A ladder tree stand comprises a ladder, a platform carriage multi-pivotably coupled to the ladder, and a platform movably coupled to the platform carriage. A hinge comprises a first post and a male hinge node extending therefrom, and a second post and a female hinge node extending therefrom. The male hinge node and the female hinge node are configured to mate together and to cooperate to pivot relative to each other about a first axis, prevent substantial rotation of the first post relative to the second post about a second axis, and limit a pivotal range of motion between the first post and the second post. A foldable ladder comprises a first runged section, a second runged section, and a hinge pivotally coupling the first runged section to the second runged section.

A gate assembly may include a gate which includes a first end and a second end, one or more hinges coupled to the first end of the gate, wherein at least one of the one or more hinges includes an offset spring assisted hinge including a hinge rivet, a spring, a plunger, a hinge bolt, and a support tube, a stop coupled to the second end of the gate and configured to contact a stop mounting bracket, and a mounting bracket attached to the one or more hinges, wherein the gate is rotatably coupled to the mounting bracket via the one or more hinges.

A ladder is revealed. A sliding rail is formed on a surface of one side of each of two ladder poles of a ladder body. At least one sliding block is mounted and sliding in the sliding rail of the ladder pole. An assembly member is arranged between the sliding blocks of the ladder poles. A ring on user's safety clothing is set on the center of the assembly member and connected to the assembly member during climbing. When the user falls off the ladder accidentally, the sliding blocks connected to the assembly member are also pulled so that the sliding blocks are inclined an angle and the braking end within the sliding rail is against the wall of the sliding rail for braking and slip resistance. Thereby the descending is slowed down and the ladder safety during climbing is improved.

A strand grab for a ladder having a hook assembly, a gate assembly engaged with the hook assembly and a biasing spring. The biasing spring produces a return biasing force which is less than a weight force of the ladder when the hook assembly rests on the strand allowing the gate assembly to close with the hook assembly and squeeze the strand between the gate assembly and the hook assembly in a closed position and hold the ladder in place with the strand. A ladder for use with a strand having a first rail and a second rail. The first rail has a first strand grab directly attached to the first rail and the second rail has a second stand grab directly attached to the second rail. A method for using a ladder. A method for making a ladder.

An accessory for a ladder rail with a rung having a housing to be removably and fixedly attached to the rail. The accessory having an elongate member attached to the housing and extending beyond the housing. The accessory having a first locking assembly attached to the housing having a lock state which locks the housing to the rail, and an unlocked state which unlocks the housing from the rail so the housing is able to be removed from the rail. A method for attaching an accessory to a ladder rail with a rung. A ladder having an accessory for leaning against an edge, such as a roof.

A ladder safety device configured to be secured to the edge of roof to prevent a ladder leaned against it from sliding sideways or falling away from the roof edge. The ladder safety device comprises a generally flat, planar inner body portion comprising a first inner horizontal rail and vertical rails spaced from one another to define a plurality of large hand-grip openings between them. The ladder safety device further includes an outer body portion comprising a second horizontal rail spaced vertically from the first horizontal rail and connected thereto by outer portions of the vertical rails. Fastener holes formed along inner ends of the vertical rails can be used to secure the device to a roof, and projecting outer fingers define a ladder recess on an outer edge of the outer body portion. The ladder safety device is installed with the outer horizontal rail and portions of the vertical rails and the hand-grip openings spaced outwardly from the roof edge to provide a hand grip.

A frame releasably fixable to a ladder for attaching a mast to the ladder, the frame comprising two sub-frames, each sub-frame comprising two legs, each leg including a stud receiving notch and a support bar at one end thereof, the stud receiving notch for limiting rotation of the sub-frame relative to the ladder, with the frame in place on a ladder and the stud receiving notch engaged with a stud provided on the side of the ladder, the support bar for resting on a surface of the ladder, in use, the two sub-frames releasably attachable to one another at the other end thereof to form a socket for receiving the structural mast.

A stabilizer apparatus has a mounting frame that mounts onto a ladder so as to be longitudinally slidable along the rails of the ladder. Stabilizer legs are pivotally supported on the mounting frame between a stored position in which the legs are supported alongside the mounting frame and a working position protruding outwardly from the mounting frame. A screw clamp type retaining mechanism selectively prevents longitudinal displacement of the mounting frame relative to the ladder for stabilising the ladder while in the working position of the legs.
