will this stabilize ladder on roof

Absolutely Not!!! That is one of the reasons I returned mine and purchased the Ladder-Max

I am not an expert, but I believe they are designed to work on perpendicular walls.

my ladders are Werner so this will allow you to keep off walls & roof great tool just to have

Sandy, the feet are a hard rubber/vinyl so it conforms to the surface that it is on. You can very secure about being on the ladder. I use it on a highly polished wooden floor and this adheres. I have even put it on a slightly slanted floor and it worked beautifully.

No I just use a tie down across the top of roof to hold down and it doesn't move

It will rest on the sloping roof, but don't expect the rubber feet on it to last any time at all. Mine failed the first time I used it on a sloped asphalt shingle roof. Fortunately I discovered that the aluminum bars were punching through the soft rubber before they gouged a hole in the shingles. Not only did the aluminum cut through the rubber feet the soft rubber actually abraded away from the very minor movement of the ladder. These rubber feet are not ready for prime time. Little Giant needs to greatly improve the feet on the stand off bar. It may require they change of shape of the bar where the rubber feet are too. The hemispherical (half round) shape has a sharp edge that takes all of the pressure of the ladder when it is against a sloped roof. I firmly believe the stand off is designed to be placed against siding and not used on a sloped roof. The ladder itself is strong and easy to store and transport. It's on the heavy side, but very transportable. I seldom use mine, however. I prefer to get out the extension ladder with the stand off bar that the rubber feet can be trusted not to damage the roof. The bottom line is that the bar will work on a roof if you provide something addition on the ends of the bar where it rest on the roof to protect the roof. Do NOT trust the rubber feet to protect your shingles.

I think the problem would be that the ladder is not really secured only the hooks are holding over the gunwale. I think the ladder can support the weight, it's a question of it being stable at the weight. Hope that helps a little

its not designed for that and it wouldn't be my recommendation. Gravity would not cause the ladder here to extend. Even if you could get this to work that way it would take so long to accomplish the task. Sorry to disappoint you.

Not specifically but you can attatch to the roof support system. Thanks, John

I'm confident that it would hold down your wiring. Last month I had to remove a few patches of EternaBond that had been on a roof for three years in extreme sun in South America. It took MAJOR effort to get it off. This stuff REALLY sticks.

I believe it can. I gave a pair to my son in law who has a different brand of ladder. I understand that he uses it all the time as he works in hilly San Francisco.

The crank is used to raise and lower the ladder and sometimes gets stuck. We have pushed it down several times until it catches in the right place and it still works with the crank. However, if you did it all the time and roughly, I think it would break eventually.

I don't know exactly as my ladder was never used. It is big enough to stand on and turn around. This ladder does NOT hold the weight it says it will, just so you know.

No! In theory -- sure -- but lugging it up a ladder, handling its weight on a slippery surface and controlling the depth of stroke so you don't damage your roof would make it very impractical.

I am not sure if you can use it with extension ladder. I always use it with one piece of extension ladder because I doubt it would work with both pieces. Even if you could secure the ladder from coming apart, one section would be up a few inches higher and not resting on the roof as intended. I'd say only use it with a single section of ladder.

We have only used it a short time (since Christmas), but it appears to be very stable and does not move. We use it in the kitchen with laminate floors to reach items in upper cabinets. The ladder doesn't have anything special on the feet other than some grooves cut into the wood, but is still very stable.

sorry no not safe check weight of the ladders you use hope this helps by the way platform is great very well made

Hi, David:I actually have no idea. I would imagine that it would but I have never had an articulating ladder in my hands or within 5 miles of me (that I know of). You could get one of these and try it and, if not, have a great stabilizer for other extension ladders.

You just need level ground and a solid surface like a wall to lean it against so as long as the ladder is long enough, it should work.
