Safe and strong staircase-type step ladder
Wing Little Jumbo Safety Ladder with Bar and Tray
Pros:
- Well designed, engineered, and manufactured. This must be the third or fourth generation of this product, as the kinks have been worked out.
- The rubber-clad, slip-resistant treads are large and much more comfortable to stand on than typical step-ladders. More like standing on a stair step than a ladder.
- This ladder is quite stable; no wobble, creaking, or feeling that the ladder might fall forward or to the side.
- Strong. I'm 6' 4" and 270 lbs., and this poses no problems with this ladder. Ladder is rated for 300 lbs.
- Safety. With other short step-ladders, the frame of the ladder is to the side of the steps. This is fine for strength, but if you lose your balance and have to jump off the ladder to the side, that very frame can trip you, resulting in a nasty fall. The Little Giant's frame is [mostly] under the steps, so there's little likelihood of being tripped if you jump off to the side.
- Versatile platform. While standing on any tread, you can work to either side, to the front, or even safely turn around and face the rear.
- Folds and unfolds easily and quickly.
- You would typically want to unfold the safety-bar handle and snap it in the upright position. However, you can leave the handle in the down position, and use the device as a staircase to walk straight onto a truck, camper, trailer, temporary construction platform, stage, etc.
- The integrated work tray on top of the handle holds paint brushes, tools, etc., and has two hooks for hanging paint cans or buckets.
- Reasonably light to carry around; 25 lbs.
- Rolls around (on smooth floors only) with the built-in wheels while opened up. (If it's folded, you have to carry it.)
- We bought ours from Wing at a Home Improvement show. It arrived on-time and undamaged via UPS. (Wing is a family owned company in Utah, so their products are "made in the USA".)
Cons:
- The most expensive step ladder of this height on the market.
- The built-in wheels could have been a little larger for better rolling on uneven surfaces.
- Heavier and bulkier than other step-ladders of this height (but of course, these attributes provide much better stability, safety, and comfort).
- Other Wing ladders carry a life-time warranty. Makes you wonder why this one has a one-year warranty.
Other:
- Storage requirements when folded: ladder height is 56" and width is 4.7"
Summary:
The 4-star rating is due to the Cons listed above.

I love this ladder
I just got this ladder yeasterday and love it. It is very hard for me to use step stools or ladders. being 5' I need it!!! I am loosing but at this time am 280 lb's and it supports me fine. It came by ups and no problems. It is easy, for it's size...being the 4 step, to set up. Only thing that would help me more is if it had hand rails to use. the nice large steps helped to make sure I had shure footing. and the angle of the steps made it easy. Tho for me it would be nice if it had less space between steps,meaning for me a 4 step would be an 8 step. I do nothave a good strech with my legs and they are very short, going backwards down a ladder if the step is not right under my foot as soon as I take it off the step, I have a bit of a problem and with this, as with any ladder, I have to step down , streaching, to get to the next step. (they need to make them for shore people. :) ).
But I have had no problems with the ladder. Even put new lights in my cealing fan. (about 8 ft above me or more.) So for me, this is a great ladder.

Damaged in shipping twice by UPS...VERY FRAGILE ITEM!
I have been very disappointed with this product. It was delivered twice by UPS damaged. The factory packaging was very poor. The ladder appears to be a good idea, but it does not meet up to the standards of other Little Giant Products that I have owned. I have always highly rated Little Giant Ladders and prefer to use them over any other product. The first was crushed at the top. The second was bent at the steps reinforcement bars. Amazon.com will not ship a third and refunded my money. If this item is so fragile in shipment, I doubt that it would be durable in everyday use.
