A system is provided for interconnecting a ladder to a vehicle. The system may include a first portion for interconnecting to an upper portion of a vehicle rear door and a second portion for interconnecting to a lower portion of the vehicle rear door. The system provides a ladder interconnection wherein no penetrations are made into the vehicle.

An agricultural implement including a stacking toolbar assembly. The stacking toolbar assembly includes a center toolbar, a center support beam, at least one pivot beam rotatably coupled to the center support beam at a first joint, at least one wing toolbar moveably coupled to the at least one pivot beam at a second joint, and an actuating system. The actuating system includes at least one first actuator coupled to the center support beam and the at least one pivot beam, and at least one second actuator coupled to the at least one pivot beam and the at least one wing toolbar. The at least one wing toolbar is moveable from a work position in which the at least one wing toolbar is substantially laterally aligned with the center toolbar and a transport position in which the at least one wing toolbar is stacked above the center toolbar.

An ATV rack for a pickup truck includes a pair of triangular braces, each secured to the upper edge of a truck bed sidewall, near the cab rear wall. Mounted on the braces is a storage grate formed of a fixed, horizontal front section, positioned above the cab roof, and a pivotal rear section. A free edge of the rear section can be lowered to load ATVs onto the grate and then raised to a horizontal position to transport the ATVs. The rear section may also be secured in a vertical, upright position to form an observation deck, or can be collapsed onto the front section to allow the cargo bed to be used for storage.

A ladder includes a pair of uprights, directed along a prevailing vertical direction. The uprights are connected to each other by at least one cross member, perpendicular to the uprights, directed along a transverse direction, perpendicular to the vertical direction. The cross member acts as a step of the ladder in which the uprights include coupling portions at the upper fixing ends. The coupling portions have two horizontal planes and a vertical joining rib, to present overall a C shape, and the coupling portions are provided with at least one fixing hole for inserting at least one fixing bolt of the ladder to an associable chassis.

A telescopic ladder system includes a lower base configured to be connected to a ladder-supporting portion of a vehicle, and a ladder including a base section and a fly section operatively connected to the base section and slidable relative thereto. A security railing is connected to a distal end of the fly section. At least one safety line is attached to the ladder. A first actuator selectively sets an inclination angle of the ladder relative to the lower base. A second actuator selectively extends the ladder by sliding the fly section relative to the base section. A safety system and a method for securing an operator atop a vehicle or van are also disclosed.

A lighted safety ladder includes two rails and a plurality of rib members connected to the two rails. A platform may be provided at one end of the ladder and is located above an uppermost one of the plurality of ribs. A light source is provided on one or both of the rails; one or more of the plurality of rib members; and one the platform. The light source may be in the form of a light emitting diode (LED) strip that is installed in a slot defined in the rails, the rib members or the platform or that is adhered or otherwise secured to the surface of the rail, rib member or platform. The light source provides illumination to the rails, rib members and/or platform so that an operator may better see these components in low lighting conditions.
