The invention presented is a ladder blocking device attached to a ladder to prevent unauthorized use of the ladder. In one embodiment, the device includes a plurality of prongs that extends from a support system that holds the device onto the ladder. In one alternate embodiment, a shield rests over and is supported by the prongs. In second alternate embodiment, the shield is attached directly to the support system without the presence of the prongs.

An apparatus used to assist workers with entry into a barge that allows a user to go over the barge wall and descend to access the bottom of the barge. The apparatus includes a first pathway 3, a landing 17 and a second pathway 4. The first pathway 3 has a low end 21 and a high end 22 and the second pathway has a landing end 23. The high end 22 is elevated from the low end 21 with the high end 22 being attached to the landing 17. The landing end 17 is attached to the landing. There is a frame 18 and at least one foot 2 attached to and supporting the frame 18. The low end 21 is attached to the frame 18. Included is a support segment 16 that has a first end 25 and a second end 24. The first end 25 is fixedly attached to the second pathway 4. There is also a holder 7 that is rotatably attached to the second end 24. And a ladder 6 that is slidably attached to that holder 7.

An multi-position ladder is disclosed that includes an adjustable top cap that provides a tool or material tool tray when the ladder is in a stepladder position and provides a step when the ladder is in an extension ladder position is disclosed. The top cap generally comprises a rigid frame extending between the adjustable hinges of the multi-position ladder with a tool or utility tray and a step surface on opposing sides. The tool tray is parallel to the ladder rungs when the ladder is in a stepladder position, and the step surface provides a generally planar surface parallel the rungs when the ladder is in an extension position. The rigid frame of the top cap adds strength to the adjustment hinge and to the multi-position ladder. Embodiments allow for 12-inch hinge spacing, adding one foot reach in the extension position and six inch reach to the stepladder.

An apparatus includes front and back legs and a top cap that is pivotally coupled to the front legs along a first lateral axis and pivotally coupled to the back legs along a second lateral axis. The top cap has a front edge, a back edge, and a top surface available for use as a seat. The first lateral axis is closer to the front edge than the second lateral axis, and the first lateral axis is spaced further from the front edge than the second lateral axis is spaced from the back edge. The apparatus further includes a stabilizer secured to the top cap between the front edge and the first lateral axis, wherein the stabilizer extends in a downward direction from the top cap for engaging a countertop and/or a recess in the countertop, such as a sink. The stabilizer optionally includes a clamp for gripping the countertop.

A ladder and ladder accessory are provided including an accessory that may be coupled to the ladder in multiple configurations and serve multiple purposes. In one embodiment, a pair of components are each selectively coupled with associated rails of a ladder in a first, stored state, and a second, walkthrough state. When in the walkthrough state, the components extend upwards from and above the rails so that a user may gasp the components and step between the components when transitioning from the ladder to an elevated surface (e.g., a roof) or vice versa. In another embodiment, the components may be coupled to the ladder such that they extend in a direction that is substantially transverse to a plane through which the rails extend. When in this transverse orientation, the components may be used as a stand-off device.
