If you want to ensure maximum health and safety in the workplace, it’s a good idea to invest in product-specific accessories.

From stabilisers to theft-deterrents, we’re showcasing our favourite ladder accessories in today’s blog.
Ladder Clamps
Best for: Busy tradesmen on the go
When you’re working with access equipment, it’s important to consider all the safety risks. While you may be tempted to cut corners, especially if you don’t have the right kit, it’s not worth the risk.
Our ladder clamps are designed to secure your ladder to vehicle roof racks, preventing them from falling from your vehicle while you drive. While you may currently rely on a makeshift solution, ladder clamps are the only accessory to ensure safety and are designed purely for this purpose.
Features include:
- Strong, resilient material
- Locking bar end stops
- Long weighted spinner handle for quick and easy use

If you’re painting the exterior of a property or carrying out general maintenance on your home, you’ve probably experienced the difficulties associated with leaning against your work surface.

Ladder Guard
Best for: Securing ladders when left outdoors, for example, on construction sites
If you’re working on a public site, there’s always a risk that your ladder will be stolen or fall into the wrong hands. If an untrained person uses your ladder, they’re putting themselves at risk.
Our Ladder Guard help you to control this issue by limiting access to your ladder. Site workers can limit access to their products and keep their equipment, staff, and the public safe by restricting access.

- Durable, rust-free aluminium construction
- Easy to set up and transport
- Compatible with padlock key or combination lock, depending on your requirements
- Multiple sizes available to suit all ladders

Looking for a product to keep your ladder safe overnight? If you’re working on a job over a number of days and have nowhere safe to store your ladder, universal ladder brackets may hold the solution.
Our ladder brackets prevent theft thanks to their lockable, security system. The product also comes with fixing screws and rawl plugs.
