How do I repair my broken ladder?

We do not advise fixing a damaged ladder for your own safety. BPS Access Solutions has the ladder you need if yours is beginning to show symptoms of wear and tear and you feel it is no longer safe to use.

How should I prepare my ladder for use?

It's usually a good idea to examine your ladder before using it. Here are a few important things to look for:

-keeping an eye out for broken or missing parts

-Look for any missing or loose rivets or bolts.

-Examine your ladder feet for signs of extreme wear.

-Verify that the ropes are firmly fastened and that they are not fraying.

-Verify that the ladder's stiles, rungs, and treads are straight.

-Verify the spreaders' condition.

-Keep an eye out for rust, water, oil, and dust on your ladder.

-Before used, properly clean the ladder with mild -soapy water and let it dry.

-After using your ladder, store it somewhere dry and covered.

-On wooden ladders, keep an eye out for splits, decay, and insect infestation.

How can I carry my ladder around securely?

The following safety measures should be followed when moving ladders in cars.

-To keep the ladder from hanging down, make sure it is supported the entire length of the ladder.

-Make sure the overhang beyond the supports is equal to or less than one-third the ladder's total length.

-Tie the ladder down firmly to avoid chafing and road shock, but take care not to overtighten as this could harm the ladder.

-To lessen road shock, cover the upper surface of the roof racks or supports with a supple material, such as rubber or wood.
