A ladder securement device for securing a ladder to a building structure includes an elastic cord with first and second attachment hooks for attaching to gutter screws or other structural attachment points. First and second straps are slidably attached to the elastic cord to allow positioning of the straps adjacent to a rail or rung of a ladder. The straps include connection tabs and sockets to allow the straps to be attached around the rail or rung, and an adjustment slot or buckle to allow the straps to be tightened snugly to the rail or rung. With the attachment hooks attached to the structure and the straps attached to the rail or rung of a ladder, the ladder is secured to the structure to prevent the ladder from slipping or tipping.

The invention provides a coupling device (1), for a ladder having a bore in a headstock (4) extending between a pair of spaced apart styles, the coupling device (1) comprising: an elongate support member (6) having a mounting region (8) and a working region (7), the mounting region (8) configured to be received within the bore of the ladder to engage therewith, the working region (7) being configured to protrude from the bore and to receive and support a plurality of utility modules; and a releasable detent (9) to secure the elongate support member (6) within the bore, wherein the mounting region (8) is restrained from rotational movement relative to the bore, and the releasable detent (9) prevents longitudinal and transverse movement between the elongate support member (6) and the bore. The coupling device (1) of the invention provides a flexible ladder assembly that is adaptable to variable work environments encountered at the top of a portable ladder when used for access and conducting work.

A ladder attachment may allow a ladder to securely rest on a corner of a structure, structure corners, tree, or the like. The attachment may be attached to the rung of a ladder via several mounting brackets and mounting flanges. The attachment includes first and second arms which may be arranged at about a 90° angle to allow the positioning a ladder on the corner of the structure or oddly shaped structures during use.

A ladder stabilizer for step ladders and extension ladders. The ladder stabilizer is collapsible for storage. Additionally, the ladder stabilizer includes legs that are adjustable in length and pivotally secured to a rigid lateral support. The rigid lateral support also carries a step plate secured by a hinge to the lateral support. The step plate provides the point of engagement between the ladder stabilizer and a rung of the ladder.

A cargo trailer ladder assembly for safely entering or exiting a cargo trailer includes a pair of load locks that is each extendable between walls of a cargo trailer for securing cargo in the cargo trailer. A ladder is included that has a plurality of engagement points thereon. Each of the load locks is positionable in respective ones of the engagement points for storing the load locks with the ladder. The ladder is positionable to engage the cargo trailer to facilitate a user to safely climb into or out of the cargo trailer. A strap is removably coupled to the ladder and the strap can be slung over the user's shoulder for carrying the ladder.

A safety ladder for mounting between a support surface and a ground surface includes two support assemblies and parallel step members pivoted between the support assemblies. Each support assembly includes first and second support rods each having upper and lower ends. The upper ends of the first support rods of the support assemblies are configured to be pivoted to the support surface. The safety ladder is movable between a use position, in which the lower ends of the first and second support rods of the support assemblies are adapted to simultaneously contact the ground surface, and a storage position, in which the first and second support rods stand substantially perpendicular relative to the ground surface.

A ladder safety mechanism comprises at least one clamp, preferably a pair of spaced apart clamps, attachable part way along a ladder, to secure the ladder to part of a structure. In some embodiments, the mechanism includes at least one manually operated actuator, such as a rope or cable, coupled to the at least one clamp to enable a user located at the bottom of the ladder to open the at least one clamp to receive the part of a structure. In some embodiments, the at least one clamp is automatically secured to the part of the structure by placing the clamp onto the structure. The at least one manually operated actuator also enables a user located at the bottom of the ladder to open the at least one clamp to release the part of the structure. The at least one clamp is oriented substantially perpendicularly to a part of the structure to which the ladder is to be attached.
