I have owned one for years( different model) and I don’t like heights at all. Not scared just cautious. It is solid, stable, rattle free, and confidence producing even fully extended. It’s the only ladder I use at any height.
Mine arrived the other day,the A.T model,fantastic thing,but is all aluminum,and quite heavy. but love it! As it happened,it arrived as I was hanging up a large wall clock,struggling on a step ladder,so out of the box and straight to work! I can also reach my Velux windows to clean them,safely...so,...very happy bunny! Pricey...but so worth it,once you see the quality and workmanship in its construction.
This ladder sucks. I've been using little giant ladders for years on jobsites. Yes, they're "heavier," but the versatility and functionality justify it. My little Giant Leveler was super stable and handy, getting to ductwork in hard to reach places daily. But after a sub contractor ran it over with a skylift, I needed a new one. Many jobsites are starting to discourage aluminum ladders, due to conductivity and safety, so I went with the fiberglass Conquest 2.0. In theory, it's a great design. And after watching all the videos, I was exited to order it, and super surprised and disappointed when I set it up in the A-frame configuration and climbed up. It's unstable. As in, it walks, and overly flexes, and tips easily. I have zero confidence in this ladder. Its a bummer. Im on ladders all day long. I push these ladders when people ask. But after this, I'll likely never buy another.. I called Little Giant the very next day. Their input was that I should buy another outside flared portion, because the skinny side was not as stable. So they suggested I spend another almost $300 dollars to fix the stability issue of a brand new ladder I just spent almost $600 on! Now I'm stuck with a very expensive ladder that their experts should have never let out the door to industry workers who need safe dependable equipment. Shit design. Live and learn
Was it the Conquest 2.0 or the Conquest All-Terrain? Either way, that doesn't sound right to me. And that someone from Little Giant would tell you that the skinnier side was not as stable... We test our ladders past the OSHA and ANSI standards, and it doesn't make sense that the ladder would walk on you. Do you know who you talked with and when this was?
@LittleGiantLadders The ladder came off the FedEx truck the week before last. It has been sitting up against my living room wall ever since, in hopes I can sell it. As I stated, it's the Conquest 2.0, 5 rung (m-22?) (non all-terrain) Model. I work for a big company who supply quality ladders for our trucks. The Little Giant ladders I carry are my personal, because I prefer their benefits. I've owned half a dozen little giant ladders over the years. I know their attributes. I've likely spent more time actually on these ladders than you have, unless you actually spend hours a day on them like I do. This ladder is different. Maybe it's just the fiberglass. IDK. It's lame, but I actually have to go through ladder safety courses once a year. When I tell you this latter walks, I mean it shifts and moves it's feet and walks if I move around, which, is what you do when you're working on a ladder. The lady in customer service, who put me on hold to speak to "an engineer," did not directly say that the non flared side made the ladder unstable. I deducted that from her advice for me to purchase a flared side to match the other side, which would make the ladder more stable. The ladder is smooth as hell, and looks great. And it's in perfect shape. It has no defects. It's just not a confidence inspiring ladder. That's all there is to it. I have nothing to gain by knocking your product. I'm just pissed that this much money went into a ladder I don't want to use. That's all..
@bubby8637 Little Giant has a lot of great products out there. Your mileage may vary. But now I understand why the only real "reviews" I could find on this ladder are mostly marketing type reviews rather than real world reviews by end users like myself.. Not a lot of sales on these, or not a lot of satisfied customers.. Hard to say. Maybe I'll do one..
I used the Conquest 2.0 in the fully extended mode and found that there is a lot of flex in the ladder when climbing onto the highest section. Looking down from the top, there was significant curve in the ladder. Is this normal? Maybe this flex can be presented in the video to learn about the ladder's characteristics?
I purchased this ladder and ordered and am happy with the ladder it self. However I purchased it also to be able to work with trestle brackets which I ordered from a dealer. Received a note stating the part I received was the new model, lLittle Giant decided to not produce the trestle brackets hurting customers like me the little guy! Not good relationships, for Conquest and Blackhorse the upgraded model your SOL!
I'm sorry to hear about the trestle bracket experience. The Dark Horse 2.0 (green one) and the Conquest 2.0 (Green one) aren't compatible with trestle brackets, unfortunately. I do hope that in the future we have an answer for customer's like you who would like their fiberglass multi-position ladder to be split into two trestles.
The Conquest in the UK is only available in the All-Terrain style, but is available in either fiberglass, aluminum, or aluminum with the Safety Rails accessory. You can look at what is available from TB Davies: www.tbdavies.co.uk/products-category/multi-purpose-ladders/ or from ScrewFix www.screwfix.com/c/storage-ladders/combination-ladders/cat16640002?brand=little_giant
I just talked with our product team and the engineer, and the EN Conquest is a 2.0 version, it's just not called that. These were the differences from the US version: The EN Conquest uses the EN Standard for rung spacing, the EN Conquest comes with a pre-installed "tool tray top cap", and the EN Conquest comes in two aluminum versions besides the Fiberglass version.
@@semimba Do you remember the name of the ladder and what size you had? Was it a Model 17, 22, or 26? Fiberglass articulating ladders generally weigh a pound or two higher than their aluminum counterparts. That being said, if you want an aluminum articulating ladder that is lightweight, you may want to look at the Velocity 17 which only weighs 30 pounds. I appreciate the questions, let me know if you have any more.
The outriggers are independent from each other, and typically used when the ladder is in the straight/extension position (not in the A-frame position). Since they're independent you can make sure the ladder is level instead of people digging out or, worse, using boards or bricks to make their ladder level. (this is handy any time you're working on uneven terrain, like a slope or hillside)
@@LittleGiantLadders has there ever been a case of a stabiliser failing? How are they attached to the body of the ladder? It looks to me like if one o those fails, you are in trouble.
I haven't been made aware of any! The outriggers are part of a ladder that goes through the OSHA and ANSI testing that ensure it meets the Type IA 300 lbs requirement.
@@LittleGiantLadders I just received the conquest 2.0 all-terrain from ‘Ladders and Access’ in the U.K. The ladder really is well made. I’m delighted with the purchase. Thanks for your advice.
Best little Giant demo ever

This ladder is unreal!!!

Did you get the all terrain?
I agree about the quality - it really is a fantastic piece of equipment.
Stop teasing me with that 5-rung variant when only the 4-rung is available here in the UK!
This is like the Swiss Army knife of ladders... I’m gonna get me one for my business.
When are you guys going to design the 'rapid locks' so you only have to twist one for them both to unlock, or will I have to design that myself? 🙄

All I want to know is whether to get this or a dark horse. Dark horse is cheaper I spose.
Have you made a decision? They both have their benefits, and I'm curious what you ended up deciding.
@@LittleGiantLadders I guess dark horse? Because of the price. And I don't need much ladder. As long as I get an 8-10 footer out of it I'm good.
The all terrain needs all terrain feet on both halves, otherwise it’s nearly worthless outside
How much does it weigh? I had the aluminum version that I was unable to move without a lot of effort
The Conquest weighs 37.5 pounds, and the Conquest All-terrain weighs 42 pounds.
