The Queen prevents the King from escaping to the 7th rank and both files are completely covered by White. Ensures that users erect the ladder at approximately the recommended angle. This will vary slightly depending on the configuration of the ladder. In 2001 David Farnworth identified a need for an easy, adjustable and cost-effective ladder levelling safety device. After successfully designing a prototype and establishing the all important patents, design specifications and IP rights, Laddermat was born. Its wide industrial and commercial appeal lies in its simplicity. Laddermate is a cost-effective way to brace ladders, it takes under five seconds to fit to any ladder, and significantly improves stability and safety. It also prevents ladder feet from slipping and keeps the angle of lean at the optimum level for business risk management.ALL Ladders Extension Ladders Combination Ladders Telescopic Ladders Roof Ladders Glassfibre Ladders Single Ladders ALL Scaffolds & Towers Domestic Towers STEEL Scaffold Towers ALLOY Scaffold Towers Industrial Towers Set the ladder against the wall correctly, and then install Laddermate.

According to the UK Ladder Association, falls from working at heights are among the most common workplace accidents, accounting for almost 25% of all work-related fatalities and 8% of non-fatal injuries yearly. A significant proportion of these cases involve falls from access equipment, such as ladders, which the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) says account for 40% of falls in the food and beverage industry.In 2023 Sterk Systems acquired Laddermat, now a leading provider of ladder accessories for major retailers and small businesses.

After setting up a ladder against a wall, it forms a triangle, which is the best shape for a strong structure. When used on its own, the chances of the ladder slipping or bouncing outward are high, exposing users to safety risks. That’s where Laddermate comes into play. The safety device creates a triangle within the larger triangle that the ladder creates with the wall, thus enhancing its strength and stability.
