Ridge Pro Peak Anchor Frequently Asked Questions
What extension pole is required for the Ridge Pro?
The Ridge Pro is designed to fit the Wooster Sherlock R057 8'-16' extension pole. Watch the video below for a step-by-step guide on preparing your pole for the Ridge Pro device:
Can I use the Ridge Pro on aluminum or copper metal roofs?
Yes. It is the preferred safe-access solution for aluminum, copper, zinc, and other soft metal roofs where set-screw anchors might cause damage.
Is the Ridge Pro OSHA compliant for fall arrest?
Yes, but only when 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. Unbolted, it is considered an "inspection tool" for up to 15 minutes.
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.
Will the device scratch my painted metal or shingle roof?
No. The base is equipped with heavy-duty padding designed specifically to protect the finish of metal panels and asphalt shingles.
Do I need to buy anything else to start working?
You will need to source the Wooster Sherlock extension pole and four 5/16" lag bolts locally to avoid high shipping costs on long poles.
How do I avoid common problems during Ridge Pro installation?
- 1. Don't Skip the Drill: You must drill the pole holes to 1/4 inch.
- 2. Seal Your Holes: Always use weatherproof roofing sealant when removing lag bolts.
- 3. Match Pitch First: Adjust the Ridge Pro to match the roof pitch while on the ground.
