SAFEGUARD Hi-Traction Ladder Rung Covers:

Patented SAFEGUARD Covers for ladder rungs provide confident antislip protection right where it is needed most.

Typical ladder rungs, especially those made from bar stock, are notorious for slip problems, especially in wet and oily environments. This is one of the most dangerous locations for any worker as the foot surface area is small and needs to have excellent traction.

To solve this problem, SAFEGUARD manufactures two styles of slip resistant Ladder Rung Cover - channel shaped and half-round, both of which fit easily over the rung. The half-round cover is available in pultruded FRP (fiberglass) only. Both styles can be installed using adhesive or mechanical fasteners (over hollow rungs). Metal Ladder Rung Covers can be tack welded to metal rungs.

SAFEGUARD Ladder Rung Covers are proven performers in the world’s toughest environments, on offshore drilling platforms, marine vessels, in greasy food processing facilities, dusty ceramic plants, automotive stamping operations, and power generation facilities.

The Covers provide superior traction and long lasting performance, and significantly enhance ladder safety. They are resistant to many chemicals, corrosion, and the harsh abuse of boot traffic up and down the ladder.

SAFEGUARD Ladder Rung Covers are ideal in either indoor or outdoor use, in all types of harsh weather or dangerous conditions. A range of safety-oriented color options is available, as well as two-tone combinations and photoluminescent HiGloTraction (glow-in-the-dark) configurations.

They can be retrofitted over ladder rungs in the field, or as an OEM enhancement.

Safeguard offers its Hi-Traction Covers in a range of sizes, base constructions, ladder rung cover colors and anti-slip grades, with complete installation instructions provided.
