Dimensions: |
Vigil
Antislip Ladder Rung Covers are measured in two dimensions; diameter
of the existing ladder rung (A) and the width of the ladder rung
cover required (B). |
| A:
|
Diameter
of the Existing Rung: Because ladder rungs are manufactured
in various diameters, Vigil Antislip Ladder Rung Covers increase
in size from 20mm to 35mm in standard 5mm increments. It is important
to measure the diameter correctly to ensure a Ladder Rung Cover
of tight fit is supplied. |
| B:
|
Width
Required: Most ladders are 350mm - 400mm wide, however they
may go up to 500mm. Standard Ladder Rung Cover widths are from
200mm to 450mm in 50mm increments, 300mm Ladder Rung Covers are
the most common size, however, if foot protection only is required,
200mm Ladder Rung Covers can be installed in the centre of the
rungs so that personnel's hands can still grip the bare rung on
either side of the Ladder Rung Cover.

Grade: |
Ladder
Rung Covers are only manufactured in Light industrial grade. This
grade offers excellent antislip properties without being too severe
to damage personnel's hands.
|
| 3.
Colour: |
Safety
Yellow is always recommended for Ladder Rung Covers to improve
visibility. Other colors are available if requested.
|
| 4.
Foundation: |
1.2mm
Colorbond steel is normally used as the foundation for Vigil Antislip
Ladder Rung Covers. This patented product offers excellent resistance
to corrosion under most circumstances. If Ladder Rung Covers are
to be used in splash zones, we recommend 1.2mm marine grade stainless
steel be used as a foundation. Electrolysis must be considered
though if it is being installed on galvanised steel.
|
| 5.
Installation: |
The
safest and most convenient way to install Ladder Rung Covers is
with Sikaflex 291 sealant adhesive. This adhesive comes in a cartridge
which is operated by a heavy duty silicone gun. Simply apply a
10mm diameter bead of adhesive along the inside corners each Ladder
Rung Cover prior to installing them on properly cleaned rungs.
Let the adhesive cure for approximately 8 hours before use.
|
| 6.
Cleaning: |
Because
of the extreme hardness and chemical resistance of Vigil Antislip,
cleaning can be effected with high pressure steam or water, degreasers,
detergents or solvents. Stubborn soilage can be removed with a stiff
deck broom. If solvents have been used, hose off with water at your
earliest convenience. Do not use scrapers or wire brushes.
|
| 7.
General: |
Never
install Ladder Rung Covers on only a portion of a ladder, as change
of conditions is more dangerous than overall poor conditions.
Ensure
Ladder Rung Covers are installed correctly as it could be very
hazardous if any came off accidentally.
