FAQs

What size webbing do these sliders fit?

These sliders are designed to fit webbing straps that are 30 mm (approximately 1.18 inches) wide.

How many sliders are in a package?

Each package contains 5 pieces of the ladderlock rucksack sliders.

Can I use these for heavy-duty loads?

These sliders are made of durable plastic and are suitable for typical backpack and bag applications. For extremely heavy loads, metal alternatives might offer greater strength.

Are these sliders adjustable?

Yes, the ladderlock design allows you to easily adjust the length of the webbing strap by sliding the buckle along it.

How do I install them?

You thread the webbing through the slider's bars and fold it back to secure, creating an adjustable loop. Detailed steps are in the 'Setup' section.

What color are the sliders?

The sliders are black.

Can these be used on my clothing?

Yes, they can be used as decorative elements or for adjusting straps in clothing as well as bags and backpacks.

Troubleshooting

Strap slips through the slider.

Ensure the webbing is correctly threaded through both bars of the ladderlock. Make sure the webbing is not frayed and is the correct 30 mm width. Try tightening the strap by pulling both the free end and the main strap firmly.

Slider feels stiff or difficult to adjust.

Check the webbing for debris or damage that might be obstructing movement. Ensure the webbing is clean and dry. Sometimes, a small amount of silicone lubricant can help, but use sparingly and test on a spare piece first.

Slider cracks under tension.

This may indicate the slider is being used with excessive weight or a strap wider than 30mm. These sliders are intended for moderate use. For heavy-duty applications, consider metal alternatives. Inspect the slider for pre-existing damage before use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides essential strap length adjustment for custom fits.
  • Durable plastic ensures longevity for bags and backpacks.
  • Simple and intuitive ladderlock design for ease of use.
  • Suitable for a wide range of bag and clothing applications.
  • Comes in a convenient pack of 5 for multiple projects.

Cons

  • Only compatible with 30 mm webbing straps.
  • Plastic construction may not be suitable for extremely heavy-duty load-bearing applications compared to metal alternatives.
  • Can be lost if not properly secured to the webbing.
  • Requires basic sewing or attachment skills for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Thread the end of your 30 mm webbing strap through the base of the ladderlock slider.
  2. Fold the webbing back over the top bar of the slider.
  3. Thread the webbing back through the second bar of the slider, creating a loop.
  4. Pull the webbing strap to secure the slider in place. Adjusting the strap length is achieved by sliding the buckle along the webbing.

Compatibility:

  • These sliders are specifically designed for 30 mm (1.18 inch) wide webbing straps. Ensure your webbing is of this dimension for a secure fit.
  • They are not recommended for use with webbing wider or narrower than 30 mm, as this may compromise the grip and security.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic.
  • Inspect regularly for any signs of wear or stress, especially if used under significant load. Replace if cracks or significant wear are observed.
