In daily work and life, ladders are indispensable tools for climbing work, but accidents caused by ladder tilting or sliding are common. As a professional ladder supplier, Surestep is committed to providing users with safe and reliable ladder products. At the same time, we also hope that through this article, we can help everyone master the effective methods to prevent the ladder from tilting or sliding to ensure the safety of climbing work.
Different work scenarios have different requirements for ladders. For example, for simple home repairs and lamp replacement indoors, you can choose a lightweight and portable aluminum straight ladder or aluminum step ladder, which are small in size and flexible in operation; while for high-altitude construction, exterior wall painting and other operations outdoors, you need a more stable A-shaped aluminum alloy ladder or a combined telescopic aluminum alloy ladder, which can adapt to complex outdoor environments and provide more reliable support.
When choosing a ladder, you cannot ignore its quality and stability parameters. High-quality ladders are usually made of high-strength materials, such as aluminum alloy and fiberglass. Take fiberglass ladders as an example. They are not only strong and durable, but also have good insulation properties. They are very safe to use in electrical work scenarios and are one of Surestep's flagship products. At the same time, check the maximum load-bearing capacity of the ladder. According to the total weight of the actual user and the tools carried, choose a ladder with appropriate load-bearing capacity to avoid tilting or sliding due to overload.
Before using the ladder each time, carefully check its appearance and structure. Check whether the steps and handrails of the ladder are damaged or deformed, whether the ladder connection is firm, and whether the metal parts have signs of rust or corrosion. For telescopic ladders, check whether the telescopic device is smooth and the locking device is reliable. If the ladder is found to have safety hazards, it should be stopped immediately and repaired or replaced. Surestep strictly controls the quality of its products, but self-inspection by users before use is also crucial.
The support surface for the ladder must be flat, solid and dry. Avoid placing the ladder on soft ground, uneven steps, or places with accumulated water or oil. If you use a ladder on uneven ground outdoors, you can use auxiliary support tools, such as wood blocks, non-slip mats, etc., to increase the friction and stability between the bottom of the ladder and the ground. When using it indoors, make sure that there are no obstacles on the ground to provide a stable foothold for the ladder.
When using a ladder, the standing posture directly affects its stability. Both feet should stand evenly on the steps, and the center of gravity of the body should be kept in the center of the ladder, avoiding leaning to one side or leaning forward or backward too much. At the same time, face the ladder and hold the handrails with both hands to ensure that the body is balanced during movement or operation.
The angle between the ladder and the ground has a great influence on its stability. Generally speaking, the angle between the ladder and the ground should be kept at about 75°, which can be simply judged by the "one foot distance" principle: adjust the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall to one-fourth of the working length of the ladder (the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the top contact point).
In order to enhance the anti-slip performance of the ladder, you can equip the ladder with some anti-slip accessories, such as anti-slip foot pads, rubber ladder feet, etc. These accessories can increase the friction between the ladder and the ground, effectively preventing the ladder from sliding. Surestep also provides a variety of ladder accessories to help users improve the safety of use.
When conditions permit, try to fix the ladder. For example, at a construction site, you can use ropes to connect the top of the ladder to a stable structure; when using a tall ladder indoors, you can ask others to help fix the bottom to prevent the ladder from tilting.
The safety of the ladder during use cannot be ignored. Preventing the ladder from tilting or sliding requires choosing the right ladder, making good preparations before use, mastering the correct use method, and taking additional safety measures.
