Multipurpose ladder attachment

A multipurpose ladder attachment system for attaching to a ladder, the multipurpose ladder attachment system comprising;

• at least two multipurpose ladder attachments attached in tandem to opposing legs of the ladder, each of the multipurpose ladder attachments comprising:
• a bracket plate having an upper edge, a lower edge and a central region disposed between the upper and lower edges, the bracket plate comprising:
• a tapered slot extending from the upper edge toward the central region of the bracket plate, the tapered slot having a first width at the upper edge and a second width in the central region, wherein the first width is greater than the second width;
• a hole disposed in the central region of the bracket plate and connected to the tapered slot;
• a pair of upper apertures disposed between the upper edge and the central region of the bracket plate, the pair of upper apertures spaced apart from each other by a distance that is greater than a width of the legs of the ladder;
• and
• a pair of lower apertures disposed between the lower edge and the central region of the bracket plate, the pair of lower apertures spaced apart from each other by a distance greater than the width of the legs of the ladder;
• an upper U-bolt having ends passing through the pair of upper apertures;
• a lower U-bolt having ends passing through the pair of lower apertures;
• one or more upper fasteners for attaching to the ends of the upper U-bolt;
• one or more lower fasteners for attaching to the ends of the lower U-bolt;
• and
• wherein the upper and lower U-bolts are operable to be disposed around one of the legs of the ladder, and the upper and lower fasteners are operable to tighten down against the bracket plate to pull the upper and lower U-bolts against one of the legs of the ladder, thereby securing the multipurpose ladder attachment to the ladder,
• wherein the tapered slots in the bracket plates of the opposing multipurpose ladder attachments form a cradle in which a section of pipe or conduit may be supported on the ladder, and
• wherein the holes in the central region of the bracket plates of the opposing multipurpose ladder attachments are operable to receive a section of pipe or rod on which spools of wire may be supported on the ladder.
