SLATOR Roof Bracket
Description
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.
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.

The Slator bracket is quite popular with steep pitch standing seam and slate roof installers and repairmen. It also works well for safe access on asphalt shingle, cedar and some tile roofs.
Steep pitch metal roof installers use the Slator brackets to hold 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.

the SLATOR is the tool you will treasure above all others.

Many of our own roofing clients have us install the V-5 on their residential roofs and architects across the country are specifying these anchors on churches, educational facilities and residences.
With the low profile copper and bronze flashing kit and cap, it's an attractive long term solution for roof safety.

I am writing you about our recent purchase of your ingenious product The Slator. Our foreman was ecstatic after using it for the first time. His comments were “I wish I had a set 25 years ago”. It has definitely made his job easier and safer. Roofing is a by nature a hazardous profession. I have been in the roofing business for 35 years and it is not too often that a safety product comes along that truly makes the job safer, is easy to work with and the roofers actually like using it. The Slator does all this. Thank you for this product; we will be ordering more for our shingle crews as well.
