Reach is not the same as ladder length. Maximum reach indicates the approximate height that a standing person can reach when the ladder is used correctly. Therefore, it is greater than the ladder’s working length.

Reach is not the height you can climb to.

Maximum reach is the approximate height a standing person can reach—it is calculated as the height of the top step plus approximately 198 cm, which is roughly the height of an adult standing at 175 cm with an outstretched arm.*

Therefore, the reach is always greater than both the standing height and the height of the structure itself. Your actual reachable height depends on your stature.

* This is the manufacturer’s calculation, not a value specified by the EN 131 standard—which does not address user height. Most other brands use the same method of calculation.

When an aluminum ladder isn't the right choice

Dark Horse side rails are made of non-conductive fiberglass. The ladder is therefore designed for electrical installations, servicing technical equipment, facility maintenance, and other work where the conductivity of an aluminum structure may be undesirable.

Non-conductive side rails do not replace safety procedures or protective equipment required for working on electrical equipment.

The fiberglass construction is heavier than that of a comparable aluminum ladder. The smaller Dark Horse M13 weighs 15.9 kg, while the larger M22 weighs 25.4 kg.

Why is the Dark Horse black?

The black side panels are made of fiberglass, not aluminum. This color scheme sets the Dark Horse apart from the aluminum Little Giant models at first glance, and when combined with the aluminum crossbars, it gives it its distinctive look.

One ladder for six different work situations

  • stepladder
  • extendable ladder
  • leaning ladder
  • stair ladder
  • ladder at a 90° angle
  • work scaffold base with additional accessories

How to Choose the Right Option

M13 for service, interiors, and easier handling

The Dark Horse M13 is more compact and, weighing 15.9 kg, is easier to carry between work sites. As an extension ladder, it offers a reach of up to 4.36 m and measures only 109 cm in height when folded.

It is particularly suitable for:

  • indoor maintenance and electrical work,
  • single-family homes and small businesses,
  • work above staircases,
  • installing lighting and technical equipment,
  • frequent transport in a service vehicle.

M22 for high reach and larger structures

The Dark Horse M22 is an extension ladder with a reach of up to 6.73 m. It is suitable for taller halls, facades, roofs, and technical equipment located at greater heights.

The integrated Tip & Glide™ wheels help manage the ladder’s weight of 25.4 kg during transport. When folded, the ladder is 170 cm tall and only 25 cm deep.

It is particularly suitable for:

  • industrial and warehouse facilities,
  • facade and gutter maintenance,
  • installations in high-ceilinged interiors,
  • commercial property management,
  • lighting and equipment maintenance at height.

You can easily adjust the height and change how you use it

Rock Lock™ latches allow you to quickly extend or retract the telescoping sections. 

Large, easy-to-grip buttons at the main joint allow you to adjust the ladder between the storage position, stepladder position, and extension configuration.

Wide, stable base for greater stability

The extended base increases the contact area and improves stability during lateral movement. Non-slip feet keep the ladder firmly in place and leave no marks on standard floor surfaces.

Tip & Glide transport wheels are included with the M22 model. After folding the ladder onto its wheels, you can roll it between work sites without having to carry its full weight.The smaller M13 does not have transport wheels.

Closer to the wall and safe on the stairs

In the 90° position, you can get right up against a wall or obstacle. Each side of the ladder can be adjusted to a different length, so you can set it up straight even on a staircase.


Wide base: for a sense of security, with a solid base that increases the stability of the lateral center of gravity.

Non-conductive fiberglass: the ladder is made of fiberglass with a weight capacity of up to 150 kg.

Rock Lock® locks: Cast aluminum locks for easy adjustment of the ladder’s length.

Metal palm buttons: Improved full-palm control makes it easy to switch to other ladder configurations.

Tip & Glide™ wheels: Foldthe ladder onto its wheels and roll it wherever you need it.
