hi stan i think they have gone belly up up ,but you can buy the swivel feet to fit most ladders online.

how do you go on with them when the ground is really soft and the ladder sinks right in,ive some jobs where the 1st rung is level with the ground
stan ,just flick the feet round on soft ground, whichever way
they will level thereselves

tomy,not sure what you mean ?

its the 3rd time its happened and its always the bottom rung,just been a bit lazy not replacing it as it started looking worn
Do you drop the ladder down on the bottom rung ??? (be honest)

Post by: gerard mcmanus on October 05, 2008, 01:06:40 pm: Stan on the soft ground issue, I use ladder mats, they will stop it sinking, and are good for stopping ur ladder slipping on tiled floors[inside of closes ect].
