Update on inflatable roof rack
« on: November 03, 2009, 08:27:25 pm »
For those who remember or who commented on it, I have started using my inflatable roof rack on jobs. A few people asked for updates to see if they were any good and someone posted a video from you tube where you can see a video promo of rack. I have included a photo of what it looks like on my car
I must say that the rack has worked famtastic so far. Easy to put up and even easier to put away. Can take up to 80kg of weught so can handle a good sized ladder and for the price (£40) a very good roof rack.
I would recommend to anyone who doesnt want a permanent roof rack or to anyone who doesnt want to spend to much.

diy roof racks for diy ladders.i don't think they will take some trade ladders plus a single  point ladder which in my opion it's a basic for every window cleaner

Ladder snob alert  ;D

How secure are the ladders when your traveling above 20mph, I like clamping my ladders so I know they are not going anywhere.

what a thread, just about sums up how this place is heading, some people really have idea's of grandeur

a window cleaner is out cleaning windows , he has a inflatable roof rack to carry his ladders on his car

we have had people mention :

they are not "trade" ladders, so what ? ? ? ? they are lightweight to carry, he knows the risks that come with using them

no place to fix ladder clamps, he doesnt use ladder clamps, the roof rack has some kind of tie down / ratchet setup, so doesnt need ladder clamps


he really should go and buy a WFP system and van, then he can go and earn 10 quid a house cleaning windows, oh hang on, he is earning 10 quid a house cleaning windows, he is doing off "DIY ladders" and then moves from area to area in a car, ontop of his car is a inflatable roof rack , oh and he cannot secure the ladders with ladder clamps

its all a little bit judgmental to me, live and let live, he is happy, he is earning a living by doing exactly the same job as you, a window cleaner

Well, I've read Ryan's story and I think he's doing well. Once he earns a little more, he can afford better ladders. Well done Ryan, for keeping at it. Good luck and stay safe.

i sometimes forget to tie mine on...came of on the motorway before got a police caution..three cars bumped into each other.. the first car didnt hit them..but the guys behind couldnt break quick enough..ther fault driving to close. ;D
Lucky it was a caution. It's a mandatory 3 points now.
