ABSTRACT:
A ladder rack system which allows a contractor to locate elongated articles alongside the contractor's ladder while the materials are easily accessible to the contractor at work level, yet the elongated articles are not subject to being carried off by wind. A support member is bucket-like, having a bottom wall and sideways at the rectilinear periphery of the bottom wall for captively receiving the end of elongated articles. A pair of mutually spaced apart rung hooks are connected with each of two opposing sidewalls of the support member for hookably interfacing simultaneously with two rungs of an extension ladder in a selectively removable manner at either side rail of the ladder. At least one rectilinear bracket member has a rung hook for hookably interfacing with a rung of a ladder at either side rail thereof. A boss bracket portion partially occludes an opening of the bracket member. The location of the support member and the spacing of the bracket members is consonant with the length and weight of the elongated articles and the work location on the ladder so that the contractor (or another user) is enabled to easily grab and remove a selected elongated article from the ladder rack system through the opening in the bracket members in rapid response to job progress. An auxiliary ladder rack system may optionally be provided.
