This is the Landcruiser of ladders....Tough, Heavy, Safe and Expensive

This is a great ladder I use it every day. I'm a commercial Electrician running service calls out of a van and since I got this, I got rid of my 4', 6' plus my 8' ladders. It's definitely heavy. I installed wheels on it (I ordered replacement wheels for the Dark Horse Ladder from Little Giant and they fit perfectly) so I could roll it around or I just throw it on my cart. The weight is OK by me since the sturdy build and quality materials that make it so heavy are also the reason it is so stable. It never walks or shifts when I'm on it like regular ladders do. I got the Conquest so I could push the narrow end up through ceiling tiles and lean it against a wall or large sprinkler main to gain access to tough to reach boxes. The model I got also has a rubber  padded V-notched bar on the narrow end (not pictured on the Amazon page) to lean against pole lights safely. I ordered the Standing Platform accessory which makes being on a ladder all day much more bearable. I liked it so much I'm getting a cheaper aluminum Little Giant Ladder for my house.

Personally, I bought this ladder to SAFELY reach the high pantry shelves within my home, but have found it just as useful anywhere else within my homes interior.  ~  I feel much more secure standing on this ladder due to the extended hand-grip and highly recommend it for any homeowner or housekeeper, especially the elderly!  ~ Good quality construction and the best weight limit compared to other models I researched!
Bottom Line; better to be SAFE than sorry....BUY ONE!!!

This is very good ladder. For me it's been very strong, stable and not too heavy. The latching mechanism/ lock is a little time consuming to change angles and such but, secure in it's locking. I use it around the house for house up keep and maintenance and have found it fun to use. I'm not a spring chicken and feel safe on it.

Yes this is a beast of a trailer -- heavy (!), solidly built, rugged. I loaded this trailer with a very heavy load (the Friends of Stevens Creek Booth kit with a very heavy canopy and lots of equipment) and it held up fine (see attached pictures). Best to use 1" nylon tie down straps with ratchets rather than bungie cords if you have a heavy load as bungie cords flex quite a bit. This solid trailer handles automotive style tie down straps very well. See attached pictures for the load I hauled (about 150 lbs).

I got this trailer (the biggest I could find on Amazon) to haul heavy & long loads and it did not disappoint. At $240 it was almost twice the cost of some other smaller but similar cargo trailers but the cargo bed was also about twice as long. The only bigger bicycle trailer I know of that you can buy (but not on Amazon) is the Surly Bill (63" x 24" cargo bed) but that one is about $1049 (4 times the price).

Recommended speed for the Cycle Force Trail Monster trailer from its owners manual is 10 miles/hour or less. I wish the trailer was wider and/or had a lower center of gravity so it would be more stable around turns and over bumps. When going about 12 mph on a road, one wheel hit a manhole cover bump on a gentle turn and the empty trailer flipped over. My aluminum burley trailer (for kids and dogs) has a wheel base width of 27" center to center (and is much more stable around turns) whereas the wheel base width of this trailer is 22.5" center to center and the center of gravity is higher as well.  The additional width would make this heavy trailer even heavier but it would also make it much less prone to flipping. If you have a top heavy load just go very slow and avoid tilted trails/roads or ones with big bumps.

The tires themselves are very wide and stay on top of gravel/sand/dirt very well although they do raise the center of gravity. The rims seem to be standard 16" rims although the very thick tires make the wheels about 20" in diameter.

The cargo bed space within the sides is 16.5" x 40" but the bed itself is 18.5x42". I was able to easily handle a long canopy by opening up the back gate. I it is easy to open up both the front and back gates. The sides do not quite fold down flat but almost. Best to leave the sides up though if you can so your load does not shift onto one of the wheels.

The trailer was very easy to assemble and attach to a bike. All around this is a very strong well made cargo trailer that can haul a lot. If the trailer wheel base was 6-8" wider, I would give it five stars but marked it down because of the stability/tipping issue (especially important if you intend to go off road with this trailer).

These ramps are a much safer alternative to using a floor or bottle jack on the side of the road. Expensive, but very well built. One will last a lifetime.

Like this ladder for working on our school buses, feel safe at the highest level with room to move around safely. Great ladder, strongly made for the cost.

I was concerned because this package came severely damaged. It's so heavy it's shipped by truck freight, not UPS or other parcel delivery. But a quick call to the factory confirmed that everything that was supposed to be there was indeed still there.

This is a heavy product and installation may not be possible by most do-it-yourselfers. I hired a guy who installs garage storage and ladders and he did a great job.

This was replacing an existing 10' ladder (which despite its size had been installed in my 12-foot ceiling and would not reach the floor). The opening required for this longer ladder was of course longer, meaning there was some cutting into the ceiling and headers required. Oddly, the opening required for this ladder was actually about 1-2" NARROWER than the existing ladder.

In any case, it was installed and it works great. It's sturdy, rugged, and attractive. It does, however, require another ladder (or stepladder) to deploy the ladder and put it back because of its height and weight. But I don't know how that could be avoided.

Pros
> Sturdy
> Attractive

Cons
> Requires a step ladder to deploy and close
> the little hand rails on the side of the ladder don't do much good

This thing is a beast. I'm not a small guy - I'm right at the suggested weight limit - and yet I feel quite comfortable and safe using this. It folds up and rolls away when you don't need it. The biggest selling point to me beyond the weight limit are the handles or arms that extend upwards. They are a great safety feature. I've had lots of platform type ladders in the past and this is by far the most stable, sturdy, and easy to use step ladder I've ever used - by far.

This is such a fantastic design; really does the work of 3 different ladders.  I have limited storage, so a ladder that could perform multiple functions was a must for the house.  Construction is outstanding.  I highly recommend this to anyone requiring a ladder.

This is a must have accessory for any Little Giant ladder.  It provides the user with comfort and stability that is unmatched with any other ladder I have used.  If you are working on something that requires standing on a ladder for any length of time this work platform makes the Little Giant Ladder a pleasure to use.  I have stood on other ladder rungs and after several hours your feet get real sore and tired from balancing on narrow ladder rungs.  This metal platform is rock solid and very well made and it looks like it will provide a lifetime of service. When standing on the work platform you can reach much farther in all directions because you are not worried about losing your balance.  This means I get more work done faster with less time spent moving and repositioning the ladder.

Wow was I impressed on how heavy this actually was when it arrived. Heli-arc welded links and high strength hardened steel. Going to be hard to get though this chain with bolt cutters. I use to secure a gas powered compressor for jobsites. Sure if someone wanted to grab a grinder they could get through it, but during the day I'm not worried. it's when I'm too tired to get it out of the back of my truck that this chain gives me piece of mind. The woven sheath over the chain keeps from tearing up the finish on the compressor as well as my truck bed. Thanks Amazon and Trimax for and excellent product.

My neighbor has a Little Giant, I got the Werner.  What's the main difference between the two?  His cost about $400.
This ladder works great and is solid.  The rubber feet seem to dig in to whatever you set the ladder on.  I had this thing on desert landscaping rocks once and it gripped well.

I bought my 22 ft. ladder 1990. It is still going strong. Since it is a bit heavy I also bought the 13 ft. version for most of the stuff around the house. These two ladders will be around long after I'm gone. You could say that these are heirloom ladders because you can keep passing these down generation after generation. As far as tools go, I have never made a better purchase. A final note, I am a large fella (Over 250 lbs.) and I feel safe on both of these ladders at full extension.

I'm really loving this Little Giant. It is truly a high quality ladder and spanning 22 ft., it comes in real handy. I have few other Cosco ladders like this one, that reach 17 ft. that are nice too. But this one, as far a quality goes, has them beat.

The knuckles are a lot easier to maneuver on the Little Giant vs. the Cosco... which are real stiff and hard to turn. The Little Giant expands easier too.

Painting and putting up siding and soffit with the little Giant is easier. My favorite feature I like most is the quick action lever locks.

Although this ladder is rated at 300 pound, it easily handles twice that as an A-frame, but 300# or less as a straight vertical ladder.

One drawback from this model of the Little Giant is you cannot split the two frames to make two A-Frame ladders like you use to be able to do. That's where my Cosco ladders differ.

All-in-all, this is a wonderful high quality compact and versatile ladder which will see it fair share of hard work.

I'm a big guy and was leery on a ladder like this supporting me.  but it is rock solid, and i'm sure can handle more than the stated capacity (am 6'5 430 and feels sturdy as a rock-though manufacturer won't recommend it!).  I think I might opt for a shorter one next time-so it's lighter.  I did end up buying a 7' one that is light and easy to move around.  But this is very strudy and i use it when i need to and outside.  the feet support on soft dirt good-excellent quality-a lifetime product.

I found the ladder to be very versatile and hence useful.  It is very stable as a foot ladder that makes it easy to be on the ladder and work -  painting, doing carpentering chores, etc.  The biggest issue is that with its weight being 60+ pounds, help is often needed to move the ladder around.

I bought this ladder and it worked fine, is quality construction and lived up to everything it advertised.  My issue is that this ladder is big, heavy and very difficult to maneuver in my house & garage so I returned it.  Probably not a good solution for inside a house like changing ceiling light bulbs or fans however for outdoor projects this should work just fine.  Werner makes a quality ladder and this one is well built.
