If your job involves working at height, then using a ladder is most likely part of your everyday work. But, to stay safe and get the most out of this piece of equipment, investing in ladder accessories is a great idea to enhance your kit.
Here are six of the top accessories that you need.
Ladder wall bracket
If you’re worried about your ladder being stolen, ladder brackets are the ideal solution. The bracket is secured to the wall allowing the ladder to slot into place within the bracket so it sits flush against the wall. A lock can then be used to close the bracket so the ladder cannot be lifted out or moved.
Suction feet
Unstable ladders can be extremely dangerous at work. To avoid this, suction cups can be added to the feet of the ladder so when it is in the upright position it stays firmly in one place.
Ladder stopper
The ladder stopper is a popular ladder accessory for a number of reasons. The T shaped design is used to spread the weight of the ladder and user over a larger space to prevent it from slipping outwards and flipping. It’s available in various sizes to suit your specific ladder plus it’s compact enough to keep in your toolkit or van.
Roof rack clamp
You’re going to have a hard time travelling with your ladder if you don’t have a roof clamp. As a tradesman, this could perhaps be one of the most important accessories to invest in as it makes your day to day life much easier. With a strong and durable clamp, you can secure your ladder on top of your van in a matter of seconds or keep it there overnight with the addition of security padlocks.
Ladderlimb
Need help carrying tools while on your ladder? The ladderlimb slots into the holes along the edge of your ladder so it’s accessible at any height. At the end of the pole, a metal clip can be used to hand cans of paint, tools or anything else you may need while at height so you don’t have to balance items in your hands or take several journeys up and down the ladder.
