The present invention relates to a foldable cable tray configured for ease of transportation and for storage. The foldable cable tray includes a first side rail, a second side rail, a plurality of rungs movably connected to the first and second side rails to transit the foldable cable tray between unfolded and folded positions, and a locking device configured to lock each of the plurality of rungs to the first and second side rails when the foldable cable tray is in the unfolded position.

A ladder having rungs hingedly affixed at both terminal ends to a stringer, the ladder operable to collapse across a lateral or widthwise axis spanned by the rungs, the ladder having hingedly affixed stringers operable to collapse on a lengthwise or longitudinal axis. In some embodiments, a cylindrical tube receives the fully collapsed ladder for stowing and porting.

A ceiling ladder having a plurality of sections that can be climbed by a user when in an unfolded position into an attic and that can be folded together into a retracted position to be stored above the ceiling. The ladder has a deep step, which has a width greater than the width of other steps of the ladder, in which is located between about 2-5 feet from the floor when the ladder is in the unfolded position so user can stand on the deep step in place objects into the attic without having to climb into the attic. A method. A deep step.

A multi-function ladder having a front section having a first front rail and a second front rail and rungs attached to and between the first front rail and the second front rail. The ladder having a rear section having a first rear rail and a second rear rail and rungs attached to and between the first rear rail and the second rear rail. The rear section having a telescoping section attached to the first rear rail and the second rear rail to vary a length of the rear section. The ladder having a first hinge attached to the first front rail and the first rear rail. The ladder having a second hinge attached to the second front rail and the second rear rail. Each hinge having a locked state and an unlocked state. The ladder having an actuator directly attached to the front section and remote and separate and apart from the first hinge and the second hinge. The actuator when actuated moving the first and second hinges between the locked state and the unlocked state. When the first and second hinges are in the unlocked state, the rear section can be moved between a leaning ladder mode, a step ladder mode, a stairway ladder mode and a straight ladder mode upon which each hinge goes into the locked state in the desired ladder mode. A method for using a multi-position ladder. A method for producing a multi-position ladder. An actuator for locking and unlocking a first hinge and second hinge of a ladder.

A collapsible ladder includes a first pair of legs and a second pair of legs, each of the first pair of legs and the second pair of legs is rotatably joined near tops thereof; a plurality of steps extending between one of the first pair of legs and one of the second pair of legs, each of the steps rotatably jointed about a mid-point thereof; a first vertical spar slidably connected to each of the steps near the mid-points thereof; a plurality of supports extending between a second one of the first pair of legs and a second one of the second pair of legs, each of the supports rotatably jointly about a mid-point thereof; and a second vertical spar slidably connected to each of the supports near the mid-points thereof. This configuration allows the ladder to be collapsed by raising the first and second vertical spars causing the steps and supports to fold about their mid-points permitting the first and second pair of legs to be generally folded/collapsed into a single column.

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 ladder having a first rail having a bottom and a web, a first flange attached to a first end of the web and a second flange attached to a second end of the web. The ladder having a second rail. The ladder having rungs attached to the first rail and second rail upon which a user steps to climb the ladder. The ladder having a foot having a plastic body with a recess which receives the end of the first rail and is positioned about and conforms to the web and the first and second flanges of the first rail. The foot has a plastic base having a top side from which the body extends. The base has an edge positioned about the body with perforations, and a rubber tread disposed along an underside of the base and extending through the perforations and along the edge on the top side of the base to form an overmolded portion of the tread that attaches the tread to the base without any mechanical or other types of fasteners. The rubber tread forms a bond with the underside of the base and the edge on the top side of the base. The foot for a bottom of a rail of a ladder. A method for placing a ladder. A method for producing a foot for a bottom of a rail of a ladder.
