UTAH LADDER COMPANY EARNS NATIONAL AWARD FOR INNOVATION

Launching an innovative strike into a stale ladder category, Little Giant Ladder Systems introduced the company's new vision at the 2009 National Hardware Show in Las Vegas. Little Giant unveiled eight new products that garnered praise from industry insiders and major industry media outlets.

In fact, Popular Mechanics, the world's leading science, technology, and engineering magazine, gave Little Giant's new BigTrex™ stepladder the Editor's Choice Award for excellence in product design and innovation. Little Giant Ladder Systems was the only ladder company to receive such an award at the show.

The BigTrex stepladder offers the deepest (6 1/2 inches), most comfortable rungs of any A-frame stepladder on the market. The BigTrex also features Little Giant's new patent-pending NoPinch system, a cross-braced spreader system with an attached handle for much-improved stability and ease of use.

The BigTrex also comes with the new Little Giant AirDeck workstation, which connects to the BigTrex' specially designed top cap and stores securely in the back legs. This optional accessory comes with slots for power tools, screwdrivers, extension cords, mud knives, standard-sized paint cans, and a magnetized tray for loose hardware.
