Even designs created with the best computer programs, FEA’s, and computer models are not always right. With an investment of tens of thousands of dollars in tooling needed to make some of the sections, companies need to be certain all aspects of design, fit, form, and function work for that product.

Yes, the Little Giant® brand has been a household name for more than 30 years. In fact, Little Giant ladders are now one of America’s best-selling ladders thanks to their safety, stability, and versatility. A Great Ladder Needed to Reinvent Itself Although the Little Giant had been a favorite for three decades, it did have a few issues. First, because its designers gave it the most-robust performance characteristics possible, the ladder was simply too heavy for some customers. Second, the last of the patents protecting their standard multi-use ladders expired in the early 2000s. Soon thereafter, the market was flooded with cheap imitations from both the United States and outside the country. Goal: lighten up. The company’s first goal was to cut the ladder’s weight by a full 20 percent, yet still maintain the strength and quality that Little Giants are known for. Goal: step it up. Little Giant needed another breakthrough. It had to be a revolutionary product that was so unique it couldn’t be knocked off – a ladder that would provide as much protection as possible from competitors.
