    Stabilizers with Quick Release

    Keep your distance and your balance—these stabilizers hold your ladder away from walls, so you have more room to work. Because their contact points are wider than your ladder’s, they distribute weight more evenly to prevent sideways tipping. These stabilizers also span windows and other fragile surfaces, so you can work in front of them without causing damage. Protective tips help prevent scuffs and scrapes. Use them on flat surfaces.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
    Adjustable—Adjustable stabilizers allow you to change the distance between your ladder and the supporting surface in 2" increments.
    Quick Release—Quick-release stabilizers don’t require tools. They attach to your ladder with a spring-loaded locking latch, so you can install them faster than those that use U-bolts.

    Arm, and Swivel Shoe

    Keep your ladder level even when the surface isn’t. These levelers adjust one side of your ladder by up to 10". A foot lock allows for hands-free operation. They work with most Type 1, 1A, and 1AA fiberglass and aluminum extension, straight, and step ladders.
    Note: Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
    Stabilizing Arm—Levelers with a stabilizing arm help prevent side tipping, especially when you’re working on slopes. The arm folds out to widen the stance of your ladder by about 16".

    Ladder Cages

    Image of System. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Ladder Cages.
    Feel secure on tall ladders. These cages surround the ladder to help reduce the risk of falls. Made of powder-coated steel, they resist rust, so you can use them outdoors. Each section is fully welded and mounts to the side rails of stationary ladders. They don’t mount to walls or other cages. For a complete assembly, you’ll need at least one middle/top section and one bottom section.
    Bottom Sections—Bottom sections are flared to give you room to enter or exit your cage.
    Middle/Top Sections—Middle/top sections make your cage longer. They can also act as a top section when your ladder system includes a hatch.
    Walk-Through Sections—Walk-through sections are required when you can step through the top of your ladder onto a landing. They should extend 42" above the top rung.
    Yellow—Yellow cages stand out in busy areas.
    Specifications Met—Note: Ladder cages meet OSHA and Cal/OSHA dimensional and construction standards. Check local, state, and federal codes, including OSHA, for safe set up and operating practices.
