Little Giant 16′ HyperLite 375 lb. Capacity Type IAA Fiberglass Extension Ladder – 17916

Ordinary extension ladders are heavy; and always have been. The leading cause of extension ladder injury is linked to the weight of the ladder—often resulting in torn rotator cuffs, herniated disks, ankle sprains and knee ligament tears from loading and unloading or carrying heavy traditional extension ladders. These injuries have simply been part of using extension ladders, until now. The Little Giant® HyperLite™ extension ladder is the lightest Type IA and IAA fiberglass extension ladder in the world, bar none.
