Ladder ? weird I know

[Forest fella]

This morning my next door neighbour asked me if I knew where he could buy some new re-placement feet for his old extending ladder and well I'm stumped I've googled the heck out of types of them and came up with nothing, not even 1 step forward haha.
Anyone know if these types have a name apart from ''Blinking old''.
Cheers

I had to look, didn't I!

Now I'm gonna be thinking about your neighbours predicament all weekend while I'm away, hoping he hasn't risked life and limb by using the ladder without them and not knowing the outcome til Monday!

Thanks alot!

Luckily the missing foot is on the upper extension, but is pretty sharp and in all honestly I help with anything on the high or heavy side of his work.
But he must of moved the ladder, I'm going to Gorilla tape the hell out of it for now there are other brands are available.
But all the Feet need to be replaced I've found protection pads / covers for them but there meant be go over the existing one's.
Cheers

I bought some on eBay last month for our step ladders...funnily enough that same issue needed a different size to the ones on the feet.

The replacements are really good quality, the feet ones are lined with a metal shim at the bottom too that stops the tubular edge of the metal ladder cutting through the rubber. I am very pleased with them. Not cheap, but well worth it.
They come in two varieties; those that plug in and those that cover over the entire end of the ladder tube/legs.

This is the company I bought them from.

If you can take out one of the remaining feet then anyone with a 3D printer can make him one. There is probably already a programme in “The Thingiverse”.

Edited to add:
My old B&D Workmate needs new shoes. I shall get them 3D’d!

Wow, I'll be honest thats well out of my let alone his wheel house.

These are the anti-slip pads and the cut to size pads all will have a problem I think, this one I'm worried that the sharp Capital i shape of the ladder will cut through them and the ''cut to fit'' one's go inside the ladder itself.
Short of finding a old ladder with the same feet I'm going to have to suggest buying a New ladder, Which I know he's not going to be happy about, I've already thought of the non-slip ladder mats but again I don't like the sharp edge's on it.
But as my old man used to say B~lls before bank.

 

[Pattree]

Show me a photo of the required foot and the internal dimensions of the ladder profile. No promises but I’ll see what I (son) can do.

Depressingly, when looking at a similar component for a loft ladder, it was cheaper to buy the entire ladder assembly than it was to just buy the small replacement parts from the distributor. Completely backwards and wasteful.

Thankfully I found someone on eBay with the parts for sale for a reasonable sum.

Can you reserve image search/Google Lens the component and see if it's available somewhere?

Take a picture and post it here. Can’t help if we can’t see it.

I bought 4 rubber ball feet for a folding chair for about a fiver. Never buy parts from the manufacturer.

£30 for these!

The ladders at work got so much (ab)use that the feet broke off within weeks. Thereafter they had a tight fitting piece of wood hammered into the cavity. That always seemed to suffice for grip but it might be an option for adapting an ill fitting rubber foot too.

I use old/offcut leather for many things like this. If the leather seems too soft, then just boil it and let cool If it got hard enough for armour... it'll get hard enough to withstand pressure and friction for a time... just as long, if not longer than rubber. Fred Dibnah had no rubber. Just hundreds of feet of chimney to climb with naught but wood. If you don't know who he is... just type his name in on youtube.

Boiled leather is amazingly tough, I have used several discs of boiled leather for years as a jacking pad on a car jack. I have also successfully used it to make ‘reinforcing sacrificial straps’ for a wooden crate, screwed in place and folded round the corner.

I also made a cover on a wooden pole to reinforce it, sewed it on then poured boiling water over the leather to shrink it tight into place, that worked to.

It does shrink though.

You stick a small metal shim acros the end to stop it cutting, or ply. and/or you trim and shove a bit of wood in the end to either prevent cutting or to bear on the new foot. This also helps to prevent them getting damaged or filling with rainwater I've done this on all my tubular roof ladders sections

 

[Forest fella]

Thanks for all of your idea's the width is 30mm and length is 61mm

 

[Pattree]

That’s a big cross section. I presume that it’s an external measurement.
I’ll see if my son can print a proto-model just for the fun of it. Once he’s started, it won’t take long or use much filament. Getting him started is the issue.

Yeah it shrinks. Contraction of the fibres. As you say though... it does work. No doubt about that!!! Suppose it comes down to... does one have access to leather, or is new rubber just the cheaper option?

Sorry Pattree I didn't see your last post, yes your correct the inner spec's are 26mm Wide & 57mm Long.
