by Shane Henson — August 8, 2012—Little Giant Ladder Systems, reportedly the maker of the original articulating ladder, has made it easier and safer for construction and maintenance crews to reach new heights with its new Combo SXE combination and Lunar extension ladders.
According to Little Giant Ladder Systems, its Little Giant Combo SXE combination ladder delivers safety to working professionals by combining the versatility and safety of the original Little Giant Ladder System with the ability to work as both a 13-foot extension ladder and a multi-height stepladder that works on uneven surfaces, even stairs. Additionally, the Combo SXE features:
- Easy-to-use, patented Rock Locks for easy telescopic adjustment;
- Smooth, strong Triple-Lock Hinge for adjustment from storage to stepladder to extension; and
- Sturdy balance bar at the top of the ladder for an “unmatched” feeling of stability.

The Lunar extension ladder is reportedly the lightest industrial-grade fiberglass extension ladder in the world—up to 25% lighter than ordinary extension ladders, says Little Giant Ladder Systems. The Lunar includes Little Giant’s exclusive side-mounted double pulley system, which reduces the force needed to extend the fly section by half. The Lunar extension also features:
- Little Giant’s exclusive LiteWave fiberglass rail technology, which results in significant weight reduction with industrial strength and durability;
- Safe lean angle indicator to ensure safe setup every time; and
- Red “Do Not Climb” rungs at the top as well as optional cable hooks and pole grips for safer operation.
