For telescopic ladders, you should understand the correct technique for safe setting and use of ladders. Because no matter what kind of ladder you plan to use, safety should be the first priority. Here are five tips to help you use the extension ladder safely.
When you erect an extension ladder, you need to place it at an appropriate angle before climbing the ladder. Find the right angle by resting your toes on the feet of the ladder. Then, reach out your hand and you should be able to reach the rungs of the ladder. Another method is to use calculations to determine how far the bottom of the ladder should be from the building, depending on the length of the extension ladder you use. We have completed the calculation for you, please refer to our extended ladder diagram for measurement.
In many cases, you need to fix the feet of the telescopic ladder before use. This can be done by screwing the 2×4 splint onto the deck behind the ladder. Fix the feet of the telescopic ladder to prevent it from sliding backwards when you climb.
The top of the telescopic ladder should also be properly secured. Adding a ladder stabilizer to your extension ladder will give you the extra stability you need, while securing the top of the ladder for ease of use.
You can also use the 2×4 that can be screwed into the house fascia to create a reusable anchoring device. This can be done with a 3-inch deck screw, you can include an eye screw, and use a rope to tie the top of the ladder to it. This will help secure the top of the ladder as it extends above the roof of the house.
Before setting the feet at the bottom of the ladder, you can dig a trench in the ground or use the ladder leveling attachment to make sure the ladder is level. This can make a huge difference when it comes to the safe use of telescopic ladders.
When you want to use an extension ladder, there are several tips and tricks to consider. Make sure you consider these five tips to improve safety.
