scissor stairs

Hi Jefe,

you are certainly right... where I live, the main issue is rain/corrosion, I guess. But the steps went from barely useable to like new with the generous application of a lubricant.

The name is indeed Joerg (actually Jörg with an umlaut), which is a germanized version of George. I'll answer to both ;-)

Dry chain lube would work better for your steps.

Georg, or is it joerg,
I've tried that solution, but with as much silt and fine dust we have in the South West U.S., I would have to lube them up every time you got on a dirt road. WD40 made by mistake as a Water Dispersant turns to mud very quickly, at least for me.

I think on uneven ground they would give a much stabler stair as well as level the stairs better. Does anyone have the new feet on their stairs? Do you like them?

The Little Jumbo is more stairs than ladder. I don't see why dogs couldn't climb it. The treads are 9" apart vertically and are as deep as scissor steps (maybe a little narrower).

These are my Torklift GlowSteps with the LandingGear feet, SafeSteps stair backings and GlowGuide handrail:

Answered above. You do need to open the link, though.

wnjj and tonymull - do you know what the height off the ground the top step is of your Little Giant Safety Step step ladder ? On the 3 step unit the spec's say 44" and on the 4 step unit the spec is 56" The spec says this is the stepladder height, so is that the height off the ground to the top step ? Also I am assuming that you both fold down the safety bar. Thanks for your response.

I just measured our 3 step one. The top step is about 26". The first and second ones are about 9" and 17". With the safety bar folded up, the tray is about 50". I'm not sure where those other numbers come from. If you got them from Amazon, that would be the folded length, probably including the box. They fold by simply lifting up on the tread so they are as long as the front frame plus half of the top tread.

The 3 step works perfect behind our camper which has a step bumper. My brother used a 4 step with his bumper-less 8' camper. It's safe to assume the top step of the 4 step model is about 35".

Re. Glowsteps very hard to extend/collapse: greasing the bolts with WD40 or a similar product works wonders. Don't ask me how I know...

One drop on each joint, once or twice per season, makes them easy to work with.
