The Quantum® from Little Giant® is made from lightweight aluminum and is easy to use, so you can focus on getting stuff done.
This ladder is a multi-position ladder, meaning, you can set it up in different configurations that suit the project at hand. Use the Quantum as a stepladder or extension. Set it up on staircases or in 90-degree or trestle-and plank* scaffolding configurations. With the sleek metal palm buttons, you will be able to effortlessly adjust your ladder.
With the optional attached Ratchet™ levelers, you can adjust the ladder’s legs in a hands-free motion in seconds. The retractable legs yield more than 7 inches of leveling adjustment, so you can have a stable ladder, regardless of the terrain.
The Quantum is compatible with select accessories offered by Little Giant Ladder Systems®, like the AirDeck® workstation and the Quantum Step™.
Meeting or exceeding all OSHA and ANSI standards, the Quantum is a Type IA ladder rated to hold 300 lbs.

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.
