Safety Rails and Standoff for Ladder Extension - Stabilizer for Fall Protection

Climbing on my roof has always been a scary proposition. Because I have very expensive aluminum rain gutters, I am limited as to where I can prop up my extension ladder. Not only does this device protect the edges of my roof by standing off a few inches but also offers better stability for a narrow climb. The retractable safety rails allow you to pass through and over the top of the ladder. This is much better than awkwardly and dangerously climbing back on sideways at the top of ladder. It's very well made and although it's not cheap, it's worth every penny if you're concerned about safety and who wouldn't be? I'm not afraid to climb on my roof anymore.

Aside from putting in a dog door in my house, this is the best thing I have purchased in a long time. I've worked in the construction and engineering industry for 20 plus years, and ladders are widow makers . Injuries and deaths are fairly common. We have had multiple injuries (some minor and some severe), and a few deaths. Surprisingly, for step ladders most falls occur from heights of 3 to 6 feet feet above the surface. People get careless, fall and hit their head on a concrete or steel surface or obstacle. They either are not wearing a hard hat (with a chin strap) or are wearing it improperly and it falls off before they hit. Even if you avoid a head injury, you're going to break some bones if its a hard surface. On extension ladders all of our accidents have been due to improper angling and set up on slick surfaces without a tie down or stablizer, and more importantly people making the transition from the ladder to a working surface (e.g., a roof). They step or on the ladder, and the ladder goes one way the person goes the other. The stabilizer and hand rails on this product are excellent and defiinitely provide a much safer and secure ladder. Set up is super easy, and they have a good video, and no tools required although I did use some pliers to tighten the wing nuts. It really makes a world of difference. Highly recommended, and a super small investment that will signficantly reduce the risk of serious injury or deaths.

This is my husband getting off the roof although I am a 68 years old woman and not crazy about heights. I was on the roof today. Shoveling snow from a long winter and I had no fear getting off that roof. It was a great feeling knowing I could do this still. I felt very safe. We are very pleased with this product.

We used this device to stabilize our ladder against the roof and hold the ladder away from our gutters so we could clean them. It is sturdy, was easy to install and worked very well. Just know that it's best to have two relatively strong people to maneuver the full ladder across the roofline as attaching this device tends to make the ladder top-heavy and a bit unwieldily.

I will simply say that everything about it is exactly what my brother and I needed to feel safe and confident to get on our roof with. We're thankful for those who designed and built it. I'm 57yr old around 155lbs and my brother is 58yr old around 270lbs. We've never had a Ladder stabilizer before. We recently tried 3 other types BUT, not knowing how they would fit until attaching them to our ladder-mostly because they were less expensive- none of them met our needs. ....So we took a chance on this one and it's perfect.

This is so much bette than swinging around a ladder. The rails curved forward helps a lot also. I might change the wing nuts for lock nuts because they have loosened up some and I leave it on all the time.It really doesn’t add much weight to the top of the ladder. Pricey but it does it says.

I have an A roof in NJ. If you flip the ladder over backward and install this the rubber feet land on the roof. Otherwise, if you do it correctly per instructions you end up crushing the gutters. This product does not provide flexibility. I cannot return it.

My roof has a steep pitch, making it challenging to confidently transition from the ladder to the roof. This ladder adapter was very easy to install, felt sturdy, and provided the extra support needed to confidently access my second story steeply sloped roof. Wish I had this a decade ago!
