The present invention relates to at least a foldable step mounted within a cabinet or cupboard of varying heights and having a minimal folded profile. The foldable step has a pair of cross members secured in a horizontal orientation to the cupboard. The cross members are coupled to a pair of cupboard support members. The cupboard support members are rotatably coupled to two offset members that rotate vertical support members to reach the floor. The vertical support members hold a plurality of steps using other support members. The entire linkage structure pivotally or slidably folds into a minimal profile.

A ladder tray assembly for storing tools on a ladder includes a tray that may be removably coupled to a ladder. The tray has a plurality of first apertures extending therethrough to insertably receive an elongated tool for storage. The tray has a plurality of second apertures extending therethrough to insertably receive an elongated tool for storage. The tray has a plurality of wells therein to receive a container thereby inhibiting the container from sliding off of the tray. A panel is coupled to the tray and the panel frictionally engages a step on the ladder thereby retaining the tray on the ladder.

A working ladder capable of serving as a working platform, comprises a ladder frame body having a front portion and a top; and a step assembly. The step assembly comprises at least a bottom step and an upper step located above the bottom step; the rear shaft comprises a bottom rear shaft and an upper rear shaft; two movable auxiliary support rods capable of swinging up and down are disposed in the front portion of the ladder frame body; an auxiliary shaft for the rear end of the bottom step to rest on is horizontally disposed on the top of the ladder frame body; when the auxiliary support rods are in a downward position, the rear end of the bottom step rests on the lowermost bottom rear shaft; when the auxiliary support rods are in a upwardly position, the bottom step moves upwardly to the top of the ladder frame body, and meanwhile the rear end of the bottom step rests on the auxiliary shaft. The steps of the working ladder can be used as working platforms.
