A conventional extension ladder is a marvelous tool, but it was not designed to set up on something round – especially something as small as a utility pole. Unfortunately, workers in the utility and cable industries are forced to set their ladders up against poles daily. It’s a dangerous situation that can easily result in a “kickout”. Use the longer straps for securing the mid-section of the ladder and the smaller straps to secure the top. The LeveLok Ladder Safety Strap consists of a long, durable polyester strap with easy-to-use snap rings and cam buckles. The swivel buckle clips to a solid D-ring, enabling a quick and easy way to secure the strap to any ladder without damaging the rail. Only the soft webbing meets the rails. The strap is wrapped one full turn around the pole and both sides are snugged down, stabilizing the ladder. With the LeveLok Ladder Safety Strap properly installed, side rail movement is limited to a maximum of 3 inches. And it takes less than a minute to set up! (Mesh storage bag sold separately).
