Be careful which version you have

So I bought the main roller with the casters for the bottom of the ladder and everything on eBay and then bought the extension track on revain. Overall, it does the job pretty well. But there are things to be aware of:1. Far as I can tell, this same company makes three different versions of this product. If all you get is the base product without an extension, doesn't make a whole lot of difference which one you get, though there are considerations which I'll get to in a moment. But if you need

Pros
  • Worked well -- instructions were not very thorough.
Cons
  • May require professional installation

Poor manufacturing but sturdy

If you have the time to return one with very crooked mounts or tools to grind/cut and reweld one it's fine. 2 of the 4 I purchased were not straight enough to use. Also the O-rings for the extensions are too big on some causing more problems.All that said it is sturdy and cheap so if you can fix (or wait for them to fix) the bad parts it's worth it. If you need it right the first time out of the box it's a gamble and I'd buy something else.

Pros
  • Adds functionality and utility to your library or bookshelf by providing easy access to hard-to-reach books and items
Cons
  • May not be easily removable for storage or relocation

Works great but no brakes

I installed this hardware on a customers existing loft ladder (made from heavy 2"x 6" lumber) and it works great. However, it does move quite easily and the ladder will move around while you are climbing it. Is there a brake that can be added to the floor wheels to prevent this? BTW, I tossed out the little track that came with the kit and instead used a 6' length of 3/4" black iron pipe with elbows and flanges. As far as Sheerness is concerned, I'm really not sure. I've never been to the Isle…

Pros
  • Thanks
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of ladders

I purchased the full kit with rolling wheels as well as three additional extension rails in order to make a rolling ladder bookcase. I was shocked to find the mounting brackets were welded completely out of line. The brackets were improperly welded to the rails, making it impossible to correctly install this item.Furthermore, one of the rails is not uniform with the other three, with smaller sized brackets welded on the rail. I’ve attached a photo of this as well as a video that shows how the…

Pros
  • Exactly what I needed for a book shelf ladder. The black color is perfect and it was easy to install.
Cons
  • Provides limited weight capacity

Sturdy, well-designed, easy to assemble

This worked wonderfully for my build. I was under the impression from Q&A for their kits that the bottom roller wheels weren't included, but this particular kit did include those wheels which made it an even better value for the money. Heavy-duty and sturdy pieces that were easy to assemble on a homemade ladder. The ladder has only been in use for about two weeks at the time of writing, so I'll update this review if the kit proves to be any less sturdy than it seems at this time. I'd definitely

Pros
  • Only hardware, not including ladder
Cons
  • May require frequent tightening of bolts to prevent wobbling

Great Hardware: my feedback

My wife has been after me to get her a ladder for our library for more years than I care to think about and I wouldn't want anyone to know how long that was! So, for Christmas this last year, I ordered the hardware and set about making the ladder. The only thing that was a little difficult to understand was their instructions on where the wheels (upper and lower) should be mounted. In spite of that, I was able to figure out where they should go and put it together and if I must say so myself…

Pros
  • not well done
Cons
  • May be too bulky for small spaces

Easy to install for my opinion

This kit was easy to install and moves extremely smoothly. It would have made building the ladder easier if they had had some basic guidelines in the instructions. A few web searches provided the information to design and build the 9 foot ladder. I used red oak which made a heavy and solid/sturdy ladder. Movement is easy and I added to the width making the travel 12 feet. The total of wood and additional track was less than 80.00. This is a great value and quality kit.

Pros
  • Easy to install and assemble, even for beginners without prior DIY experience
Cons
  • May be prone to rust and corrosion over time

Works great but crappy screws

Used this for a custom built rolling ladder and bookshelf. I was fortunate to find these rollers that fit 3/4" pipe, so instead of the enclosed short piece of pipe, i used a 10 ft segment of structural piping. Much cleaner look in my application. The rollers worked great as well, but you will have to play with their placement a little. The only downfall to this kit is the screws. These are some of the cheapest screws ever. I had 5 or 6 strip out and i barely even needed that many. Make sure to…

Pros
  • Made from high-quality materials that are durable, sturdy, and built to last
Cons
  • May not accommodate certain ladder designs

Very good product in my review

The product received was as described. The instruction sheet however is a little sparse on detail so you may need to do some roller fitting prior to fastening down. The hardware is sturdy. Once installed, it seems very unlikely that the rollers would slip or fail with a person on the ladder. The rail screws are a little short. I replaced them with longer screws for more secure attachment to the wall. I also contacted the seller for an issue I thought I had but turned out I had misplaced a…

Pros
  • This listing only for customer who want to extend the length for sliding ladder track system, please buy together with full set hardware
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use on uneven flooring

Review for 7 lengths of rail, ladder and rollers

First the rail.Went like clockwork. No problems. Because of other reviewers saying how bad the screws were I went with 1/4" bolts instead. First off I made a test with a scrap board with 2 rails mounted on it. Then attached one of the ladder rollers on a scrap 2 x 4. Needed to make sure where to mount the running board for the ladder to clear the ceiling beams. None of the rail brackets were off center and all bolted into the board without problem. To attach 2 or more rails together a coupler…

Pros
  • I like that you can get and extension for this product
Cons
  • Requires additional purchase of rollers and track extension

This product looks and works great. The wheels roll smoothly and it is very sturdy. If you are a dyi person you can install this hardware on a ladder. Would recommend!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design that enhances the aesthetic appeal of your bookshelf or library setup
Cons
  • May be difficult to install in tight spaces

Loft ladder for a tiny.

Nice item. We are installing a loft ladder in our tiny, and adding a rail on the storage loft as well, so we can flip the ladder over there when needed.

Pros
  • Perfect
Cons
  • May not be adjustable to various heights

Great product in my review

Worked out great and the only reason for not giving it a five stars is because there is no way to stop it from moving but sturdy looks great and easy to assemble

Pros
  • Comes in a sleek black finish that complements most design schemes, making it easy to integrate into your existing decor
Cons
  • May require frequent cleaning to maintain appearance

Great track for library ladder

Great track and rollers. They provide easy to use calculations in case you slept through 8th grade geometry. Rolls great, looks good. All these tracks are pretty pricey, this one is slightly more reasonable, but still too expensive for what it is.

Pros
  • Compatible with a wide variety of round rails, making it a versatile and adaptable option for any setup
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all wall materials

No instructions, Slow Shipping

Be prepared to wait at least 2 months for this to ship overseas. There are no instructions included so you better be handy to put this to use. We also bought an extension kit and there was nothing included to join them together. It seems to function well and is of good quality.

Pros
  • This was everything we expected. Lots of useful hardware to work with any ladder install
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in high-traffic areas
