I received the Little Giant, Modell 22 Type 1A Fiberglass ladder recently and put it to work immediately. I am a homebuilder and liked the idea of carrying one ladder, especially for warranty and service work. The ladder is ingeniously designed, is very sturdy, and can be transformed to many needs.
Issues:
However, the fiberglass model should come with a lifetime membership to gym. It is so heavy it is hard to work with. One almost needs a helper to deal with the weight. Ironically the ladder is labeled as a "lite". I don't think I will be taking it into a customer's home without assistance. Secondly, the stablizer legs for unlevel ground will not work with the fiberglass model. This was a dissappointment since it makes it more difficult to use on unlevel ground.
When opening the ladder to its longest extension one must have room to work with a fully extended ladder. A typical extension ladder is extended to the desired working height while in a relatively upright (vertical) position. The LG has to be extended then raised from the ground. Recently I was trying to get into an attic access (scuttle hole)and this proved much more difficult with the LG than a typical extension ladder.
The ladder is strong and locks into position effectively. The work platform works very well although it is obviously designed for the aluminum versions. One feature I really like is the ability to keep one side of the ladder almost parallel to the wall. This allows one to get much closer to your work.
Overall I doubt I will use it much simply because of the weight issue. It is hard to get into and out of the truck and setting it up on hardwood floors would be a concern because of the weight issue. When maneuvering the ladder in tight quarters or in new home conditions the weight causes a real control concern. I don't want to lose control of it and break the china cabinet!
The ladder has its place. If I could do it again I would purchase the aluminum version in a shorter version.
