Our take on the Little Giant Dark Horse 2.0 Model 17 Fiberglass Articulated Extendable Ladder

The Little Giant Dark Horse 2.0 Model 17 is a fiberglass articulated multi-position ladder that converts between an A-frame stepladder, an extension ladder and a scaffold base. Fiberglass construction makes it non-conductive, which matters for anyone working near wiring, and the built-in wheels help one person move its roughly 15.5 ft reach around a jobsite. It is a heavy-duty ladder aimed at trades rather than occasional household use, so compare its price against other fiberglass multi-position ladders in the same duty class before buying.

Best forElectricians and anyone working near live wiringContractors who need one ladder for steps, extension and scaffold workOwners who move a ladder around a jobsite aloneTall indoor and outdoor jobs that a standard stepladder cannot reach
Pros
  • Fiberglass rails are non-conductive, unlike aluminum

  • Little Giant's multi-position design is well established and widely supported
Cons
  • Fiberglass and the hinge hardware make it heavy to carry and set up
  • Costs considerably more than a comparable aluminum ladder
  • Bulky when folded, so storage and transport need space
  • More joints and moving parts than a fixed ladder, so more to check and maintain

Questions and answers

Is this ladder safe to use near electrical wiring?
Yes. The fiberglass rails are non-conductive, which is the main reason to choose this over an aluminum ladder for electrical work. Keep in mind that any metal hinges, rungs or accessories are not insulated.
How tall is it and what can it reach?
It is listed at 15.5 ft, and in extension configuration that gives working reach well above a standard stepladder. Actual reach depends on the configuration and your safe standing height, so follow the duty rating and the manual.
How heavy is it to move?
Fiberglass multi-position ladders in this size class are heavy, typically well over 50 lb. The built-in wheels help once it is tipped, but lifting it onto a truck or up stairs is a two-person job for many owners.
What configurations does it convert to?
It works as an A-frame stepladder, an extension ladder and a scaffold base, which is the point of the articulated hinge design. Check the manual for the approved configurations and load limits before using it in scaffold mode.
Is fiberglass worth the extra cost over aluminum?
If you work near live circuits, yes. If you only need occasional household reach, an aluminum ladder is lighter and cheaper and may be enough.
What comes in the box?
The ladder itself is the main item; check the listing for any included stabilizer, work platform or carry strap, since bundles vary by seller.
