TB Davies Introduces Possibly World’s Safest Ladder – SumoStance from Little Giant

Home » News » TB Davies Introduces Possibly World’s Safest Ladder – SumoStance from Little Giant

October 11, 2009

At TB Davies, we are committed to keeping people safe and for the past 60 years, TB Davies Ladders have been considered the safest ladders on the market. Today we are offering you the chance to preview the entirely new `safe ladder` category that we are proud to bring to the UK market from our US partners Little Giant SumoStance during 2010.

For more than 100 years ladders remained unchanged. There were virtually no advancements in ladder design, functionality and safety until 1972 when Little Giant Ladder Systems put its first product on the market.

Our focus on product innovation and our commitment to setting the new safety benchmark in the ladder industry has paved the way for the introduction of the upcoming release of the SumoStance, SelectStep, and MicroBurst brands will revolutionise the ladder category in the UK.

One-of-a-kind safety features found only in the new SumoStance, SelectStep and MicroBurst product lines deliver stability, comfort and ease of use for professionals and homeowners.

SumoStance

The patent-pending SumoStance is the world`s only wide-stance extension ladder with adjustable outriggers, which triple its base width and increase side-tip stability by over 500%. Both SumoStance outriggers adjust 23 centimetres up and down to work on nearly any surface. Proper tilt angle and level indicators help ladder users set the SumoStance in the safe operating position. The SumoStance is the safest extension ladder in the world.

SelectStep

The world`s only multi-position stepladder is also the world`s most comfortable stepladder. The heavy duty rated yet lightweight SelectStep is a multi height stepladder, and is the only stepladder that can be safely used on stairs and sloping ground. No matter the chosen height or angle of the ladder, the patent-pending SelectStep provides a comfortable built-in standing platform. In addition, the AirDeck utility tray and handrail makes standing on the SelectStep feel as good as standing on solid ground.

MicroBurst

The MicroBurst is the only stepladder in the world with Fold-Flat technology, storing in nearly half the space of an ordinary A-frame stepladder, making it easy to store and carry. The StableLock spreader system is the strongest part of the ladder, constructed of high-strength steel, creating a solid A-frame structure that virtually prevents ladder shifting or walking. The patent-pending MicroBurst`s rear base width is 10 centimetres wider than traditional stepladders for optimal side-tip stability.
