Ladder Leveler And Stabilizer
“Our new ladder leveling device is the best method ever invented to use ladders safely on sloping ground,” says Gary Cayson, Portland, Ore.
   The unit weighs 14 lbs. and works on grades of up to 30 degrees. It can be used with ladders up to 32 ft. long. The aluminum device clamps onto the bottom 2 rungs of an existing ladder and includes an integrated bubble level. The bottom of the ladder sets in a cradle off the ground and pivots on an arch with a series of holes in it.
  Once attached to the ladder, the arch can be swiveled to adjust to the slope of the ground while allowing the ladder to remain upright. To swivel the arch, you simply pull a handle out from it. The bubble level ensures that the ladder is straight up and down. Once everything is lined up, the stand is locked into position, and you can climb the ladder.
  “It places the ladder’s center of gravity farther down the ladder, increasing side to side stability,” says Cayson. “It also broadens the base of the ladder, helping to increase stability.”
  The standard model sells on the company website for $320 plus S&H while a heavy duty, 22-lb. version sells for $329 plus S&H.
