Nice ladder, good demo. I noticed you raised it in the closed position, but lowered it in the open position, could you also raise it in the open position? Thanks for posting!
I just bought the 26ft to use as at full extension for my second story. Tried it the other day and couldn't even do it, so I think I may be returning it. Any secrets? 2 people?
What waste of time. In the example shown, ladder flex under load will allow the arm to drop under the soffit board, making it all unstable. A simple spring attached "cripple" stand-off will do the job 10x better.
Very cool to see. I like that it's compact, removable, space saving, and appears easy to use, but I would be concerned that a fascia board would break during a climb if it was rotten or weak in some way. I'll stick with my Roofers ladder stabilizers until someone is able to get me past that mental hurdle.
Yeah, there's no way I'd be trusting that. What you said, and if it slips off the fascia. There's essentially no wiggle room. I'll stick with our gutter bridges. Happy for someone to give a counter opinion.
I had a good suggestion to this product, but I'm going to keep my mouth shut or else Bailey will use it and make millions. I've been in the business for over 30 years and something useful is missing.
A great design. The only thing zi can say is a problem is if you use this ladder to access a flat roof you will need to negotiate around the wider end at the top of the ladder . At least the “width” on the ladder will stabilise it stopping it from slipping sideways
I have a flat roof and I don't extend the ladder above the parapet walls to get off onto the roof deck. I merely set the top of my extension ladder against the house's shortest parapet (which extends about 14" to 16" above the roof deck), and a few inches below the top of the wall. With the ladder securely set against the wall, it is secure and safe. To get onto the roof from the ladder I don't have to negotiate any rungs above the parapet wall to get onto it. When I reach a rung that fits my 5'9" height, I simply hold onto the top of the parapet with both hands, lifting and swinging my left leg over the top of the wall, putting that foot securely onto the roof deck, shifting my weight to that leg and then swinging the other leg over. It feels secure and balanced when I do it so I believe it is simple to do. The only catch is the person must be able to swing a leg over the wall. For getting off the roof, I do the reverse. I first grab the wall with my left hand, swing my right leg over the parapet and onto the 2nd or 3rd rung down, while simultaneously grabbing the top of the wall with my right hand so both hands are firmly holding the top of the parapet. Hands are spaced according to shoulder width and what feels secure to you. Once I feel stable with both hands on the wall and the right leg securely on a rung, I then swing the left leg over the top of the wall and place my foot onto the same rung as the right one. Don't rush it and stay mindful of each step. It works for me and seems a lot easier than trying to get off of a ladder extended 4' or 5' above the parapet, although I understand how that may work better for someone who cannot lift their leg in a nearly horizontal position. I just received the 17' Velocity and haven't yet set it up, but will attempt to do it the same way because the "fanned" ends of the Little Giant might make it even more awkward to exit the ladder if it were extended several feet above the parapet, as you say.
