Ladder Safety Legs with Anti-Slip Feet | Ladder Stabiliser
Short answer: Bison Ladder Safety Legs (also called ladder spurs or ladder stabiliser legs) are a pair of splayed steel legs that clamp to the bottom of your ladder's stiles. They widen the base and put two extra rubber feet on the ground, so the ladder is far less likely to slip or tip sideways.
Made by Bison Products of Swadlincote, a family business since 1972.
Why fit ladder safety legs?
- Wider, steadier base: the legs splay out either side of the ladder, giving it a much wider footprint than the stiles alone.
- Anti-slip rubber feet: large rubber feet grip block paving, concrete, tarmac and other hard surfaces.
- Fits most ladders with stiles up to 34mm wide and 100mm deep.
- No drilling: each leg clamps on with a bracket, 'U' bolts and hand wheels, so it fits and comes off by hand.
- Built to last outdoors: zinc electro-plated steel resists corrosion.
- Light enough to carry: 4.5kg.

How to fit them
- Measure your ladder stile. It must be no more than 34mm wide and 100mm deep.
- Place a leg against the outside of each stile near the bottom of the ladder, with the foot pointing outwards.
- Pass the 'U' bolts around the stile and tighten the hand wheels until the bracket is firm.
- Stand the ladder up and check that both rubber feet sit flat on the ground before you climb.

FAQ
What are ladder safety legs?
Ladder safety legs, also called ladder spurs or ladder stabiliser legs, are a pair of steel legs that clamp to the bottom of a ladder's stiles. They splay outwards and put extra rubber feet on the ground, making the ladder base wider and more stable.
Will these ladder stabiliser legs fit my ladder?
They fit ladders whose stiles are up to 34mm wide and 100mm deep. That covers most ladders, but measure the side rail of your ladder before ordering.
How do ladder spurs attach?
Each leg has a bracket that sits against the stile and is held by 'U' bolts and hand wheels. You tighten them by hand, so there is no drilling and no tools are needed.
Can I take the safety legs off after use?
Yes. Loosen the hand wheels and the legs come off, so you can store the ladder flat or move them to another ladder.
What surfaces do the anti-slip feet work on?
The large rubber feet are designed to grip hard surfaces such as block paving, concrete and tarmac. For sloping or uneven ground, the Big Grip is the better choice.
How heavy are they?
They weigh 4.5kg, light enough to keep in the van and carry to the job.
