Abstract: A hang ladder is removably mounted to a trailer by a pair of mounting brackets that are attached to the ladder's side rails. The mounting brackets have a body and an arm with a fixed width slot extending between their upper sections and with a flared end at the open end of the slot. The slot is skewed relative to the longitudinal base of the bracket, and the rub rail of a flatbed trailer fits within the slot so that the ladder is secured to the rub rail on the side of the trailer. A tapered end of the arm can produce the flare in the end of the slot.

Abstract: A locking device is provided which includes a body comprising a tube with a bore and a longitudinally-extending flange with a plurality of shackle receivers. The bore is adapted to slideably receive an elongate member, such as a load binder handle. The body is secured to a second member, for example a load binder connector or a load chain link, by a padlock including a case and a shackle receivable in a respective shackle receiver. With the padlock in its locked position, the elongate member and the second member are secured together.
