How The Ridge Pro Works

The operational simplicity of Ridge Pro makes it a preferred choice for professionals. By following a few straightforward steps, users can seamlessly transition from the ladder to the roof, ensuring a safe and efficient ascent. Before proceeding, ensure all safety measures are in place at the job site. Wear a safety harness and lifeline for fall protection. Position the ladder safely, adhering to OSHA standards, and verify the roof pitch using an accurate locator tool. Maintaining 100% tie-off for first man up operations is possible with the Ridge Pro device.

Begin by assembling the Ridge Pro device, aligning it with the roof pitch indicated on the Ridge Pro pitch guide, and securing the pitch with the provided steel pin.

Clip your lifeline to the pre-installed shackle on the Ridge Pro. 

Hang the Ridge Pro temporarily from the gutter or ladder at roof level. 

Ascend the ladder until your belt aligns with the Ridge Pro.

Safely transition to the roof using a lifeline rope grab.
