One of the more popular uses of GRABO in North America is as a safety “ladder anchor”. Omega Industrial Supply, Inc. offers GRABO to workers and job site managers across California who care greatly about employee safety. Oleg J writes, “Yearly, over 150,000 people are sent to the emergency rooms in the USA because of ladder-related accidents. 300 of them even lose their lives. We use GRABO to secure ladders to the concrete floor, or to the wall which the ladder leans against. GRABO prevents the ladder from tipping over, sliding back or falling to the side. With over 200lbs of grabbing power, GRABO is probably at least as safe as a human spotter holding the ladder from below.”

A new, unexpected and highly innovative use of GRABO comes to us from the sports supplies industry. One of our global distributors pointed out that their clients are using two GRABOS combined with a TRX system in order to workout at home, in the office and while traveling.
GRABOS are attached to any available surface and are used as anchors for workout straps, rubber resistance straps or even as temporary pull-up bars. While this wasn’t a planned use-case for GRABO, we welcome any creative idea brought to us by our clients. Since this is not an intended use of the product, we also recommend the users to exercise caution with these applications.
