An inventor in Pouce Coupe, BC has created an apparatus that helps prevent extension ladders from slipping when used on hard and/or icy terrain.

Ladder use is a year-round necessity. Many times ladders are used in wintertime conditions where snow, ice and otherwise slippery ground conditions exist. This is especially true when putting up and taking down outdoor holiday lights and decorations. Should the ladder slip on the icy ground, serious injury or even death could result. In turn, the inventor created the Ladder Talon™. Now ladders can be provided with increased friction for better footing on slippery terrain.

This clever new invention is for outdoor ladder use. It’s a great safety feature. A series of aggressive triangular teeth practically eliminate any slippage, even on the iciest of surfaces. The invention won’t impact the functionality of a ladder. It can be left in place for the entire winter season, and then easily removed when no longer needed, leaving no tell-tale usage marks behind.
