Ridge Pro Pole Instructions
The extension pole is available locally at Home Depot for around $40. Buying the pole locally avoids shipping costs and potential damage in transit. Look for the Wooster Sherlock R057 8'-16' in the paint department for a sturdy and reliable extension for your Ridge Pro system. Once you get the pole, remove the two screws holding the threaded tip in the end and drill those holes out to 1/4" to accept the Ridge Pro device. The Ridge Pro post will slide inside the pole and can be secured using the clevis pin that came with the Ridge Pro.
Why Choose RidgePro?
The Ridge Pro is a "first man up" roof anchoring system designed for 6/12 to 12/12 roof pitches, catering to professionals including Contractors, Roofers, Solar Installers, and Insurance Adjusters. Unlike traditional chicken ladders, Ridge Pro offers faster, safer, and more flexible access to the roof, thanks to its vertical lifeline attachment.
The Ridge Pro allows for safe temporary anchoring from the ladder to the roof's peak. It provides horizontal mobility because you are secured to a vertical lifeline. The base is padded to protect the roof and accepts four 5/16" lag bolts, making it an OSHA-compliant anchoring device. The body is durable, lightweight aluminum with a stainless steel rope shackle, making it mobile and incredibly strong!
The latest version of the RIDGE PRO is compliant with OSHA 1926 Subpart M for a single user when anchored, withstanding 5,000 pounds of static strength force. When not anchored, OSHA classifies the device as an "inspection tool," allowing 15 minutes on the roof before you must anchor. Learn more in our head-to-head comparison of steep assist products.

Excellent!
Easy to use website and purchasing. Super fast shipping! Following the instructions on this website, we bought an extension pole from the hardware store and modified it to fit. Very easy to do, economical, and efficient. We bought one to try out a few weeks ago and now have purchased three more for our company. Highly recommend this product.

Awesome tool
This is literally a life-saver. Super easy to use, really portable, instant setup. Is better than the Goat IMO because it gives you so much more range of movement on the roof. Having the mobility of using a rope gives me the range I need to do inspections. Plus I can throw it in the back of a SUV or trunk, no need for a big rack. All around a great product.
