Abstract: A ladder support system includes a support arrangement affixed to a ladder at a first end. The support arrangement includes a proximal link coupled between the ladder and a distal link. The distal link includes a distal end configured to engage an upper surface of a structure such as a building or house in a secure manner to thereby secure the ladder thereto. The ladder support system may include an actuator arrangement configured to move the support system between a retracted and extended orientation. In another construction, the support system is configured to be selectively removable from the ladder as desired.
