Ladders, Velocity with Wheels, M26, 26 Ft, Multi-Position Ladder, Aluminum, Type 1A, 300 lbs Weight Rating, (15426-001)

I wanted something that I could load into the back of the SUV to take with me to the lake. When my sailboat is on the hard for the winter the toe rails are well over eight feet above the ground. Even the swim ladder is unreachable without a step ladder when it is in it's stowed position up against the stern. The lowest rung is still four feet off the ground when deployed. Getting on and off the boat can be a challenge, not to mention being able to reach the entire hull for cleaning and waxing. I borrowed a six foot step ladder from someone else in the marina and found it to be just a little too short for working on the hull... and it wouldn't fit in my SUV anyhow. I just unboxed my Little Giant Velocity M13 adjustable ladder. I didn't bother with reading the included instructions before messing around with it. It is heavier than I expected it to be but it is still very manageable. It has about the same weight as my 16' extension ladder, which won't fit in the SUV either. I was very pleasantly surprised at how the hinge latching mechanisms work. Just push them in, they are spring loaded and lock in place, open the hinge and they lock automatically in A frame mode. Push them again, they lock in their released position, and you just continue unfolding the hinge until they automatically lock in the extension ladder configuration. The locking mechanisms for extending the legs work the same way, easy and secure. Very easy, very secure. I went up and down both sides of this ladder while it was in it's step ladder configuration as well as up and down it when it was fully extended as an extension ladder. Solid enough for me, I'm over 200lbs, and I'm kind of fussy... I used to paint houses. You need to be able to trust your ladder. This is an awesome little ladder.

I've used my 26' ladder in several configurations and love it. It's extremely sturdy and durable in any configuration, and can be safely handled by one person (although for some jobs, 2 is a good idea). It's been great to have for indoor and outdoor work around the house. I've had to contact Little Giant customer service for an issue and their response was polite, quick, and they immediately worked to resolve my ladder's issue under warranty. It didn't cost me a thing. My particular ladder had a defect in one of the two latching mechanisms, which meant that when the ladder was extended one of the latches would give way even with minimal weight on it. The second latching mechanism would keep the extension in place enough that I didn't fall, but the ladder didn't feel secure to stand on. I contacted customer service, which is available online and by phone, and submitted a claim. They asked for my contact information and then sent me a message asking for any details about the issue. They had the option to email or text pictures/video of the problem, which made explaining the problem really simple. I wish all companies had such modern ways to make warranty claims! I was able to communicate directly with the engineer assigned to my case and, after they reviewed my video of the problem, they approved a new ladder extension to be sent out to me at their own expense. I really couldn't be happier with their customer service or their product.

Good quality, quick shipping. Bought for my son to use around the house. He said it is very stable, folds up for compatibility.

As a new homeowner, I needed a ladder or ladders. I had been looking at a small step ladder and a larger ladder to use for getting on the roof / cleaning gutters etc. This was a great find. It is sturdy, easy to use and very versatile. I have used it inside to clean and work on light fixtures. I use it outside to clean gutters and fix siding. It is more adjustable than I originally expected and can be used with one side straight, putting you closer to what you are working on. It is light enough to lug around (or use the built in wheels to drag it a distance) and easy enough to fully extend and place against my home to get up to the roof (single story home). Other reviews have suggested it is heavy / cumbersome to do this but from my experience, this is just as simple as any other ladder. Possibly easier as this is pretty light compared to other ladders I have used. Currently this is the only ladder I own and I am able to use it for all projects I need a ladder for, big or small. I am someone who does not enjoy being on ladders, so for me a sturdy ladder is a must. I do not get a nervous feeling on this ladder. It feels solid. I also like that the top gets wider like the bottom. This makes it easier to get on/off a roof. I highly recommend this ladder. I bought it as a lightening deal for a great price, but it would be worth the money at regular price.

The ladder is perfect. Easily adjustable, strong and not heavy. I bought the leveler option which provides even more stability in unusual positions I suggest watching the video online about the various settings.

Sturdy ladder, commercial grade & security

Una de las mejores escaleras plegables de su categoría, e comprado otras de otras marcas que son mucho mas delgadas y se mueven mucho, esta esta mas solida y aparte tiene llantitas para moverla mas fácil, la compre a buen precio: ~5.2k, aparte le compre este accesorio de la misma marca: 15047-002, es una bandeja para poder colocar herramientas/pintura etc, funciona muy bien en modo tijera. 10/10

Leiter war schon bei arbeiten in Funktion hat perfekt geklappt im Treppenhaus

This is a great ladder! Some say it's heavy but I don't think so and I only weigh 120 lbs It can configure to many different forms and is really nice to have around the house. Configuring it does take some practice. I'm a long way from being as good as the guy in the infomercial but I managed to get it on the first try. It is very stable and doesn't wobble at all. The flared legs keep it straight and the build quality is high so that it doesn't flex when you stand on it.
