HyperLite 16 ft Type IA Fiberglass Extension Ladder
The Little Giant? HyperLite? extension ladder is the lightest Type IA 300 lbs-rated fiberglass extension ladder in the world, bar none. The patent-pending HyperLite weighs up to 40 percent less than the leading competitor’s standard fiberglass ladder without sacrificing strength and stability. The HyperLite’s wide rungs provide great comfort, reduce foot fatigue, and are very easy to replace. It also features Little Giant’s unique side-mounted, dual-pulley system, which reduces the effort required to lift the fly section by 45% and removes a potential trip hazard caused by traditional center-pulley rope systems. Little Giant’s patent-pending Hi-Viz green rail is one of the most easily detected color hues to the human eye. Why should a ladder need to be Hi-Viz? Some of the most catastrophic falls are caused by people who walk or drive into an extension ladder in use.
