Provided is ladder having an extension leg movable longitudinally in first and second directions opposite one another, and a stabilizer arm pivotably coupled to and movable with the extension leg. The stabilizer arm is pivotable about an axis perpendicular to the first and second directions such that the stabilizer arm is rotated relative to the extension leg to contact a surface to stabilize the ladder in a sideways direction perpendicular to the first and second directions.

A pool ladder may have a first and second leg extension, each having a generally continuous profile; a first tread may comprise first and second through-holes, the first through-hole being sized to slidingly receive the generally continuous profile of the first leg extension, and the second through-hole being sized to slidingly receive the generally continuous profile of the second leg extension; and a first and second tread support. The first tread support may be engaged at a tread location on the first leg extension and may be separate from the first leg extension. The second tread support may be engaged at a tread location on the second leg extension and may be separate from the second leg extension. Each of the first and second tread supports may protrude from the respective leg extension a sufficient amount to prevent the first and second through-holes from sliding past the tread locations.

A step stabilizer leg is adjustable in both the angle and length of the leg. The legs are also individually adjustable to accommodate for uneven ground and are lockable and stowable with the step when it is not in use. A plate that mounts the stabilizer leg to the bottom of the step has multiple apertures that correspond to one of a few apertures adjacent to or integrated with the leg. This allows for the leg to be placed in different angles with respect to the step, including an angle that projects backwards towards the step assembly for situations when the bottom step is very close to the ground.

It is disclosed a nivellation device making it possible to place ladders horizontally on sloping ground. Such a device comprises a foundation (1) onto which there is secured/placed an elevated area (2), said elevated area (2) functioning as a fulcrum/see-sawing point for a plate (3) onto which plate (3) there may be placed or secured a ladder (I), and said plate 3 being equipped with securing devices (4) that may stay the position of the plate (3) in relation to the foundation (1). Additionally it is disclosed a tightening device for a wire that may be used for securing the nivellation device in a correct horizontal orientation and a device for ensuring that the ladder is not displaced in relation to a house wall.

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. The locking mechanism may include a base or bracket, a handle or lever pivotally coupled with the bracket, an engagement pin coupled with the lever, a biasing member to bias the handle towards a first position relative to the bracket, and a detent mechanism for retaining the lever in at least a second position relative to the bracket.

A ladder upon which a user climbs having a first rail. The ladder having a second rail. The ladder having rungs attached to the first and second rails upon which the user steps. The ladder having a first leveler attached to the first rail. The first leveler having a foot peg and a latch. When the user presses on the foot peg and the latch with the user's foot when the leveler is in an extended state, the first leveler moves into a retracted state. The ladder having a second leveler attached to the second rail. A method for a user to use a ladder. The method has the step of the user pushing with the user's foot against a foot peg and latch of a first leveler to cause the first leveler to move to a retracted state relative to a first rail of the ladder in which the first leveler is. There is the step of the user pushing only against the foot peg but not the latch with the user's foot when the leveler is in the retracted state causing the first leveler to move to an extended state relative to the first rail and be maintained in the extended state. A leveler which positively prevents inadvertent retraction of the leveler from an extended state to a retracted state. A ladder having a module with a first and second ladder leveler.

A folding leg for a stepladder is disclosed. The folding leg allows the width of the stepladder base to be narrowed when in the stored orientation and widened while in an in-use orientation.

The invention relates to a ladder stabiliser that obviates the existing requirement for a leaning ladder to be physically secured to a building and/or footed near the ground by a second person. The stabiliser comprises a base (12) for supporting, in use, both feet of a ladder (100); and upstanding walls (14, 16, 18, 20) defining an open-topped three-dimensional space for accommodating, and at least partially enclosing, the lower distal ends of a ladder (100) at a predetermined optimum angle of inclination. At least one wall (14, 16, 18, 20) extends above the height of the lowermost rung of an inclined ladder (100). A pivotable wall (18) is openable to allow the ladder (100) to be inserted and removed from the stabiliser. The stabiliser may be provided with removable ballast weights (30), and adjustable clamps (36).
