Do these exist does anyone know?

Like, ones you can slide down & "click" into place when needed, then retracted & "clicked" up when not needed.

If not I think there would be a huge market for some.

i bought mine from ebay ,HAILO , when they arrived the design of them was slightly different from the ebay foto ,but basically work just as in the foto/////// but DEFO  the best few quid i ever spent . i find its best to set them only a 1/2 inch below the rubber feet .

 they give great grip , yesterday i put my ladder on imprinted concrete which was so slippy to walk on and  the spikes  give great confidence  and so cheap too


cant remember which ebayer i bought mine off though!

jonny, I take it you can move them up via the wingnut?  Can you still close double ladder fully when they are fitted?

[jonnyald]

no you cant close the ladder up fully once theyre on , but your only talking about 8 inches or so .

 yes,you just slacken the wing nut and either slide them up or slide them right off the bottom .  mine came with a diffrent design of the clamp and had a threaded bit  of rod which accomodated every size of ladder .i found i didnt need the rod as long as it was and i just trimmed it down with a hacksaw . the spikes are galvanised steel,quite heavy but after a day i never noticed the extra weight .

 i leave my spikes on always , the only time i took them off was a few weeks ago when i had to take ladder inside a house and the spikes would have messed up the carpet . just slackened the wing nut and slid them off

 its important Not to fit them too low down ,unless your using them on a lawn or really soft ground .

Thanks for that
