Ladder Hooks - Five Minutes That May Save Your Life! 

Your sshouodn to use two hooks here in the states too.

On high steep roofs, especially large ones, hook ladders can be carried along the ridge by standing upright and walking like on a tightrope. On most restoration jobs, one hook ladder remains in place to allow access to the ridge from the eaves. Other hook ladders are carried to various places around the roof by walking the ridges. Single-section ladders with one hook at one end allow for this maneuvering.

As of this writing, yes that do. I replaced the swivel wheel with a static wheel. Much better.

The hooks will fit on any rigid single ladder section.

Excellent idea!!! I want to make one, too. Been dreaming up designs… If you make something, please post a short video on RU-vid with a title that we can search (Something like: DIY Goat roofing hook) Best wishes.

Too heavy. Some ladder hook manufacturers recommend two hooks for their product, but ACRO hooks use one per ladder only.

Very observant. The original video was 5 minutes and had over 17,000 views. I deleted it, edited out 45 seconds of it, and then uploaded it again yesterday. The ACRO yellow ladder hook had a design problem in that it bent when used. I pointed this out in the original video, but ACRO redesigned the hook to fix this design flaw. Now the ACRO hook is reinforced where the bending used to take place. Therefore, I cut out the comments about their hook bending. Now if Qualcraft would fix their stupid rotating wheel, I will be able to take down the entire video.

Joe Jenkins I bought two of the yellow ones from you... real nice product. Roll it up, flip it, adjust as needed.

@@jcjenkins01 Even if they do fix and replace the swivel wheel with a fixed wheel... Please dont take this video down ......it could still save a lot of lives.... Just for the details you address alone ......😎

@@Scrollermania1963 I've been trying to get them to fix that hazard for 10 years. Seems they don't care enough.

@@jcjenkins01 Thats sad that even after all that time they didnt modify it yet......speaks volumes of the character of the owner and designer of that product to fail to see what you and many of us call dangerous practice.

No. It's easy to slide the ladder along a metal ridge. Just flip it over and slide it. Or, get on the ridge, pull the ladder up to its balance point, and slide it along. Or, roll it from below, such as from a ground ladder or from a roof scaffold.

Yes

@@jcjenkins01 Thanks

No aluminum ones in the USA.

@@jcjenkins01 Is that an OSHA regulation?

@@laurietop8731 No. Just that steel is stronger.

@@laurietop8731 No, in fact I did an Amazon search and they do have aluminum ladder hooks now.

@@jcjenkins01 Can you give me an idea of where to find them? I searched extensively (I thought), and only found them available in the UK.

Maybe, but we can't sell them like that.

Let me rephrase that. Anyone who buys that brand, like I just did could just jb weld the swivel so it doesn't move. Very good video tho , you kept me from finding out the hard way

Or just replace it with a wheel of the same size that doesn’t swivel.
