Why Choose RidgePro Steep Assist?
Thanks to its vertical lifeline attachment, the Ridge Pro offers faster, safer, and more flexible access to the roof than traditional methods. It allows for safe temporary anchoring from the ladder to the roof's peak, providing horizontal mobility as you're secured to a vertical lifeline. The base is padded to protect the roof and accepts four 5/16" lag bolts.
Durable Roof Anchor Construction
Crafted from lightweight aluminum with a stainless steel rope shackle, Ridge Pro combines mobility with strength, offering a reliable solution for various roofing applications in Canadian weather conditions.
Cost-Effective Roof Anchor
Canadian contractors are switching to Ridge Pro, saving on walkboards and scaffolding costs. It's a wise investment that pays off in efficiency and safety.
The RidgePro features cross members that straddle the roof's peak, with pre-drilled holes for anchoring. Use 5/16" x 1-1/2" lag bolts (sold separately) to attach Ridge Pro securely to the structure.
Versatile Ridge Anchor For Various Uses
Suitable for Various Professions: Canadian roofing contractors, insurance claims adjusters, solar installers, pest control technicians, and holiday light installers benefit from the safety and efficiency Ridge Pro brings to their daily tasks.
Assemble RidgePro, match the roof pitch, attach the extension pole, and clip your lifeline. Hang the Ridge Pro temporarily from the gutter or ladder at the roof level. Climb the ladder until your belt is even with Ridge Pro. Roll the RidgePro using the extension pole until it reaches the roof peak. Flip RidgePro over, straddle the ridge, and pull firmly on the lifeline to set it in place. Safely transition to the roof using a lifeline rope grab. Attach four 5/16" x 1-1/2" lag screws for a secure tie-off.

Ridge Pro Canadian FAQ: Steep Assist & Safety Guide
1. What extension pole is required for the Ridge Pro in Canada?
The Ridge Pro is designed to fit the Wooster Sherlock R057 8'-16' extension pole, which is widely available at Home Depot and other hardware retailers across Canada. Watch the video below to see the exact drilling process required for setup:
2. Does this Ridge Pro version really ship free to Canada?
Yes! This specific SKU is optimized for our Canadian customers and includes free shipping to all Canadian provinces. We handle the logistics to ensure your steep-assist anchor arrives quickly and at the best total price.
3. Is the Ridge Pro known as "The GOAT" steep assist?
While "The GOAT" is a similar steep-assist tool, many Canadian professionals prefer the Ridge Pro for its 5,000-lb OSHA/ANSI-certified strength when anchored. The Ridge Pro offers the same "first man up" mobility while providing a secondary shackle for your vertical lifeline.
4. Can I use this on a copper or aluminum roof?
Yes. One of the biggest reasons to choose the Ridge Pro is its padded base. It is the ideal safe-access solution for soft metal roofs (aluminum, copper, zinc) found on many high-end Canadian homes where set-screw anchors might cause permanent damage.
5. Is the Ridge Pro OSHA compliant for fall arrest in Canada?
Yes, provided it is fastened to the roof structure with four 5/16" x 1-1/2" lag bolts. When anchored, it is rated for 5,000 lbs. Without bolts, it is an inspection tool for up to 15 minutes of work.
6. What roof pitches are compatible with this device?
The Ridge Pro is engineered for steep-slope roofs with pitches ranging from 6/12 to 12/12. You should always adjust the pitch setting to match your specific roof before ascending.
7. How do I avoid common problems during installation?
- 1. Don't Skip the Drill: You must drill the pole holes to 1/4 inch to fit the clevis pin correctly.
- 2. Use Sealant: Always use a weatherproof roofing sealant to fill lag bolt holes after removing the anchor.
- 3. Hit the Rafters: Ensure your lag bolts hit structural wood, not just the roof deck, for maximum safety.
