If you need a rugged, do-it-all ladder, Little Giant Ladders has the perfect piece of climbing equipment for you: the Velocity® articulating ladder. This lightweight, multi-position, articulating ladder will help you get stuff done faster and more efficiently than the average stepladder.
Why carry multiple ladders when you can just carry one? The Velocity is a multi-position articulating ladder that can be set up as an A-frame ladder, extension ladder, staircase ladder, 90-degree ladder or trestle-and-plank* scaffolding. Easy-to-use Rock Lock® adjusters move the inner section of the ladder to get the reach you need.
The Velocity’s integrated Ratchet™ leg levelers seamlessly solve the problem of using an articulating ladder on uneven terrain. If you are setting up the articulating ladder on a spot where the ground is slanted, causing the ladder to lean or wobble, simply extend the Ratchet leg levelers to meet the ground. You will get your work done faster and safer.
Move from storage to A-frame to extension ladder configurations by pushing in the ladder's palm buttons.
Carrying a ladder for extended periods can put a strain on the body, even if the ladder is made of lightweight aluminum like this one. That's why the Velocity articulating ladder features Little Giant’s Tip & Glide™ wheels. When you need to move the ladder from place to place, simply tip the ladder on its wheels and roll it to your destination. More speed, less fatigue.
The Little Giant Velocity articulating ladder meets or exceeds all OSHA and ANSI standards and is rated Type IA to hold 300 lbs. in all folding configurations. In its A-frame position, it is rated as a two-person articulating ladder, holding 300 lbs. on both sides.

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.
