Q #1: I can't decide on which size ladder I need. What size do you recommend?

A: It is difficult to recommend a particular size because everyone has different needs. Look over the following size comparisons and you should get a good idea which Little Giant Ladder might work out best for you. If you're still not sure which size you should get, remember that it is better to overestimate your ladder height needs, because you can always shorten a longer ladder if you need to. The same can't be said of a ladder which is too short.   Most ladders which are returned to us are to exchange for the next bigger size. Don't let this happen to you.

  • The Model 17 stores at 4 1/2 feet high, and opens to a 4, 5, 6, or 7 foot stepladder. In the extension position, it extends from 9 - 15 feet, in one foot increments. It will extend 1 1/2 stories high, or equivalent to a second story window. Perfect for a 1 or 1 1/2 story house. The Model 17 makes up approximately 35% of Little Giant Ladder sales.
  • The Model 22 stores at 5 1/2 feet high, and opens to a 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 foot stepladder. In the extension position, it extends from 11 - 19 feet, in one foot increments. It will extend 2 stories high. Perfect for a 2 story house. The Model 22 makes up approximately 45% of Little Giant Ladder sales.
  • The Model 26 stores at 6 1/2 feet high, and opens to a 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 foot stepladder. In the extension position, it extends from 13 - 23 feet, in one foot increments. It will extend 2 1/2 stories, or equivalent to a third story window. Perfect for a 2 1/2 story house. The Model 26 makes up approximately 20% of Little Giant Ladder sales.

Q #2: Why is the Little Giant Ladder Model 17 only 15 feet high in the extension position?

A: This is how OSHA classifies all extension ladders, and is common among all brands of ladders. They take a measurement of all the ladder sections laid end to end, and classify the ladder as that height of extension ladder. So, a typical 24 foot extension ladder really isn't 24 measured feet high, but rather the length of the combined ladder sections. When you take into account the necessary overlap of each adjacent ladder section, you lose some of the ladder height. There are other criteria involved in designating the model height of a particular ladder, but basically this is how OSHA has established a standard in labeling extension ladders.

Q #11: What is your return policy?

A: We have a 30 day return policy on our products which are returned in resalable condition. If not returned in resalable condition, there will be no return policy offered. The condition of the ladder will be determined by a representative of LG Ladders upon receiving the ladder.

Returning a ladder for a refund within 30 days from the date of purchase: If returning an item for a refund, the return freight/shipping charge will be paid by the customer, which is industry standard, will be applied to the returned ladder. Freight charges tend to be expensive. A restocking fee of 25% will also be charged. No refunds after 30 days.

Exchanging for a different size: The return freight and outgoing freight charge will be paid by the customer, if exchanging for a different size. Once the returned ladder is received the replacement ladder will be shipped out. Any difference in price will be added or subtracted from the original purchase price plus $35 will be added for shipping.(this cost is for the first ladders shipping cost)

Orders which are cancelled after it has shipped or shipments which are refused by the customer are subject to freight charges being added as well as restocking fees of 25%.

If returning a ladder, a return authorization number is required, or it will not be accepted. A return authorization number may be obtained by calling or emailing us. The credit amount for the refund will be paid by check, or if the purchase was made by a credit card, the credit card will be credited, less any restocking fees. It is recommended you keep the box the ladder was shipped in, in case you need to return it.
