The Ladder Step is an individual work platform that takes the discomfort out of working
on a ladder.
Ladder Roof Rack Clamps are the safest and easiest way to transport your ladders
on your vehicle roof rack.
The Ankalad Ladder Stabiliser secures your ladder and also turns your ladder into a free standing structure
which is ideal for cutting hedges.
The LSD Stand Off has a couple of advantages over traditional stand offs as it can be
used over downpipes, on corners and it has wheels as well.
Hunter Ladders
The entire range of HUNTER Ladders is the only range of ladders which
are manufactured to the high specification demanded by the British
Standard BS EN131 and are fully compliant with the Health and Safety
Executive’s demanding HSE OC200/30 stability standards.
RESEARCH AND
TESTING
In 2000 the HSE commissioned Loughborough University to undertake
detailed research into portable ladders and how they are used and how
they fail. The result of their research, published in 2004, is available
on the HSE Website http://www.hse.gov.uk/, document RR205. Their research
led them to identify four potential failure modes
Base Slip
Loss of top contact
Top side slip
Flip
They also identified the Applied Load Point (ALP) and a Standard
Load Vector (SLV – the direction in which load should be applied)
and the actual loads required to simulate a ladder user approaching the
point of “misuse”. They then produced a Workshop Test Procedure and
a series of tests using the ALP and the SLV and the different loads
needed to identify if a Device Augmented Ladder (DAL) passed these
tests, in which case the ladder was deemed to be “effective”, and
fit for use. For a ladder to be deemed “effective” it had to remain
standing when subjected to all these tests. This is clearly defined
in the WAHR 2005.
DEVELOPMENT
In order to better understand the Loughborough Workshop Test proposals
Ladder Safety Devices constructed a nine metre high test rig (right)
and carried out extensive empirical tests on various prototypes and
was able to develop a system which does indeed prevent failure in all
four of the modes identified by the Loughborough report and thus complies
with the requirements of the HSE as detailed in the HSE Operational
Circular OC200/30 issued on 4/11/05.
The result of that development is the range of
HUNTER Ladders which is unique in being the only range of ladders
which are manufactured to the high specification demanded by the British
Standard BS EN131 and at the same time comply with the Health and
Safety Executive’s equally demanding standards regarding stability,
as defined in HSE OC200/30.
LEVELLER
Every HUNTER Ladder is fitted with
an integral leveller in both of its
stiles, each one capable of providing an adjustment of 125mm (5”)
in increments of 3mm (1/8”).
This will enable the ladder to be set up on a slope of 16 degrees
– the steepest slope permitted by the HSE.
Adjustment is achieved very quickly by positioning the ladder, removing
one of the locking pins, allowing the ladder to level itself, replacing
the pin in the nearest visible hole (which is never more than 1.5mm
(1/16”) away) and turning the pin to lock it.
BASE SLIP
The adjustable leveller sections have moulded
feet which are made of specially formulated rubber designed to provide
a very high level of grip on any substrate giving a level of resistance
to base slip which complies with the HSE requirements and far exceeds
that provided by standard ladder feet.
RESISTANCE
TO SIDE SLIP AND FLIP
Every HUNTER Ladder has on each
side a one
metre long stabilising bar which is clamped on below the bottom rung
and hinges down to the ground. A telescopic strut which is attached
at each arms centre point has 30 possible locking positions in increments
of 12mm, to cater for uneven ground. These arms provide excellent lateral
stability and complete resistance to “flip”.
TOP SIDE
SLIP
At the top of every HUNTER Ladder is a pair of
wheels which are clamped to the ladder stiles. The rubber used in
the “tyres” is of a special formulation which provides excellent grip
on any substrate and gives excellent resistance to Top Side Slip.
These wheels are also invaluable when running a ladder up a wall.

The Hunter Retrofit Stabilising System
A similar degree of stability and safety can be added to your existing
ladders by fitting the HUNTER Stabilising System.
This kit consists of the same wheels that are
fitted to all HUNTER Ladders, the same stabilising arms but with a
clamp for the top mounting instead of a bolted fixing, plus a pair
of levellers which slide over the stile rather than being inside the
stile.
The degree of stability is the same as in all
HUNTER Ladders. The end product is equally user-friendly.
Fitting requires no drilling
Two kits are available, one with wheels, arms
and levellers and one with wheels, arms and feet fitted with slip
resistant rubber.
Only spanners are needed and these are supplied with every kit.

The LSD Ladder Staging System is designed to provide a safe, secure high level work platform (up to 7.5 metres high). It complies with
all the relevant British Standards and will fit onto (and should only be used with) any BS EN131 trade quality ladder.
The equipment consists of a handed pair of support brackets that mount onto your ladder and are attached two rungs apart. Each support
bracket has a telescopic strut, which enables the support arm to be made horizontal very quickly and locked into position.
There are four corner posts that are rapidly locked into place on the staging brackets using captive thumbscrews. The corner posts are
fitted with U bolts and L bolts to accept the handrails and toe boards. Finally the Staging Board is mounted across the support brackets
and locked into place using the captive L bolts.
The 4 metre and 5 metre boards need a Mid Board Post to support the hand rails.
To make life easier for our customers, we offer for sale complete kits of parts to erect a 2, 3, 4, or 5 metre staging system. These
kits include brackets, posts, handrails toe boards and staging boards.
It is recommended that the ANKALAD Ladder Stabiliser is used with all Staging Systems and these
are available separately.
Ladders are not included.

The WorkMaster range of platform ladders has been designed to work effectively and safely for those who need
high access in the workplace, or in the garden and around the home. The platform itself is very stable and is made of "Rhinoboard"
which is extremely durable and has a non-slip surface.
Each of the three models has four legs, which are individually adjustable over a range of 600mm in increments of 2mm, which allows it to cope easily with uneven ground. Each leg has a 130mm articulated foot which spreads the load and prevents it from sinking into soft ground.
The rungs are grooved to provide a non-slip surface and the position of the bottom "floating" rung is adjustable to take into account the required height of the platform.
Each WorkMaster is supplied fully assembled and folds flat for storage.
The WorkMaster range of ladders are built to a very high standard, using aluminium which makes
them very strong yet also very light and easy to move around.
They will not rust or corrode and need no maintenance.
The WorkMaster comes fully assembled and folds flat for storage
and transport. The Height Extending Section which is available for each model, is easily assembled and requires
no tools.

Working for long periods on a ladder leads to aching
painful feet and in many cases can cause
permanent foot arch damage.
The Step fits
ladders with a tread rise of between 250mm and 300mm in increments of
12mm. It's constructed from lightweight aluminium and features a secure
checker plate pattern to stand on.
With body weight
correctly positioned on the Step less strain is placed on the legs and
lower back, retaining balance. This in turn reduces fatigue and stress,
allowing the use of both hands to operate equipment safely.
These ladder roof rack clamps can be used with
any ladder and are a quick and very secure way of holding your ladders in
place while in transit on your roof rack. They have unique hook-shaped ends
for increased security. They are manufactured using aluminium and stainless
steel to make them light, durable and corrosion free. No other clamps use
stainless steel hooks, most use the more inferior zinc plated steel. With
one set of clamps you can secure up to two three section ladders in place
on your roof rack.
These clamps are the best quality and
best design available at the best price!
Stainless Steel retaining hooks long enough for 2 x 3 section ladders
Hooked ends for increased security
Fantastic value and will last for years
Corrosion free
Easy and fast to use
Lockable with padlocks (one heavy duty padlock supplied)
An Ankalad Ladder Stabiliser
secures a ladder in much the same way as stabilisers secure
a child's first bike.
Correctly positioned it's impossible for the ladder
to slide down the wall or slide over sideways due to over-reaching - which
is the real killer and cause of 9 out of 10 accidents.
Ankalad
weighs just 3.6kg (8lbs) and is built to a high quality using
the finest materials, namely annodised aluminium, zinc plated
steel, brass, stainless steel and nylon mouldings.
Fits any wooden or aluminium ladder of 1, 2 or 3 sections
Very high quality
Extremely strong, yet very light
Provides a safe reach of up to 26ft against a solid structure and up to 14ft free standing
Folds away flat when not in use
Adjustable telescopic legs with easy find locking buttons to cater for un-even ground
Totally eliminates ladder 'bounce'
Makes extending your ladder much easier
Will TOTALLY stop your ladder from sliding down a wall or toppling sideways
A stabilised ladder is ideal for free standing use, which means
that you can use your ladder just like a stepladder. The difference
is that where a conventional stepladder is not safe on the uneven ground
found in the garden, a stabilised ladder is perfectly suited to these
conditions.
The wide base and huge range of adjustment,
allows it to be used in safety on all types of terrain. Used this
way it is possible to achieve a stable reach of up to 14 ft by standing
at the point where the top mounting bracket meets the ladder (approximately
8 ft up the ladder).
This makes it a perfect tool for hedge cutting
and tree prunning.
Four pairs
of aircraft grade aluminium telescopic struts are connected, two each
side. They can be pulled out from the stored position to form a triangle
to each side of the ladder.
Each strut is adjustable in length by use of the easily
operated locking buttons. The vertical struts give 15" of movement
and the horizontal struts give 12".
Each strut can be adjusted independently, so allowing
for use on uneven ground. Once fitted it takes about 30 seconds to
put into position and can be put away even quicker, lying flat against
the side of the ladder when not in use.
With the ladder against a solid structure, the Ankalad
will give protection up to a safe reach of 26 feet.
Ankalad weighs just 3.6kg (8lbs) and is built to a
quality - not down to a price - using the finest materials, namely
anodised aluminium, zinc plated steel, brass, stainless steel and
nylon mouldings.
