Little Giant Ladder Systems recently announced the release of the Little Giant RevolutionXE multi-use ladder system. The RevolutionXE, which is based on the original Little Giant Ladder design, weighs 20 percent less than any competing multi-use
ladder. Little Giant Ladder Systems recently secured the exclusive rights to LiteWaveTM technology (the same proprietary alloys and processing techniques used in many of the military’s aircraft in development). Ryan Crawford, Little Giant's director of engineering says, “Adapting this technology to make it work in a ladder was challenging but worth it. We have engineered the lightest, strongest 300-pound-rated multi-use ladder in the world.”
Art Wing, president, explains, “Our license agreement is very specific. I can’t even tell you how the material is processed. But I can tell you it is the lightest, strongest material ever used on a ladder of any kind.” With a combination of light weight and innovative new features, the RevolutionXE redefines the category created by its predecessor, the original Little Giant Ladder.
Manufactured here in the US, the RevolutionXE also sports several patent-pending features, including the MAG4TM hinge with magnetic palm buttons for easy tool access and new, easy-to-use Rock LocksTM for quick adjustment.
Early testers of the Little Giant RevolutionXE have responded enthusiastically to its new
features. Kevin Sanders, a Provo (Utah) electrical contractor, says “Until now, we’ve always carried around at least two or three ladders to use in addition to our multi-use
ladder, because it's just easier. But this ladder is so light—it replaces all of those ladders and weighs about the same as my little four-foot A-frame.”
Little Giant Ladder Systems plans to use these and other new technologies in several
upcoming product releases. Ryan Crawford adds, “We’re working hard to bring real
improvements to our category, and the RevolutionXE is just the beginning.”
Little Giant Ladder Systems manufactures and distributes a complete line of climbing
products used by homeowners, professionals, and businesses throughout the world. The
company boasts world-class R&D and manufacturing teams and is committed to being the innovation leader in the ladder industry.
