A treestand ladder guard includes a skeletal cover, an upper treestand ladder attachment, a lower treestand ladder attachment, and a chain. The skeletal cover includes a frame, a plurality of vertical bodies, and a plurality of horizontal bodies. The vertical bodies and the horizontal bodies are perpendicularly positioned of each other. The frame is perimetrically connected around the vertical bodies and the horizontal bodies thus completing the skeletal cover. The upper treestand ladder attachment is hingedly connected to a top end of the frame, and the lower treestand ladder attachment is hingedly connected to a bottom end of the frame thus securing the skeletal cover to the ladder of the treestand. The chain is terminally connected to the frame, opposite of the upper treestand ladder attachment and the lower treestand ladder attachment, so that the skeletal cover can be locked against the ladder of the treestand.

Embodiments disclosed herein describe systems and methods for a lighting device that is configured to couple with the end of a ladder. The lighting device may be configured to illuminate a room within a building with different types of light being projected in different, predetermined directions. Therefore, a firefighter within the building may be able to determine the location of the ladder even if heavy smoke is positioned within the building. Accordingly, the firefighter may be able to enter the building quicker because the firefighter may not have to bring an extra light, while also allowing the firefighter to exit the building quicker.

A leveler for a ladder having side rails and a rung comprises a metal housing fixed to one of the side rails. The housing has an opening. The leveler comprises a metal leg with slides in the housing and is adjustable in the housing. The leg has a top end and a bottom end. The leg has two rows of holes which are set side by side and extend through the leg. The leveler comprises a holder for holding a leg to the housing. The holder extending through the opening and one of the holes to hold a leg in place. The leveler comprises a cap disposed on the top end which acts as a stop for the leg when the cap contacts the housing. A method for setting a ladder in place.

A ladder attachment that secures a container to a ladder while keeping the ladder rungs free from obstruction, allowing the user to safely climb the ladder while the ladder attachment is in use. The ladder attachment comprises a rigid supporting arm and a container holder that is capable of securing a container to the ladder via the container's handle. In embodiments, the rigid supporting arm is configured to fit within the hollow rung of a ladder and rest gravitationally therein. Embodiments allow for easy installation and removal of the ladder attachment and may be inserted into either the left or right-hand side of the ladder.

An apparatus includes a platform having a first end and a second end and a handle. The apparatus includes a first leg assembly rotatably attached to the platform in proximity to the first end. The apparatus includes a second leg assembly attentively attached to the platform in proximity to the second end. When the first and second leg assemblies are essentially perpendicular to the platform, the apparatus is in a use state and the user is able to stand on the platform and be supported by the first and second leg assemblies. When the apparatus is in the use state, the user is able to pick up the apparatus by the handle with only one of the hands without tipping the apparatus. A method for a user with hands to stand on an apparatus.

An angle gauge for immediately determining if an inclination of a ladder against a vertical surface is satisfactory is provided. The angle gauge has a circular base portion and an indicator dial rotatably to the center of a face of the base portion. A straight edge flange is connected to the base portion to provide a straight edge extending tangentially from the circumference thereof. The face has top and bottom halves dividing by an angle line, wherein the angle line is adjustable so as to select a target angle between the angle line relative to the straight edge. The indicator dial obscures half of the face at all times. The straight edge is connected to a rung of a ladder so that if the ladder is not oriented at the target angle relative to vertical supporting surface, the bottom half is partially visible above the indicator dial.

A rung for use in a ladder section of a collapsible ladder (1) is provided. The collapsible ladder comprises several ladder sections (5, 5a-5j), where each ladder section comprises two ladder tubes (10, 12) arranged parallel to each other and interconnected by the rung (20) to form the respective ladder section, and where each ladder tube (10, 12) is telescopically inserted into a ladder tube (10, 12) of a lower ladder section to form the collapsible ladder (1), the rung (20) comprising a main section (22), a first bracket section (24a) and a second bracket section (24b), wherein the first and second bracket sections (24a, 24b) are arranged at each end of the rung (20) to receive the respective ladder tube (10, 12). The rung (20) is characterized in that the main section (22) and the first and second bracket sections (24a, 24b) are provided as an integrated unit.
