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

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.

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.

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.

This product is lightweight. It weighs about 5 lbs and is very easy to put it on the ladder without any tools. Since it needs pull out extension ladder 3 lungs so it makes a little bit harder to raise the ladder. I guess this also depends on what kind of ladder you are going to put it on. I put it on a 32' ladder and I'm 62. However, I'm still able to raise my ladder without any help. It makes much easier and safer to get on/off roof. It's a bit pricy but worth the money. I really like 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!

I was looking for safety and it provided it. Felt more comfortable going on the roof, and even safer coming down.The unit is big and does not fold small, so storage is an issue. It will spend more time in the garage than on a ladder, so they need to come up with a design that allows it to fold better.Finally, it’s expensive. I know you can’t put a price on safety. Still, I feel it is overpriced.

Doesn’t work.Makes the ladder more dangerous as this is another moving piece.

I no longer have a fear of those last couple steps when getting onto my roof. I got this system a couple days ago, installed onto my ladder in minutes and presto, it just works. Bypasses my gutters, and softly sits on my roof. The extended rails keep you from losing your balance and help you to feel safe. They also make it a snap getting back onto the ladder. I'm just extremely happy with this product. Well done!
