It's ideal for use with standard roof sheathing and up to1/4" thick slate, cedar shake and asphalt shingle roofs. If we are out of stock, call us for pricing and lead time. Prices change based on the current market price and availability of stainless steel.
The flashing system must be purchased separately.

Inspect prior to every use and at the end of use.
Do not use if the anchor has been deformed or if the bolts have loosened.
Remove from service if the anchor is deformed.

SLATOR Roof Bracket
Our patented Slator roof bracket gives you quick easy and safer access to many difficult locations on a roof.
The Slator bracket is extremely popular with slate roofers and installers of steep pitch standing seam roofs. Metal roof installers use the (2) Slators to hold a (2) adjacent ladders on the roof next to the panel being installed. This allows them to work their way along the roof simply by moving the Slators and the roof ladders. This method is preferred to using ridge hooks because ridge hooks dent/scratch the metal roof on the opposite side.
Similar to air conditioning. once you've used Slators, you'll never want to go back to the way things were before.
Each SLATOR bracket comes with enough fasteners for 1 installation and a 5/16" hex driver.
The SLATOR conforms with OSHA 1926, 1910 requirements for fall protection when installed and used according to the instructions. It fastens to a steep slate, asphalt shingle or cedar shake roof and firmly clamps a ladder into position, allowing tradesman easier and safer access to perform their work. Used properly, the SLATOR will help protect the roof from wear and tear, save you time, energy, and perhaps, your life. Watch the tutorials and gain easier and safer access to do your best work safely.

SLATE ROOF STEPS
Keep the roofers and service people from walking on your slate roof and ruining your roof. Install these steps for areas that may need regular accessibility. Properly installed, these steps will transfer loads directly to the roof sheathing and not onto the slate below. You may paint these custom made 3/16" aluminum steps to match your slate color. SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH OUR INSTALLATION VIDEO.
2" STAINLESS STEEL PLUMBING VENT STACK - SLATE ROOF
7 gauge (3/16" thick) stainless steel base (cut the same size as your slate) fully welded to a 2" schedule 40 stainless steel through pipe. Our system installs just like a piece of slate and requires zero flashing. It may be sanded and spray painted to match your slate so that it becomes completely unnoticeable on your roof. Simply connect the plumbing in the attic to the underside of this pipe with a 2" rubber fernco. These photos show (2) leaking vent stacks being removed and combined in the attic, then rerouted to the new stack on the rear of this home.
(4) Bibbys - Asphalt Shingle Repair Tool
(4 handles and 4 blades per set, while supplies last) Have you ever had to postpone a repair job repair because the temperature or the shingle sealant would not allow you to separate the shingles without creating a mess? That gets expensive and frustrating. Use a gentle "sawing" action (as shown in our video below) with the Bibby to separate the shingles and keep the job moving along. Apply new sealant when putting the shingles back. Replacement blades sold separately. Get extra life out of your blade by cleaning it with mineral spirits or acetone.
