What is the difference between the Classic 22 and the Alta One 22 ladders? Having trouble figuring out which one is better for me.

I don't know. It looks like the alta one has riveted steps instead of welded. 300lbs and 250 lbs www.littlegiantladder.com/compare/

I'm not sure about the difference but I can tell you that the Classic is a great ladder except that it is very heavy and the rungs are very narrow. It does have wheels so it can be rolled but it's wide so it it's not easy to get it through doors and sometimes you do have to lift it. I love that I can get close to the wall by shortening one side and that feature also means it doesn't take up as much space in the room when you need to place it around furniture. Mine came with a work platform so that once you climb to the height you need it is comfortable to stand on it. Good luck with whatever you decide.

On the Little Giant website, go to the "What's New" section, and those are the features the Revolution model offers above and beyond this model. To recap, the Revolution is approx. 20% lighter, has a quad-lock hinge (4 pins instead of 2 in the lock), and due to the new pins, it has a new lever called a "Rock Lock", which is a push and release lock on the sides to adjust the ladder. While any sort of weight reduction is a good thing (when still rated for the same load), don't let this weight reduction fool you into thinking the original model is overly heavy. I have the 22' model, and I find it easy to move around. The quad locks are debatably useful, as I have never felt my 2 pin design was unstable or even the least bit wobbly. The redesigned release locks do sound nice however, as the original ones take a little getting used to.

I have installed both the older version of the hoist, and the new rail version. I did not have the problem with the screws or rollers of the older version that some reviewers mentioned (perhaps they had even older models). With that being said, the new rail mount hoist is superior to the older model. I had no problem installing. Rollers, ropes and hooks are a bit heavier duty. The rail is better because you don't have to install 2x4's.

In my opinion the 36 inch is best for taller people or someone that is used to a longer splitting ax. The 28" still works just as good and may be easier for you to handle and aim at the logs.

it might be a bit top heavy, I have multiple height ladders and found out a 6ft. gives you more reach than usually needed. If you are trying to trim at 20 ft or higher I would recommend a professional swinging branches from that height can be dangerous.

Aluminium is much lighter. I have never seen a wooden attic ladder rated for 350lbs so presumably aluminium is also much stronger in this application at least.

about the same space as original, the ladder ain't as big as I thought its just the right size, if your in a space that has more space one way than the other u might have to flip ladder verticaly and then back depending on the specific moves

im torn between them as well. was going for the bar32 because the listed price was higher so assumed better quality but i've been to the DeLonghi website and they are both for $99. so i wonder where did that $210 came from? lol . but i think im still going for the BAR32 though.. just like it better i guess...

I completely agree with Sandalsallyearlong, I had the 5914 and with all of the flimsy plastic parts, it broke after the second use. I got the 7411 after a lot more research, and have had no problems with it. However, I don't take it up and down the stairs. I think for the extra $50 you can't go wrong with the more sturdy 7411.

Don't know, the ladder is pretty universal, it allows for some cutting and changes. It is designed for a lot of applications. Hope this helps.

Functionality not much difference. My friend has the basic model that's 20 years old and still going strong. This model is a whole lot cleaner to maintain. The ash pot contains all the ash and embers. My friends complaint is ash and soot everywhere. So if you don't mind the mess and clean up go with the basic.

Not sure what the difference is but I love the Classic! I use it all the time.

What you are referring to is actually the Little Giant 12022 RevolutionXE. The main difference between this ladder and all the other models is the replacement of the spring loaded ladder extension locks with a pop-out lever extension lock. You will see this at the top of the ladder as a banana shaped rocker. The other option is the ratchet extension (extra cost) that is available only on the Revolution. This allows you to extend down individual legs with an internal sliding section via a ratchet device to level the ladder over uneven ground. The normal ladders have a optional uneven ground attachment that adjusts by sliding through a clamp attaching it to the leg. Little Giants come in two ratings, 250 lbs. and 300 lbs. The Revolution and their standard ladder are rated at 300 lbs, where as the Alta-One is a lighter version of the standard ladder rated at 250 lbs.

My 22' ladder has had no problem riding on them and I have a cargo basket with extender installed on mine that weigh 60 lbs. that is on there daily and cross bars show no sign of giving in after 7 months. Hope this helps you.

I would also go with the former model. This one has less thicknesses. It is sturdier because of what it is made of, but it doesn't do everything I would want it to.

I think the photo that is on the listing is accurate. I believe there is a newer version of this ladder from little giant that may have a slightly different shape to it. Buying the one listed here is probably the older model (that's what I have).
