Description
HyperLite SumoStance 28 ft Type IAA Fiberglass Extension Ladder
The HyperLite SumoStance Type IAA is the only extension ladder in the world with Little Giant’s patented SumoStance leveling outrigger system, which more than doubles the ladder’s base width and increases side-tip stability. The SumoStance’s intuitive safety features help ensure a safe, stable set-up for any job on almost any surface and is lighter than ordinary extension ladders. The HyperLite SumoStance also offers a side-to-side bubble level and front-to-back angle indicator, making it possible to set up the ladder safely. The side-mounted, dual-pulley system reduces the effort required to lift the fly section by 45% and removes the potential trip hazard caused by traditional center pulley rope systems. Its wide rungs let you work comfortably without foot fatigue. The patent-pending Sure-Setâ„¢ foot allows you to set the feet in either flat or spike positions and have them stay in place. Little Giant’s patent-pending nonconductive Hi-Viz green rail is safe to use around electricity and has been scientifically proven to be the most visible hue of the color spectrum to the human eye. Why should a ladder need to be Hi-Viz? Some of the most catastrophic falls are caused by people who walk or drive into an extension ladder in use. People die simply because the ladder was not visible.
