I don't know where you got the idea that anyone thought it was a magical limit, but you are right in that the safe working load ratings are not magical limits.

But, if it's some magical "limit" that can't be safely exceeded, then 20% should make it fail...never even flexed. Removed and installed fairly heavy lighting fixtures with BIL who was of similar...

Extension ladders are referred to by the total length of their individual parts, but due to needed overlap their max extension is a few feet less. For example, a 24' extension ladder is mad of two...

it's called working/reaching height. it's been used for years

Wow, so what logic are they using to call it a 17' ladder if it's only 15'? They must have some explanation or they'd be hit with a class action suit eventually.

You are exceeding the safe working load limit by 10-20% not doubling it like the other guy was talking about.

at work we send 350+ lbs guys up ladder rated at 225lbs all the time. those ladders tend to bend, and one of the steps broke on one once. however, any of the 250lb haven't broke but they flex. we...

Hardly courting death! The true weight rating is likely a multiple of what they are allowed to publish on the side of the ladder. My 225-250# body has spent plenty of time on a ladder 'rated' at...

Little Giant looks like a good ladder. I have been looking at the 22' but with 15" ceilings I'm not sure if that would be enough.

Weight ratings on ladders are the maximum safe working load, meaning that if you exceed it you are comprising safety by increasing the flex of the ladder and the possibility of it breaking. 500 lbs...

I know you jest, but I'm 215 lbs at 6'0" and under 15% body fat. If I was holding a bucket of water or a tool box I'd technically be exceeding that limit, which seems ridiculous because I'm not what...

How tall does it get as an a-frame ladder?

Shows $161.43 for me...

Looks like price is changing every few minutes now so apologies if you don't see the same price I got it for!

Was checking Amazon for ladders today and low and behold wouldn't you know it the Little Giant Alta One 17' version is the lowest price ever according to the three c's website. It's exactly what I...
