Ladder Rung Covers FAQ's
What are Staircare Progrit (SPG) Ladder Rung Covers made from?
Staircare Progrit Ladder Rung Covers are manufactured from Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) with a bonded silicon carbide anti-slip grit surface, providing excellent durability and long-term slip resistance.
What ladder rung sizes are the covers suitable for?
The covers are available in two profiles:
- ½ Round to suit 20mm diameter rungs
- U-Shape to suit 25–28mm diameter ladder rungs
This allows compatibility with most standard fixed ladders.
Where are Staircare Progrit (SPG) Ladder Rung Covers typically used?
They are commonly used on fixed access ladders, safety cages, platforms, and plant access ladders, particularly in industrial, marine, water, mining, and infrastructure environments where slip risk is elevated.
How effective is the silicon carbide grit?
The silicon carbide grit provides high slip resistance in wet, dry, and contaminated conditions, helping to reduce the risk of slips when ascending or descending ladders in demanding environments.
Are the ladder rung covers suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments?
Yes. FRP is non-corrosive, UV stable, and electrically non-conductive, making Staircare Progrit (SPG) Ladder Rung Covers ideal for outdoor, coastal, and industrial locations with minimal maintenance requirements.
How are ladder rung covers fixed to the rungs?
Progrit Ladder Rung Covers are bonded to ladder rungs using a suitable polyurethane adhesive. This adhesive remains flexible and does not cure too rigidly, allowing for normal ladder movement and vibration while maintaining a secure bond. When installed in accordance with manufacturer instructions, ladder rung covers support the access safety intent of AS 1657 (Fixed platforms, walkways, stairways and ladders) by improving rung slip resistance without compromising ladder functionality.
