LADDERMASTER™ was tested to the most extreme case - that of a 127kg man carrying a load of 40kg
up a ladder.
Compression tests show that the LADDERMASTER™ will withstand 5 times this load without displacement to the gutter.
A full test report is available on request.
LADDERMASTER™ works by:
• Transferring the workload through to the facia board
• Restricting the sideways movement of the top
of the ladder
