Thank you for purchasing the Little Giant Cage™. The Cage is built with the same quality
construction you’ve grown to trust from Little Giant Ladder Systems, with increased safety features
including a wide base, extra deep rungs, and a fully enclosed platform. The adjustable Cage gives
you the flexibility to tackle a wide range of projects.
To make the most of your new Cage, please read the instructions. You will learn how to safely adjust
and use your Cage in its different sizes and positions.
The Little Giant Cage is an Aerial Safety
Cage made up of three major components:
one inner assembly and two outer assem-
blies that telescope over the inner section.
The inner and outer assemblies work
together with the Rock Locks to adjust the
Cage into different heights and positions.

Cage Operating Safety Tips
1. Make sure you support the inner
assembly with one hand while releasing
the Rock Locks. Failure to do so may
result in injury.
2. Make sure each of the four Rock Locks
are fully engaged in the appropriate rung
tube before climbing the Cage.
3. Keep your hands and loose clothing
away from the moving parts of the Cage.
4. To avoid pinching, place your hands on
the platform or the upper inner rails when
telescoping your Cage up or down.
5. Warning: Metal conducts electricity. Do
not let climbing equipment of any
material come in contact with live
electrical circuits.
6. Keep all Cage rungs, feet, work steps,
and other standing and gripping surfaces
clean and free from foreign materials.
7. The Cage meets or exceeds ANSI Type
IAA duty rating of 375 lbs. For your
safety, do not exceed the weight limit.
8. Do not use the Cage without outer flared
sections attached.
General Safety Tips
1. Select the correct Cage for your job—one
that is both rated for your weight and
designed for the appropriate height and
type of work you’re doing.
2. Do a basic safety check before you get on
any Cage. Look it over and make sure that
rivets and welds are tight and in good
condition, that the rails are in place, and
that the Cage doesn’t wobble unsafely.
Check the feet of the Cage to make sure
there’s no build up of dirt, oil, or other
material that would affect their grip or
create an uneven surface.
3. Face forward and climb one rung at a time
while going up or down the Cage.
4. Do not stand or sit on the Cage hand rail or
above the platform.
5. When on the Cage, don’t lean or reach too
far to one side. A good rule of thumb is to
always keep your belt buckle between the
side rails. It’s better to be safe and come
down from the Cage and move it closer to
your desired work area than to reach out
too far.
