Roof ladder support device and methods of use

Abstract

A device and related methods of use may be used to aid in supporting an individual, equipment, or tools from a ladder or similar device or independently. The device may be removably attached to the ladder or similar device and may, optionally, further optionally at least partially rest against a roof. When a user, such as a firefighter, needs to be on a roof, such as when cutting steep angle roof ventilation holes or vertical ventilation holes, the user may stand or apply force or weight or rest equipment at least partially on the device. The device may provide a larger or more stable area for supporting the firefighter or equipment than with conventional and currently available methods and tools. The device may also optionally be lockable to a ladder, may have gripping features or surfaces, and may be configured to retain tools such as saws or roofhooks.
