If you use or plan to use Metallic ladders on the job, the ladder helmet it a great new tool on the market. When using ladders on the job you typically will want a cover for the top piece of the ladder that comes in contact with on the job. This protects the surfaces the ladder comes in contact with and makes you less liable for damage. In the past the market has mostly had simple fabric ladder bonnets, until the ladder helmet was introduced.
The ladder helmet is a more rugged, durable option for the top of your stackable ladder! One thing we love at Detroit Sponge is seeing innovative tools come on the market. Like the ladder helmet, these problem solving tools are best when they come from window cleaners. Window cleaners see first hand the issues and need for a change in design while on the job.
This tool was designed by a window cleaner for the use with the Metallic Ladder see groove top section. He was tired of other ladder covers wearing out too quickly. Unlike the fabric covers, these are made from a custom easy to clean rubber compound that protects your client’s interior. Meant for use on drywall, brick, stone, wood, plaster, and more. Be cautious about moving it along surfaces, they are meant to be places and not dragged. The composition is scratch resistant against exterior brick as well as resistant to heat, cold and UV. Made to be used indoors and outdoors.
The ladder helmet is a long lasting upgrade from what you are currently using. Great for protecting surface not only on the job but also in transportation. The rubber ladder helmet includes straps to make sure it remains securely attached to the ladder section. No need to take the cover on and off between jobs.
