A ladder for a flat bed truck which is movably secured to one side of the flat bed truck. The ladder is selectively movable between a horizontally disposed stowed position beneath one side of the flat bed of the flat bed truck to an upstanding position outwardly of the one side of the flat bed of the truck.

A crane includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body that is turnably provided on the lower traveling body, a counterweight that is mounted on the upper turning body, and a ladder for getting on and off the upper turning body. The ladder has an engagement member that is able to be engaged with and disengaged from an engaged portion provided at the upper turning body, a support portion that supports the engagement member, and a following mechanism that is interposed between the engagement member and the support portion. When the engaged portion in a state of being engaged with the engagement member is moved downward with work of mounting the counterweight, the following mechanism causes the engagement member to follow downward movement of the engaged portion.

A boat or recreational vehicle ladder apparatus is provided. One aspect of the present ladder apparatus includes an elongated extension handle including a slot adjacent a lower end thereof. Another aspect of a boat or recreational vehicle ladder apparatus provides a snap-on step tread which can be mounted to a dual-tubular ladder step structure. Another aspect of a boat or recreational vehicle ladder apparatus employs a laterally expandable ladder step which can be retrofit onto an existing ladder. A further aspect employs clasps or hooks to attach and retain a ladder step to generally vertical ladder rails in a tool-free and fastener-free manner.

A hang ladder is removably mounted to a trailer by a pair of mounting brackets that are attached to the ladder's side rails. The mounting brackets have a body and an arm with a fixed width slot extending between their upper sections and with a flared end at the open end of the slot. The slot is skewed relative to the longitudinal base of the bracket, and the rub rail of a flatbed trailer fits within the slot so that the ladder is secured to the rub rail on the side of the trailer. A tapered end of the arm can produce the flare in the end of the slot.
