let you use the ladder as an adjustable extension ladder, A-frame ladder, staircase ladder, and as trestleand-plank scaffolding system. Wide-flared legs, rubberized feet, and quality construction give you
unmatched stability in any of its 24 unique configurations. Because it is constructed of aerospace-grade
aluminum, this ladder is ultra-light and ultra-strong.

extension ladder.
Q: What do the U-shaped Lock Tabs on the side do?
Little Giant 24-in-1 17’s U-shaped Lock Tabs give the ladder the ability to telescope on both sides,
allowing you to adjust the ladder into a number of configurations. In fact, this ladder gives you a 4, 5, 6,
and 7-foot stepladder. Since each side adjusts independently, you can use it on sloping ground and
uneven surfaces. As an extension ladder, it extends in one-foot increments all the way to 15 feet.

Q: What makes the Little Giant 24-in-1 17’ Ladder so special?
Little Giant Ladder Systems has engineered the Little Giant 24-in-1 17’ to offer excellent performance
and durability with remarkable mobility and ease-of-use.
Q: What else can the Little Giant 24-in-1 17’ Ladder do?
The Little Giant 24-in-1 17’ is so versatile. The ladder you need inside your kitchen is not the ladder you
need outside to prune a tree. Instead of buying a ladder sized for each job, you use a single Little Giant
24-in-1 17’ and have four different size stepladders, and seven different sized extension ladders in one
affordable package. You can also use two halves of the ladder to create scaffolding trestles to cover a
larger work area in maximum comfort. All of these features (7 feet of stepladder and 15 feet of straight
extension ladder, plus scaffolding and staircase ladders) store in one compact, 4’7” package.
Q: Why do you call the Little Giant 24-in-1 a 17’ ladder when its maximum height is 15 feet?
In the ladder industry, we measure extension ladders by the total length of material. So although the
Little Giant 24-in-1 has 17 feet of material, like any extension-style ladder, it is designed to telescope
with one part nested inside the other. So although it does have 17 feet of material, it has a max height
of 15 feet.
Q: What is a Work Platform used for?
The Work Platform fits on the rungs of the ladder. Use it as a tray for a paint bucket or tools, or use it as
a sturdy, comfortable standing platform. You can work with both hands in any direction. The Work
Platform's unique design also makes it easy to store inside your Little Giant ladder so you won't have to
worry about losing it. The Work Platform also serves as a stabilizing spreader bracket for your Little
Giant's trestle-and-plank scaffolding system.
