How to Install the Arsenal 5300 Ladder Shoulder Lifting Strap and Carrying Handle

 

The Arsenal 5300 Ladder Shoulder Lifting Strap & Carrying Handle System is designed for easier and safer transport of heavy ladders. This ladder carrier consists of a padded pocket, 3 hook & loop straps and an optional shoulder strap that securely attaches to keep ladders safely closed when carrying.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING PRODUCT ONTO A LADDER

  1. Install the main pad onto the ladder.
    • Find the ladder’s center of gravity by lifting it up and finding the spot on the ladder where it balances side to side.
    • Place the middle of the pad on the back rail of the ladder, as close to the center of gravity as possible.
    • Wrap the two short straps around the back rail of the ladder, tightly slot the strap through the metal d-ring and fold back onto itself, securing the hook & loop.
    • If gussets or any other parts of the ladder frame are in the way, shift the pad slightly up or down to avoid.
    • Ensure the grab handle stays on the top of the back rail.
    • Ensure the pad hangs down the back side of the ladder.
    • Wrap the elastic strap on the back of the pad around a support on the back rail of the ladder and secure the clip on the elastic strap around the white cord.
    • Wrap the longer securing strap around both rails of the ladder and secure the hook & loop.
  2. Install the outer straps and shoulder strap.
    • The outer straps can be placed anywhere above and below the pad. Find a spot where the straps will fit securely, away from any features of the ladder.
    • Wrap the strap around the back rail of the ladder, tightly slot the strap through the metal d-ring and fold back onto itself, securing the hook & loop. Repeat with the second strap.
    • Clip the shoulder strap to the d-rings of the outer straps and adjust as necessary.

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSPORTING A LADDER

  1. Ensure the ladder is closed and the long strap is secured around both rails of the ladder.
  2. Lift the ladder using the grab handle and shoulder strap. For smaller/lighter ladders, it may not be necessary to use both the grab handle and shoulder strap asone or the other may suffice.

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR WHEN A LADDER IS IN USE

  1. Remove the long securing strap around both rails of the ladder.
  2. After opening the ladder, secure the long strap to itself around the back rail of the ladder.
  3. When the ladder is in use, the system should be secured to the back rail of the ladder.
  4. If transporting with the shoulder strap, tuck it inside the pad pocket to keep it out of the way when the ladder is in use
