SLATOR Roof Bracket

$250.00
In stock at STORTZ.COM.
888-847-3456


Workers use the SLATOR bracket to firmly hold a ladder on steep pitch roofs. A FAVORITE tool of slate repair workers since 2014, it's also gaining popularity for installing standing seam panels on steep roofs as you work your way across the roof installing each new panel.


Each SLATOR bracket comes with enough fasteners for 1 installation and a 5/16" hex driver bit.


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.
