This fortress wasn’t made to keep things out—it was made to keep you in. With a large standing platform, wraparound enclosure, and auto-closing gate, the Fortress™ takes the benefits of a platform ladder and combines them with the lightweight, quick-and-easy setup of a stepladder.
Simple Setup and Storage
One movement, one person, one second—that’s all you need to handle the Fortress like a pro. Just push the platform handle to deploy or pull it to fold.
Enclosed Platform
The extra-large standing platform features a gated, wraparound enclosure that shuts automatically when you step in.
Ground Cue
Show your ankles some love. 20% of ladder accidents come from missing the last step on the way down. With the Ground Cue®, putting weight on the bottom step makes an audible and tactile “click,” letting you know you’ve reached the final step of the ladder.
Innovative Tool Tray
Slots, holes, hooks, and a closeable container. This versatile top cap is our best one yet—plus, you can lean on it.

Size refers to the ANSI definition of length. ANSI states that the size is defined by the combined length of all rail sections, with a tolerance of +/-3” on each section. Note, this does not take into account any overlap between sliding sections like those on an extension or multi-purpose ladder. This can cause a disparity in the size of the ladder versus the actual height. To determine which ladder you need, Little Giant recommends you reference maximum reach height instead of size.
The terminology for ladder duty ratings, grades, and types can sometimes be confusing. The ladder's duty rating is the maximum safe load capacity of that ladder according to ANSI standards. There are 3 types of ratings that Little Giant offers:
Type I - Made to handle everyday projects. Has a load capacity of 250 lbs.
Type IA- Designed with durability and regular use in mind. Has a load capacity of 300 lbs.
Type IAA- Built for professional performance and rugged use. Has a load capacity of 375 lbs.
Ladder specifications can be confusing due to safety regulation requirements. According to ANSI (American National Standards Institute), the ladder size is defined as the total length of each section and does not account for overlap on extension ladders. As a result, the overlapping sections reduce the total length of the ladder. When purchasing any ladder customers should pay particular attention to the maximum reach to ensure the correct product for the job.
