Improve Your Ladder Safety With The Ladder Safety Equipment
Beside the safety
ladder itself, I strongly recommend you to have a look at the additional (facultative) ladders accessories that will
improve your ladderīs safety, therefor I personally call them the ladder safety equipment:
- as for the step ladder safety, your feet will for sure appreciate some plain
comfortable ladder steps. Using them improves your stability and comfort on the ladder;
- at least you should consider using of the so called
ladder work platform, that is just one adjustable very comfortable platform to be fastened to your ladder in variable height;
- if you plan to place the ladder on the pavement (or any potentially sliding surface) use
the rubber ladder stabilizers; - if you plan to place the ladder on the lawn or soil surface, use
the metal ladders skewers instead, to improve your extension ladder safety;
- to protect the facade of your house use
the masonry protection wheels on the upper end of the ladder;
- if you plan to place your ladder on the stairs (or any sloped surface) you should consider using of
the ladder leg leveller called also the ladder level lock (you can also buy
the ladder leveller swivel feet that offer an easy adjusting of the ladder legīs length);
- if youīll use the ladder for painting of the roof or gutters, have a look at various available
ladder caddies or tool pouches; - if your ladder is taller than the height of the wall (it extends over the gutter) you should prevent the gutter from damaging with various
ladder stand-offs; And (it doesnīt concern only the works on the ladders but any works in heights) do not underestimate any protection that improves your safety � like protection helmet, roof safety kit, climbing/rigging kit, etc as one never knows...
