Our verdict

A versatile multi position ladder worth the higher price if you actually use more than one of its configurations. More than needed if a single fixed height stepladder already covers the job.

Overview

The Little Giant Velocity is an aluminum telescoping ladder with an 18 foot maximum reach that reconfigures into an A-frame, extension ladder, staircase ladder, or 90 degree wall position from one frame. It is rated for 300 pounds and includes wheels for moving it around a jobsite.

Instead of owning a separate stepladder and extension ladder, the Velocity's independently telescoping sides and hinge let one ladder cover several jobs, which suits pros who move between tasks on a site or homeowners short on storage space. Rock Lock and Palm Button adjusters are the mechanism for locking each height in place.

Converts to A-frame, extension, staircase, or 90 degree positions
Aircraft grade aluminum construction
Tip and Glide transport wheels

Who it's for

Fits tradespeople and serious DIYers who need one ladder to cover A-frame, extension, staircase, and wall angle jobs without buying several ladders. Someone who only ever needs a basic step stool for one fixed height will find this more ladder than they need.

Pros and cons

Pros

Converts between A-frame, extension, staircase, and wall positions
18 foot maximum reach in one ladder
Aluminum build keeps weight manageable at that reach
Built in wheels for moving it around a job

Cons

Costs more than a single purpose ladder
More moving parts to learn and maintain than a fixed stepladder

Performance notes

Independently telescoping sides let each side of the ladder extend to a different length, so it can sit level on stairs or uneven ground, while the articulating hinge locks the frame into A-frame, extension, staircase, or 90 degree configurations. Tip and Glide wheels let the ladder roll on its own feet for moving it around a site instead of carrying the full weight.
