HyperLite
Tall Ladder
Using a tall extension ladder can be intimidating, but with the right ladder, it doesn’t have to be. The Little Giant® HyperLite® is a tall ladder designed with safety and ease of use in mind, so you can focus on the task-at-hand, rather than worrying about your ladder.
BENEFITS
1. LIGHTWEIGHT
More speed, less fatigue. The Hyperlite is made of lightweight fiberglass so you can move this tall ladder with ease.
2. SPIKE FEET
Spike feet give you extra stability on job sites and can be used in either the pad or spike foot position.
3. FLAT COMFORT RUNGS
Minimize foot fatigue. The HyperLite's flat rungs increase your comfort while working on the ladder.
FEATURES
NON-CONDUCTIVE FIBERGLASS
It's truly a tall ladder built for all trades. Made from lightweight, durable fiberglass, you can confidently work around electricity without fear of conductivity.
DOUBLE-PULLEY SYSTEM
Keep your feet free. The ladder's pulley was moved to the side for safety, and its double-pulleys make operation simple. Getting enough leverage to raise your tall ladder is fast and easy.
BUBBLE LEVEL
Having a tall ladder's level off by just 1 inch at the bottom causes a 9-inch lean at the top of a 19-foot ladder. The HyperLite's integrated bubble level helps set you up for safer climbing, so you don't need to worry about climbing a tall ladder.

What’s the difference between model size and extension height?
You may have noticed that our model sizing is taller than the actual extension height of any telescoping Little Giant ladder. This is due to the requirements of US ladder standards, published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI): A14.2 for aluminum ladders and A14.5 for fiberglass ladders. These standards dictate that ladder model size should be displayed as the total rail length of each section of a ladder. All US manufacturers use the same sizing system in order to comply with ANSI. Extension ladders, articulating ladders and other multipurpose ladders often have multiple sections, so the ANSI-compliant size is the sum of the lengths of each section, not the actual maximum extended height. Please refer to the individual ladder’s instruction manual for details on maximum working length, highest standing level and maximum reach. We’ve described a few of these measurements in detail below.
-
What is maximum working length?
The final locks on any telescoping ladder sections will adhere to ANSI requirements, meaning there will be an appropriately sized overlap between inner and outer railing when fully extended. The maximum working length is the length of the ladder at its final locked extension length.
-
What is highest standing level?
Depending on the ladder and configuration, ANSI standards dictate that certain rungs (such as the ladder top cap or top step of an A-frame ladder) should not be used as a step. The highest standing level takes those standards into consideration and measures the highest ANSI-approved standing rung when the ladder is extended to maximum working length.
-
What is maximum reach?
Maximum reach (or “max reach”) is the combination of the ladder’s highest standing level and a common user’s reach height. The reach height addition is based on a 5'6" [1.68 m] person with a 12" [30 cm] vertical reach. The term is used in ladder merchandising throughout the climbing solutions industry to help users quickly comprehend which projects are compatible with which ladders.
