Ladder Safety Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

A. In terms of stopping a ladder slipping outwards, the height is not material as it works on angles not height alone. However, due note should be taken of what the experts say. The higher the ladder, by definition the more unstable it will be, especially as regards sideways movement. On the second point, in normal circumstances, LadderMate takes very little strain as it is not supporting the ladder, it is merely stabilising it. It would only take strain if the ladder slipped... but it cannot because of LadderMate.
