Abstract: A ladder levelling apparatus includes a ladder having a pair of side rails in spaced relation with a cross member extending the pair of side rails, a bracket affixed to the cross member, and a bar slidably received within the bracket so as to have ends of the bar respectively extending outwardly beyond the pair of side rails. A first foot and a second foot are respectively affixed to the ends of the bar. The bar is arch-shaped such that the ends are positioned below the bottom of the pair of side rails when the bar is centered relative to the side rails. A receptacle extends from the bracket suitable for receiving the bar therein.

Abstract: A ladder top has a top panel and a front side in which the front side has a generally V-shaped indentation formed therein. The front side extends downwardly from one side of the top panel. The ladder top has a back side extending downwardly from an opposite side of the top panel. The top panel has at least one recessed pan and a plurality of holes formed thereon. The front side has a plurality of ribs extending thereacross in spaced parallel relation.

Abstract: Systems and methods of marking ladders. In one embodiment, a method generally includes contacting a ladder portion with an image reverse printed on a paper sheet with at least one sublimation ink, and applying heat to the paper sheet such that at least a portion of the ink sublimates from the paper sheet into the ladder portion.

Abstract: A cover for an end of a ladder rail includes a shell and a tread. The shell comprises at least one material, whereas the tread comprises at least one other material. The shell is sized to engage the ladder rail. The tread is engaged with the shell at least partially by at least one bond, which comprises at least a portion of the shell and at least a portion of the tread.

Abstract: In combination with a ladder that comprises a pair of stiles connected by a plurality of spaced steps or rungs, a point of sale display placard is secured on the one of the steps or rungs. The placard includes a panel having first and second ends. A plurality of segments are formed at the first end, connected by folds to form an enclosure surrounding the rung. The portion of the placard adjacent the second end engages a portion of the ladder so that the panel remains generally parallel to the plane of the ladder.

Abstract: A protective ladder cap for fitting over the end of a rail of a ladder is provided. The cap has an open end for fitting over the rail and a closed end. The ladder cap has tapered internal ribs for engaging the end of a side rail of a ladder. The ladder caps prevent the ladder side rails from damaging the surface upon which the ladder leans when in use.
