LadderM8rix pal. Even on ice, no problem whatsoever, been using it for months, best thing on the planet, yes I use it very frequently on wet decking, even green slimey decking. Lifesaver

i saw the ladderM8trix this week looks like a real handy piece of kit ! as for decking be very careful before going wfp i would always put down a rubber mat from the foot well of a car

i have a ladderm8trix and i hardly use it now, best thing is a ladderbase mate stabiliser from midlands ladders, its impossible for the ladder to slip backwards with this thing, best bit of kit i've ever had.

is it not a pain carrying these things from house to house and your bucket and your ladders

Not at all mate, I don't carry a bucket and ladder at the same time, I walk twice, so it doesn't matter for me at all. Setting it up doesn't cost much time either.

Sorry, but that simply doesn't do on the majority of slippery surfaces. No way that is better then a Ladderm8rix.

I have both and the ladder base mate stabiliser is by far superior, i hardly ever use the ladderm8rix anymore, the base mate stabiliser makes it IMPOSSIBLE for the ladder to slip backwards, its as simple as that. with the ladderm8rix that is not the case there is a chance it can slip and has done once on me, not saying its a bad product it because it is very good, but no way is it better than the base mate stabiliser

i only use the ladder base mate stabiliser when i feel i need to

You mean this one :

? If so, how can that possibly not slip on decking ice etc. Just rubber feet.

Just noticed this thread title - just what was the original poster thinking about when he posted it?

noo i mean this



heres another picture of it, the ladder has wheels on it to prove it is impossible for the ladder to slip with this

[[GQC] Tim]

Ooooh I see, yea that will do the job very nicely. I thought you ment the other one, didn't understand how that would have been safer. 

[Gringo]

ha ha i was original poster and i dont know what i was thinking of either
but thanks for all advice and i've bought the ladder m8rix i'm a newbie on here and a crap typer

we have had a ladder slip with a ladder mate attached as the photo, it was internal so all ground clean and dry. both slipped outwards and left top of ladder with nothing to rest on, the h & s were good but said its just one of those things as it doesnt fit all ladders excactly, so please use with caution,
