For the 17 foot Alta one, in extension ladder mode, how high is the highest step I can stand on? Thanks.

If the ladder is unfolded to its full 17 foot length, it's a safety consideration and, additionally, depends upon what you are doing. Regardless, you probably don't want to stand where the top rung is lower than your waist if you intend to do anything that requires keeping your balance. In that regard, this ladder is no different from any other ladder of similar length. If you are leaning against a building, you won't get much higher than the top rung being at your chest. If you are leaning against a tree limb you might get a rung higher. In any case, you don't want to have a situation where you are either bending your body backwards or reaching backwards to do the work.

Sorry for the delay. When extended the top rung is 14 feet from the base. However, I wouldn't suggest standing on that rung. Better to drop down a couple of rungs to the 3rd from the top which is 12 feet from the base.

Can't answer that as the highest level is a function of the stability of the ground under the ladder, the surface against which the upper point will be resting, the availability of a spotter-cum-ladder holder and the anchoring of both top and bottom that may be available. The ladder itself is very well built and solid/strong. You should do some on line reading about ladder safety and be excessively cautious. OLDHOUSEONLINE.COM has a good introductory page on how to use a ladder.

As noted prior this ladder is 7 feet at the top hinge fully extended in the A-frame configuration. The highest working step (two from the top) is at about 5 feet. So a 6 foot person, working from this step, should be able to reach a 10 foot ceiling.

Its the weight not the height of the ladder that is important. The extensions are heald in place by friction. I only put about 170 lbs on the ladder and had no problem.

The Little Giant Alta-One model 22 will telescope up to a 9' A-frame step ladder. For safety you need to stand 3' rungs from the top. So if your feet are at the 6' level and you have a 6' reach, then you can reach 11'7" comfortably.

The highest point of the pedal is almost inconsequential because when one foot is at the high-point the other foot is at the low point, which drops your height below where you would be when the pedals are even (at mid stride). My observations show that mid-stride is approx. 5" lower than the highest point. In this case, a high pedal height of 17" would mean the mid-pedal height is 12". This is the number to add to your height to determine the highest point that your head will go when using the elliptical. If that point is lower than your ceiling height, then you should be ok.

NO. Top step is. 30" from the floor. But it is a very sturdy light weight ladder.

When the ladder is in the open position the top of the ladder is at 5 feet on the lowest setting and 8 feet on the highest setting. You can not stand on the top orange step. Great little ladder.

The 26' is the total length with extended. However, both sides telescope, so it is easily tall enough when in an a-frame setup to allow you to reach a 17' ceiling. The ladder is very heavy, but this is mainly only a problem when opening or closing it. Moving it about isn't a problem for me.

Our ceiling is 12' 6" and I am 6' 4". The ladder is very sturdy and I just got off the ladder with my measuring tape. The top step, a platform meant for standing on, is at 45" and reaching as high as I can I just get to 11'. I don't think you will make it. We love the ladder for our master closet with floor to ceiling shelves and my library with 10' high bookshelves but you will need to get the next size up. Great product!

The total unfolded length is 44 in. The rise between steps is 7 in. My truck is '01 2500 Dodge Ram, very high and yes the ladder does reach the ground. It has worked well for me.

I measured straight up from the floor to the top step with a yardstick, and it measured 30 inches.I have found the height of each step to be almost perfect for various tasks. I am 5'5" and love this ladder.Hope the info helps.

I am so sorry to reply so slowly; it got lost in the shuffle! The top step is 19" high. My bed is 24" high. It looks like they would be able to make the last hop. These stairs are so solid, and with a wide platform, that my Max feels secure in using them.

When open, the ladder is 51 inches to its highest point, the top of the tool tray. The highest step is the platform which is 33.75 inches from the floor. The floor space needed when open is 20 inches wide by 32 inches deep.When closed, the ladder is 55.25 inches high and 4.75 inches thick.

The top step is 29 inches. I have 10' ceilings and can touch them with my finger tips. I am 5'3". No problem cleaning ceiling fans. I like the support of the high handle that you can lean into and the overall lightweight construction. Folds up great for storage.

For me, specifically relating to the 17' model (12017) I have used wide boards on the very top rungs. Using a tape measure from the concrete floor in my shop to the top of the board going across, I have a height of 46-48 inches. I found this perfectly fine to use in this capacity, though it is NOT recommended by Little Giant or myself. I am probably stupid to do it...lol That said, I have never felt unsafe or in danger. Truthfully, I am very careful and cautious.

You need something very stable to stand on when you are rolling the ladder up the roof. I had a staging set up and stood on the platform with the edge of the roof at about waist height. I needed a 16' section from a 32' extension ladder to get to the ridge on my roof. There is a u-tube video showing how to do this from an extension ladder that was stabilized so it would not shift.

I'm sorry, I really can't answer that one. I have the 21 foot ladder. In the A position, each side would be about 11 feet. With the spread required, I would GUESS that the top of the ladder would be between 9.5 and 10 ft from the ground. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. See Robert Wheeler's answer. Much better than my own. I probably go one rung higher than the 6' 7 1/4" that Robert quotes, so I would say that the max working height for me is closer to 8 ft. Thanks Robert!BTW: This is a great ladder. It's pretty heavy though. Quite a bit heavier than an equivalent 10ft step ladder, or even a 20 ft extension ladder. However, it's pretty amazing the number of different situations that you can use the ladder in. I'm sorry, I really can't answer that one. I have the 21 foot ladder.
