Little GiantLadder Systems 11813 8-13 ft Telescoping Plank, 8' -13', Gray

This is a very sturdy well built tool. Telescoping design fits good in my pick up truck, and extends for work.Good price.

Strong and solid

Solid board that doesn't flex much. Feels stable up high. As well, the hooks are a nice touch.

I have plenty of wood staging planks, but they are HEAVY! I bought this plank to stage a very steep roof (essentially a wall!) that I would be shingling from a pair of ladders and a plank. I was doing this job alone, so I wanted a plank that would be easier to handle by myself, given that I would be making frequent adjustments as I shingled up the roof. Initially, I balked at the price, but this plank was worth every penny. It is adjustable in length, which makes it versatile. It is wider than a wood plank, which makes it more secure and comfortable. Have you ever walked from one end to the other of a wood plank with a twist in it? When it shifts under your feet, it really wakes you up! Better than coffee! None of that nonsense with this plank. It is dead flat. And it is so much lighter than wood, which makes it so much easier to handle, even by yourself.

I have owned every Little Giant / wing product since the 1980’s when they were direct to contractors . I own multiples of every generation ladder . This plank is solid . Carries two 200 lb men no problem . Cons - perhaps only one slight one . It would have been nice if like the Werner it locked in one foot increments so that it would instill more confidence while on ladder brackets instead of inside the rungs of the ladder . Or if it just locked in the fullyClosed position so it stayed at 8 foot when pulling it out of your truck . But that’s a small issue considering the Werner is only a 250lb capacity compared to the 500 of this one . Also a side note : mine came with no paperwork for instructions or warranty and I can’t find a serial number stamped on the plank or the decals . Perhaps that’s the way it is . All said and done …. This is still the best available .

Used this plank with the little giant ladder/stepladders. Worked very well, made painting much easier. made it much easier to paint on the hillside, and painting the soffit very easy without moving your ladders all the time.

Lighter than using a 2x10x16

This was mounted on two opposing ladders at a height of about ten feet. It was extended to about 11 feet. It was rock solid while installing steel roofing. Excellent platform. It is a little heavy but pays for that with its strength and rigidity. Easily manipulated by one person. Outstanding product.
