The ladder has been used by society for millennia, with one of its earliest appearances being on a rock painting in Spain that has been dated to be at least 10,000 years old. That ladder was possibly made from grass, but nowadays we have evolved into using more robust materials such as metal, wood, plastic or fibreglass. While a standard ladder can be used for many purposes, utilising ladder accessories can open up more applications and increase safety.
So read on for a guide to ladder accessories from the access solution experts at Top Tower.
Laddermat
Ladders can be used virtually anywhere, but that doesn't mean they are always safe. Sloping or uneven ground could lead to the ladder collapsing under you while you are climbing it, causing serious injury. A laddermat is ideal for these situations, made from heavy-duty rubber matting that will keep the ladder from sliding away or falling. It can be used on uneven, sloping or smooth surfaces. If you are operating on soft ground, it also stops heavy ladders from sinking into the ground.
LadderLimb
A LadderLimb is a great tool if you need somewhere to hold your paint while you’re working on a ladder. This way you don’t have to hold the tin of paint yourself, or precariously balance it on one of the ladder rungs. Its innovative design allows the LadderLimb to easily and securely fit into the hollow rungs of most modern aluminium ladders.
Roof Rack Ladder Clamp
If you’re a tradesman, the likelihood is you’ll need to transport your ladder around. If you don’t have space inside your vehicle but have a roof rack, roof rack ladder clamps are a great way to securely fix your ladder to your vehicle. They even come with padlocks, so you can leave your ladder secured to your roof without the risk of it being stolen.
Adjustable Ladder Stand-Off
If you’re looking for a way to make gutter work and window maintenance easier, an adjustable ladder stand-off is the tool for you. It is a strong device that will hold your ladder between 17-24 inches clear of the wall, allowing you easy access to gutters or any element that protrudes.
Ladder Stabiliser Bar Leveller
When working at height, you might find yourself working on sloping ground or a staircase where using a ladder may seem impossible. A great solution for this is a ladder stabiliser bar leveller. This adjustable tool can act as an extension leg, allowing you to safely use a ladder on a surface that isn't level.
