A stepladder including a pair of front rails, a pair of second rails, a top cap, a fixed step, and a spreader mechanism. The spreader mechanism includes a platform pivotably mounted to the pair of front rails, spreader arms pivotably mounted to the pair of rear rails , and spreader pivot. The stepladder is moveable between a closed position and an open position, the open position limited by the spreader mechanism.

A safety step ladder is formed of a climb leg and a support leg, and includes a specialized hinging arrangement to attach the support leg to the climb leg at a location below the midpoint of the climb leg such that the top portion of the climb leg somewhat overhangs the support leg. The specialized hinging arrangement is also configured so that the support leg is raised upward when closing against the climb leg (ensuring that in the closed position the support leg does not extend below the climb leg), providing a compact configuration for storage purposes.

Herein disclosed is a platform apparatus which attaches to the top of a conventional ladder or extension ladder, and a wheeled apparatus which attaches to said ladder, thus forming a single composite apparatus. Said composite apparatus can then operate as a cart for transporting itself, equipment and other loads to and from usage locations, and said composite apparatus can operate as an elevated platform when attached to a tree or similar elevated surface.

A ceiling ladder having a plurality of sections that can be climbed by a user when in an unfolded position into an attic and that can be folded together into a retracted position to be stored above the ceiling. The ladder has a deep step, which has a width greater than the width of other steps of the ladder, in which is located between about 2-5 feet from the floor when the ladder is in the unfolded position so user can stand on the deep step in place objects into the attic without having to climb into the attic. A method. A deep step.

A scaffolding system is defined by a first primary platform connected to a first cantilevered ladder, a second primary platform connected to a second cantilevered ladder, and a work platform extending between and connected to the first and second primary platforms.

A ladder foot support apparatus for creating a larger area to support a user's feet includes a base having a base outer side with a pair of parallel slots extending from a base top side through a base bottom side. The pair of slots is configured to receive a rail of a ladder. An upper face of a platform is coupled to the base bottom side and perpendicularly extends away from a base inner side. A lip is coupled to the platform and has a perpendicular portion extending down from a back edge and a return portion curving back up towards a lower face of the platform. The return portion is configured to selectively receive a rung bottom edge of a rung of the ladder.

The ceiling tile ladder attachment device holds ceiling tiles while a user is working on a ladder to install or replace the tiles in the ceiling, in addition to storing tiles that have to be removed from the ceiling and held for re-installation after performing other maintenance above the tiles. The ceiling tile ladder attachment device includes a rectangular wire rack that attaches to the back side of a ladder. The wire rack has a hook part on the back side. The hook part preferably attaches to the wire rack in two places to prevent the wire rack from swinging or slipping on the ladder. The hook part includes adjustable hook points for different styles and sizes of step ladders. The user can attach the ceiling tile ladder attachment device to the backside of the ladder using the hook part.

An auxiliary platform for a ladder step. The auxiliary platform may include a substantially rectangular and horizontally oriented platform with a platform front negative edge and a platform rear edge hem. The auxiliary platform may further include a substantially flat front surface with a front surface flanged rearward-extending edge, the front surface flanged from the platform front negative edge. Additionally, the auxiliary platform a bracing surface flanged from and extended downward from the platform rear edge hem and oriented substantially parallel to the front surface, and a biasing member removably connected to the bracing surface. When the platform is placed on the ladder step and the biasing member biased against the ladder step and the bracing surface to secure the auxiliary platform to the ladder step.
