Abrégé

A ladder stabilizing apparatus comprises a rail mount attachable to a ladder side rail and an auto-retracting belt assembly. The belt assembly comprises a rail interface connectable to the rail mount, a belt housing rotatable relative to the rail interface about a belt housing rotation axis, and a stabilizing belt extending from a belt first end to a belt second end. The belt first end is connected to the belt housing. The stabilizing belt is movable between a belt retracted position, in which the stabilizing belt is substantially wound within the belt housing, and a belt extended position, in which the stabilizing belt is at least partially unwound from the belt housing. The stabilizing belt is biased to the belt retracted position. The belt second end includes an environment anchor.

Abrégé

A ladder stabilizing apparatus includes a mount attachable to a ladder side rail, a retractable leg translatable relative to the mount between leg retracted and foot planted positions, a leg lock movable between leg locked and unlocked positions, a retractable ground anchor translatable between anchor retracted and ground embedded positions, an anchor lock movable between anchor locked and unlocked positions, and a pedal downwardly actuatable from a raised position to a depressed position. Downward actuation of the foot pedal comprises the leg translating relative to the mount towards the foot planted position, and the ground anchor translating relative to the leg towards the ground embedded position. In leg locked position, the leg lock inhibits translation of the leg relative to the mount towards the leg retracted position. In the anchor locked position, the anchor lock inhibits translation of the ground anchor relative to the leg toward the anchor retracted position.
