Ladder-mounted scaffolding

[Valts]

Hi specialists!

I found a picture once from this forum and interested of those ladder-mounted scaffolding that are used out there. I am sure someone can tell me how these are really called and where you can buy these. I havent seen something like that here in Northern-Europe.
They sure look interesting and real easy to use. Hope they are also adjustable for different ladders and stairs?



I could not find the original source of the picture, hope that the owner dont mind that I use it.

all the best,
Valts

They are called ladder jacks. Can be picked up at most hardware stores over here. Not sure about across the pond where you are though. Maybe check EBay

Thanks!

Now I know hat to search! No problem with buying these from US, logistics and shipping is easy nowadays.

Maybe you can suggest any good makes and models?

Just an FYI
The way the guys in the PIC have them set up is common, but it is wrong.
They should be on the bottom side of the ladder.
That way you don't have to climb over them to get to the plank.
It is a little harder to put the plank on them this way since you have to thread it through the little triangle hole but it is worth it.

Overhang doesn't permit them to be used on the backside.

If it's wrong, you better tell Werner to contact their lawyers.

When they did the roof on my house in 2006, they had them on the Outside of the ladders, but used an additional ladder to actually access the platform, not the ladders with the platform attached.
