Ladder jacks won't adjust to a low enough pitch for you? Have you wanted to use walkboards on lower pitch roofs?
You are not alone. We needed more speed and mobility as well, especially around chimneys and dormers.
So, we invented the L-3 low-slope ladder bracket. We normally use it with the ACRO slate roof bracket Part #19600, however, we designed it to easily accommodate 2 x 8's as well.
Used together with red SLATOR brackets, this system saves us significant labor costs on repair jobs and chimney work, and makes it easy to stay off the slate - especially important for lower slope slate and tile roofs.

Redesigned in December, 2021, our new L3 brackets are lighter, simpler, and also able to serve as a slate cutting platform if you prefer using a slate cutter instead of a slate cutting hammer. Manufactured in a Virginia, ISO 9001:2015 facility, the new units will be available in late January of 2022. We expect them to sell out quickly so we suggest you contact us to reserve your units. The price is $325 per pair.
(2) L-3 brackets were used with 2x8's to easily build this ladder platform to reach the chimney top without damaging any slate. (1) SLATOR bracket is holding the whole system. The white fall protection rope is attached to our V-5 permanent anchor on the other side of the ridge.
