According to the HSE (Health & Safety Executive), falls from height account for almost a third of workplace injuries and cost the UK economy £60 million every year, as well as being the number one cause of workplaces deaths. The leading cause of ladder injuries and deaths are down to the ladders slipping or not being secured or anchored correctly.
What is the Ladder Locker?
Dylan Skelhorn, the creator of the Ladder Locker device, had his own serious life changing accident where he fell 33 feet from height which led to this product being developed.
The Ladder Locker ladder stabilising device prevents ladder slips (top, bottom and sideways) as well as the loss of top contact by keeping the ladder securely in place. The device itself has also gone through vigorous load testing to ensure that it won’t slip or more under load
We have been working with Dylan to help design more economical design solutions on the adjustable feet and support brackets which make up part of the device, and have also developed an agreement for us to stock, sell and distribute the product long-term on his behalf.
