Never carry a person on your Ladder Mover.
They could become injured if they fall, or if any part of the assembly of ladder(s), hand truck, straps and Ladder Mover were to fail.
Don’t take a chance with someone’s safety.
-
Never use a folding or collapsible hand truck.
It could fold during use and damage your ladder.
-
Never leave a load on your LadderMover™ overnight.
Maintaining a heavy load for an extended period may in rare cases, cause deformation due to creep.
Creep, known also as cold flow, is the permanent deformation that increases with time under constant load or stress.
-
Never store Ladder Mover in direct sunlight or temperatures greater than 150° F. such as the dashboard of a vehicle.
However, it is okay to use Ladder Mover in direct sunlight and at any temperature that your body can tolerate.
-
Never climb your ladder until the hand truck and supplies have been moved to a safe location away from the work area.
Falling from your ladder or elevated work area and onto your hand truck could cause serious injury or death.
Be observant for anything that could be dangerous to fall upon.
-
Ladder Mover will function without bungee straps when traveling over a smooth and level surface, however we highly recommend always using rubber bungee straps to secure your ladder(s) and supplies to the Ladder Mover and hand truck.
An unsecured load could slide or bounce off and strike the edge of your hand truck toeplate, causing severe damage to your ladder, making it unsafe to climb.
Dents or scratches in your ladder side rails could create a weak area causing your ladder to suddenly bend or break while being used, this is true for both fiberglass and aluminum ladders.
Don’t take a chance, it’s not worth getting injured or damaging your expensive ladder.
-

No one can force you to be safe or act in a responsible manner.
Your safety is in your own hands, always take your time and think before acting, watch for hazards to yourself and those around you, stay alert, and stay safe.
