Transportation
• Ladders transported on road, street, and highway vehicles shall be
properly supported. Overhang of the ladders beyond supporting
points should be limited. Supporting points should be of a material
such as wood or rubber-covered iron pipe, to minimize chafing and
the effects of road shock. Securing the ladder to each support point
will greatly reduce damage due to road shock.
• Ladders shall be secured to the truck rack in a manner that will avoid
chafing from relative horizontal and vertical motion. The ladder feet,
when present, should be secured from pivoting about the ladder
while the vehicle is in motion. The ladder truck rack shall be designed
to positively secure the ladder into a fixed position, and the rack
should be designed to fit the particular ladder being fixed to the truck.
If these requirements are not satisfied, excessive wear of the ladder
will occur, which will cause premature deterioration of the ladder and
reduce its service life. Improperly designed and used truck racks may
damage side rails, steps or rungs, feet, and other ladder parts, owing
to vehicle vibration and road shock.
Storage
• Store ladder where protected from unsafe materials, impact, or
corrosion damage.
• Store ladder away from dampness and excessive heat.
• Store ladder where it cannot be damaged by vehicles, heavy objects,
or contaminants.
• Store ladder where it cannot cause a trip hazard or an obstruction.
• Store ladder where it cannot be easily used for criminal purposes.
• Store ladder where it is secured against unauthorized climbing
(e.g. by children)
• Ladders should be stored in or on racks designed to protect the
ladder when it is not in use. These racks should have sufficient
supporting points to avoid sagging. Materials shall not be placed on
the ladder while it is in storage.
