The Hero™ from Little Giant® is an ultra-lightweight stepladder made for easy transportation and versatile use. With the new top cap workstation, a comfortable standing platform, and a simple setup handle, this stepladder will become your go-to for quick, out-of-reach jobs. Add in the included Utility Box accessory, and you’ve got a one-stop workstation at height. The Hero meets or exceeds all OSHA and ANSI standards, and is rated Type IAA to hold 375 lbs.
Comfortable Standing Platform
Extra-wide steps with treads lead to a square, XL standing platform, reducing foot fatigue and giving you a comfortable and safe place to work during extended jobs.
Easy, One-Handed Setup
The locking handle on the Hero’s standing platform makes setting up and taking down the ladder a simple, single motion. It even doubles as a carrying point when you’re heading to the next job.
Workstation Top Cap
Four ports on the sides and rear of the top cap accept compatible Little Giant accessories, such as the Loot Box™, Strap Holder, or Utility Box. Plus, it has a variety of equipment slots in order to keep your tools close at hand, including hammer and drill holsters, friction locks for gallon and quart cans, a clip slot for drills and tape measures, a magnetic fastener tray, and more.
Utility Box Included
The included Little Giant Utility Box can hold up to 15 pounds of paint, tools, fasteners, and other equipment at the top of your ladder. Just place the dual-locking system into the top cap accessory ports for even more versatility at height or attach it vertically for storage without increasing the ladder’s profile.

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.
