Ladder Lighting Collum

The ladder lighting collar has now changed to collum, it secures the top of the ladder to lighting columns, street furniture columns, traffic light columns and telegraph poles.

The top ladder stabiliser is simple to install as per user information, the lighting collum will help reduce sideways movement keeping the ladder stable at the top.

Benefits:

• Unique double fork. Unlike ordinary centre devices, the upper and lower forks counter each other and virtually eliminate twisting on columns
• Self adjusting. The pivoting action keeps both forks firmly on a column as it moves under load, regardless of the ladder’s angle
• Flexible fitting. Fits around any column diameter regardless of straight, tapered or stepped profiles
• Tailored sizes. The forks can be made to any length upon order
• Fits aluminium, glass fibre and timber ladders. All popular makes and classes
• Single piece design. To suit all applications without any adjustment
• Quick fitting. Takes a few minutes, simply tighten two knurled nuts. No tools required

The Lighting Collum is a way to stabilise a ladder top on a lighting column or a flagpole. It is much more effective than conventional V’s or flexible cross members.
Lighting collum is not suitable for any other application, e.g. trees or corners.
No individual procedure provides absolute safety and it is essential to adopt general good ladder practice.

Instructions:
1. Make sure all equipment is in good condition and that screw threads are lightly greased.
2. Position the aluminium hooks over the top ladder rung and pass the plated steel shroud
under the next rung down.
3. Carefully centre the hooks between the ladder stiles and ensure that the top rung seats
snugly into the sharp bend in the aluminium hooks.
4. Tighten the knurled nuts until hooks are no longer free to move back, forward or
sideways. Do not over tighten.
5. Up-end the ladder back to front, turn it round and extend the ladder to working height.
6. Engage the prongs both sides of the lighting column.
7. Pull out the bottom of the ladder to a little more than the normal recommended 1 in 4
angle and ensure that both the top and bottom sets of prongs are firmly engaging the
column.
8. Use a safety base or a ladder leveliser on sloping and uneven ground.
9. If there is a risk of ground slip tie the bottom of the ladder to the column.
