Best 24ft step ladder levelers?

rodm1 · Nov 29, 2014

I'm looking at ladder levelers for a Warner 24 ft fiberglass extension ladder. I see most you must cut the ladder off to install for me that isn't a option. Has anyone installed a Levelok on a Warner fiberglass extension ladder without cutting the feet of? It appearers that some brands its not a problem but would like to double check.

I've never used anything more than a pair of C-clamps and a chunk of 2x4. Having said that, description does say that the levelers can come pre-installed on certain models, have you checked into that? Or you might be able to use them on that particular ladder with spacer plates.

I just bought and installed a very similar product for my aluminum ladders from KMSTools in western Canada. I paid $65 for a set for one ladder. Extra brackets for one ladder are $25. I didn't have to cut off feet but did have to adjust where on the ladder it bolted to.
I've used other styles of levelers and had problems with dirt making them sticky and don't like the permanent extra width for when transporting them on my ladder rack on my truck.
I haven't used them yet but think they will be the cats meow. I especially like that I can get more brackets for other ladders without having to buy more legs.
I will use them in my siding and renovation business.

I've used the above levelers and you have to cut off the feet and the ladder is permanently widened....too wide to use on stairs with one foot on one stair and the other foot on a different stair because the legs won't span the depth of two stair treads.

I use the levelok on my ladders, no need to cut the ladder, just use spacers to clear the foot bracket and rung rings.

I clicked on this looking to see what a 24' step ladder looks like.

Obviously it's an extension ladder

I ran into a problem with my ladder levelers. The tubes for them are hollow and filled up with water and last winter they froze and the foot pushed out of the tube. This left the ladder free to fall off. I leave it against the house chained to a railing so it cannot move, and it still managed to fall over. They were not real easy to push/drive back into the tubes and had to be taken apart to finally get them driven in. This year I will try to remember to dry them out and cap them.
