Where crews use the Frontline LAS48 ladder stabilizer
Eavestrough and siding
Stand the ladder off the gutter line and spread the load across the wall.
Window and facade work
Rubber bumpers rest on the wall either side of a window instead of on the glass.
Roof access
A wider, steadier top to the ladder for stepping on and off the roof.
Service and maintenance fleets
Universal fit moves between most straight and extension ladders in the truck.
Is the Frontline LAS48 CSA certified? Compliance in Canada
Is the Frontline LAS48 CSA certified?
No. Frontline rates it to ANSI A14.8-2020, the ladder accessory standard. It is not a fall arrest component; for CSA-marked fall protection, see our Safety Direct range.
Which ladders does it fit?
Straight and extension ladders with rungs up to 4 in long; the arms adjust from 40 in to 46 in wide in three positions. Frontline calls it a universal fit for most ladders.
How far does it hold the ladder off the wall?
12 in, which clears gutters and lets the rubber bumpers bear on the wall rather than the eave.
Does it change the ladder's duty rating?
The stabilizer is rated Type IA, 300 lb, the same as an Extra Heavy Duty ladder. Your ladder's own rating still applies.
How is it attached?
With the U-bolts over the top rungs, per Frontline's instructions. Check the bolts are tight before each use.
Pair the Frontline LAS48 stabilizer with ladder and roof safety gear
The LAS48 is a ladder safety accessory. Add the Frontline LAC12 ladder dock at the roof edge and a harness, SRL and rated roof anchor for fall protection once on the roof.
