A configurable ladder system that can be configured into any of a plurality of different ladder configuration modes and methods for manufacturing and using same. The configurable ladder system includes at least one side rail and at least one support member and can be configured into any of a plurality of different ladder configuration modes. Each support member is disposed on a relevant side rail or on an optional adjustable rail. Depending upon a selected ladder configuration mode of the configurable ladder system, two or more of the support members can be configured to engage respective support regions within an intended work environment of the configurable ladder system. Thereby, the configurable ladder system advantageously can be readily adapted for use within a wide range of different purposes within a large number of a different work environments while enhancing user safety.

A ladder that is foldable and collapsible. The ladder includes a first side rail and a second side rail that are spaced apart from one another by a plurality of rungs extending between the first and second side rails. The rungs may be pivotably coupled to the first and second side rails. The ladder is foldable between a plurality of configurations and the ladder is collapsible rail-to-rail.

A container assembly or paint container assembly with an integral scraper and brush holder configured to hold a brush, wipe excess paint from the brush or bristles, and suspend the container assembly, is disclosed. The container assembly comprises a liquid holding portion, a scraper member, one or more brush holders, a first handle member, and a second handle member. The liquid holding portion comprises a rectangular base and at least four upright walls extend flaringly from the base. The scraper member comprises a plurality of ribs protruding from an inner side of at least one upright wall and the brush holders are disposed at an inner side of at least two upright walls. The first handle member hingedly attached to an upper portion of the opposing upright walls, and the second handle member extends from an opposite end of at least one upright wall, exteriorly.

Disclosed is a ladder safety device for use with step ladders. The ladder safety device has an upper portion for projecting over the top case of a step ladder, a middle bend, and a lower section provided with (1) a securing clip to secure the ladder safety device to the top case, (2) a solid section blocking use of the top step, and (3) an at least one additional securing and tamper-detection device to secure the ladder safety device to the ladder while discouraging tampering by providing evidence of tampering. The ladder safety device has an upper section (105), an upper section handle (110), a section bend (115), a lower section (120), a top cap clip gap (125), an at least one top cap clip (130), an at least one lower section tamper seal securing tab (135), an at least one lower section securing bar structure (140), an at least one side rail overlapping tab (145), an at least one lower section rung clip (150), an at least one lower section rung tab (155), a ladder safety device securing bar (160) and an least one lower section tamper seal structure (165).
