  • Publication number: 20160053539
    Abstract: A ladder stabilizer having a base plate that engages with a lower portion of the ladder and having a tire receiving portion at an end portion of the base plate. The weight of a vehicle tire on the tire receiving portion provides increased stability to the base plate of the ladder stabilizer. The tire receiving portion can be moved to either side of the base plate and can have a base plate-engaging mechanism on its bottom surface to couple with a mating surface of the base plate. The ladder can be retained by a leg retainer, rung retainer, or other retaining member that is coupled to a ladder retainer attachment portion of the base plate. Preferably, the ladder retainer mechanism includes some type of fastener or tensioning mechanism to secure the lower portion of the ladder to the base plate.

  • Publication number: 20140339016
    Abstract: A slip-on eave brace and a system incorporating the same for providing fall arrest on a sloped roof is disclosed. The slip-on eave brace has a soffit load distributing member, a vertical member coupled to the soffit load distributing member at one end portion thereof, and a sloped roof engaging member coupled to an opposite end portion of the vertical member. A safety line attachment member is fixed to an opposite end portion of sloped roof engaging member to the coupling with the vertical member. In a fall arrest event, fall forces are transferred via the safety line into the slip-on eave brace and into the eave of a sloped roof. A sloped roof fall arrest system can use one or more slip-on cave braces to provide fall protection to one or more workers on a sloped roof.
