The current version is a bit heavier but still lighter than the Werner I used for my 1st 15yrs of ladder carrying. The Lunar also has an extra pulley for block and tackle style lifting. The version I used was rated 350, because I'm fat and my tools were heavy. http://www.sumostanceladder.com/fibe...r-little-giant
Thanks, but that ladder is still heavier than the 32' aluminum Werner. I'm not in need of said product, I was just curious if it were feasible. I started looking around on Google and it looks like carbon ladder exist, but they are mostly for tactical applications. Here is an example, and it looks plenty strong too!


I once had a conversation with my boss about how he'd love to hire a girl or two, but most can't sling a 32' foot ladder every day. It just got me thinking about how nice a very lightweight ladder would be to use. I often have to rent 40' ladders and thankfully, every time I've done so, someone has been there to help set-up and take down. I don't know how strong you have to be to handle a 40' by yourself, but I'm not that strong.
