The Saf-T-Notch Removable Extension is installed on ladders where permanent installation of an extension is undesirable. Use for descents to a lower level or when ascending upwards through a hatch.
The kit extends the Saf-T-Notch Rail above the ground or roof level and allows the climber to attach to the Saf-T-Climb system before descending, or to remain attached to the system after ascending through a hatch. This insures the climber’s continued safety when mounting or dismounting the ladder.
When not in use, the extension can be removed so a manhole cover, hatch or grate can be replaced over the opening.
