Gorilla Ladders versus the Little Giant, who comes out on top?

Traditional ladders have come a long way. Forget your old A-frame ladder, now you can buy ladders that fold into multiple configurations and heights to suit any job. Versatile and practical, two of the leading competitors on the market are the Gorilla Ladder and the Little Giant. But which one is better? If you compare them side by side they may seem like the same thing, so lets breakdown who comes out on top and why.

Gorilla Ladder:
This nifty new ladder folds into a whopping 28 different positions. Made of fiberglass or aluminum, there are 6 different height options to buy. The multi-position ladder can be used as an A-frame, extension ladder, stepladder and scaffolding. The Gorilla Ladder has a Heavy Duty Superior Locking Hinge System, slip resistant steps, slip resistant feet, and an extra wide flared base for added stability. It also comes with a lifetime limited warranty. The great thing about this ladder is that you can buy it at most home improvement stores like The Home Depot and Lowes. The Little Giant is not. The Gorilla Ladder costs $79 to $279.

Little Giant:
The Little Giant is available in 6 different fiberglass models and can fold in up to 26 positions. It features patented Tip & Glide Wheels and Triple Locking Hinges and can hold up 1200 pounds! Easy to move and store, the Little Giant is available by infomercial only. Significantly higher priced than the Gorilla Ladder, the Little Giant starts at $360 and offers nothing more.

Essentially the same product, customer testimonials have rated the Gorilla Ladder ahead of the Little Giant based on price. The ladder is suitable for heavy duty jobs and for the weekend warrior. Another plus, is the Gorilla Ladder is available immediately, while the Little Giant can take up to 4 weeks to arrive.
