Keeping Workers Safe with Bilco's LadderUP® Safety Post

WEST HAVEN, CT/July 26, 2002- Keeping workers safe is a priority for every company; however, those workers whose jobs require traversing a roof hatch; floor, sidewalk, or vault door; or manhole face particular safety issues. Not only are these spaces confining to movement, but often, workers will likely be maneuvering equipment or tools through the space as well as themselves, increasing the likelihood of an accident. The Bilco Company, manufacturers of specialty access products for the commercial and residential markets, offers the LadderUP® Safety Post, an extension device for fixed ladders, allowing workers safe, easy entrance and egress from these areas. Bilco's LadderUP is an easy-to-install, easy-to-use extension device for fixed ladders. Featuring rugged tubular construction, the spring balanced LadderUP permanently mounts on the top two ladder rungs, telescopes up and down, locking in the upright position. This enables service personnel to enter or exit the roof hatch, vault or manhole in an upright and balanced position, as though the interior ladder extended above roof or grade level. A handy release lever allows the LadderUP to be lowered to it's retracted position. The Bilco LadderUP is available in four models; black enamel steel, hot dip galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, and is designed to fit virtually any fixed ladder or manhole rung in new or existing construction.
