The Little Giant Velocity is constructed of a special alloy that makes it 20 percent lighter than any comparable industrial-rated ladder. The velocity also includes several innovative new features such as the dual-pin hinge and the easy-to-use rock locks for quick adjustment. The velocity can be used in many unique configurations as an A-frame, extension, staircase and 90-degree ladder and with velocity trestle brackets (sold separately) to form a trestle-and-plank scaffolding system. The velocity's wide-flared legs and aerospace-grade aluminum construction provide an unmatched feeling of safety and stability.
