Abstract
A ladder cage is provided. The ladder cage includes opposite first and second sidewalls each extending parallel to a longitudinal axis. Spaced apart brackets are coupled to one of the sidewalls. Spaced apart rollers extend between the sidewalls. The rollers are each rotatable relative to the sidewalls along a rotation axis that extends transverse to the longitudinal axis. The rollers and inner surfaces of the brackets and the sidewalls define a housing configured for disposal of a ladder.
Claims19
A ladder cage comprising:
- opposite first and second sidewalls each extending parallel to a longitudinal axis;
- a roller having a first end that extends through the first sidewall and a second end that extends through the second sidewall, the roller being rotatable relative to the sidewalls along a rotation axis that extends transverse to the longitudinal axis;
- spaced apart brackets that are each coupled to one of the sidewalls;
- and
- an end stop coupled to the sidewalls, the end stop comprising first and second side panels that extend parallel to the longitudinal axis and an end panel that extends between and connects the first side panel and the second side panel,
- wherein inner surfaces of the sidewalls and the panels define a housing configured for disposal of a ladder.

A ladder cage comprising:
- first and second sidewalls, inner surfaces of the sidewalls facing one another to define a channel therebetween, the channel extending along a channel axis from first ends of the sidewalls to second ends of the sidewalls;
- an end stop including first and second side panels that are each coupled to the second end of one of the sidewalls and an end panel that extends from the first side panel to the second side panel such that the channel axis intersects the end panel, inner surfaces of the panels defining a cavity, the channel and the cavity being configured for disposal of a ladder;
- and
- a roller having a first end that extends through the first sidewall and a second end that extends through the second sidewall, the roller being rotatable relative to the sidewalls along a rotation axis that extends transverse to the channel axis.
