A bracket assembly is disclosed to secure a cable bundle to a ladder rung. The bracket assembly includes a metal bracket and protective grommets. The metal bracket has a first member, side walls and second members. The first member of the metal bracket is parallel to the second members of the metal bracket. The protective grommets are secured to the metal bracket. The protective grommets have a base member, sleeves extending from the base member, a side member and a bottom member. The assembled metal bracket and protective grommets receive the ladder rung and the sleeves of the protective grommets wrap around the cable bundle positioned on the ladder rung to secure the cable bundle.

A brace for use with a step ladder has a platform that resists shear forces and two runners. The runners are one located opposed sides of the platform and configured to fit over the unfolded struts of a step ladder. In use, a brace as described above is placed with its runners fitting over, and resting on, the struts of a step ladder. The brace stabilizes the ladder, helps prevent injury to the struts if the ladder falls over and may also force distorted struts into a better alignment. Optionally, the platform may also provide one or more surfaces for supporting tools, for example by way of a sliding shelf. Optionally, a separate tool shelf may be attached at the top of a step ladder.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a paint bucket holder allowing the painter to use the paint bucket panel at any height while maintain enough quantity of two types of paints. The paint bucket: holder is kept at upright position with two separate portions for receiving brushes. The brushes compartment is magnetic in nature to ensure that brushes are kept erected while not in use. The paints can he covered and locked, furthermore assembly can be clipped to any part of ladder thus it is universal in nature. The whole construction is highly portable and ladder can be easily moved while bucket: is attached.

Ladders, ladder components and related methods are provided. In some embodiments, adjustable stepladders are provided which include locking mechanisms that enable height adjustment of the ladder through application of a force towards the rails of the ladder. In other embodiments, spreader mechanisms are provided with cross bracing located and configured to provide additional stability to the ladder while also incorporating a handle that enables efficient collapsing of the ladder while reducing the potential of pinching ones hands or fingers. In another embodiment, a device is provided for selective coupling with the ladder that includes a support or safety rail and an adjustable tray. The device may be coupled with the ladder in a number of different positions including a stowed position. In another embodiment, a hinge assembly is provided having a magnetic component configured to be magnetically coupled with and temporarily store an object on the ladder.

The invention is directed broadly to a ladder having a fall control system, comprising: a ladder; a tensioner mounted towards a bottom end of the ladder; a mount mounted towards a top end of the ladder; a cable that extends from the tensioner and over the mount in a looped configuration; and an arrestor movably engaged with the cable for coupling a user to the cable, wherein the tensioner has a locked configuration for holding tension on the cable to support a weight of the user and an open configuration for allowing the cable to pass through the tensioner.

A ladder and tool kit combination is described. The ladder and tool kit combination uses a tool kit concealed underneath the ladder. The ladder can open and close with the tool kit still attached. The tool kit may have an opening for electronic media from which the user may receive audio and/or video repair instructions while the ladder is in use.
