CHECK your ladder feet now !
« on: September 10, 2010, 01:13:23 pm »
Maybe everyone does this I dont know but finished my last job midday today (very busy week so gave myself an early finish) and happened to look at the rubber feet on my Titan ladder as was loading it into van ... the yellow rubber feet were mashed up and worn away like a baldy treadless tyre  :o

Just been onto window cleaning warehouse and ordered some replacement feet oh and a ladder mat/leveller whilst I was at it.

The replacement black feet are harder rubber so last longer but need a few days to roughen up apparently.

Have swapped the top feet over with the bottom feet for now though till the new ones arrive.

Small thing but very important !

I had mine delivered with spikes. I would never go back to rubber feet. Too dangerous.
