Little Giant Ladder Storage Rack

Purchased this item about a month ago for my 22 Little Giant Leveler which is about 68 Lbs. I would very much recommend this ladder rack for its storage of this weight of ladder. Mounting is straightforward, 16" center to center, wood screws included.

The Little Giant ladder rack is sturdy, with a good design for attaching to studs located 16" on center. Screw hole wells are located near all four corners of the rack, and it comes with four 2 1/2" long flat-head wood screws. The part of the rack that attaches to the wall (excluding the hooks) is 2" deep. The entire rack (including the hooks) sticks out 6 1/2" from the wall when mounted in position. The rack hooks provide 4 1/2" of actual hanging space between the front of the mounting brace that attaches to the wall and the curved part of the hooks. I bought this for a 22' Vulcan Type 1A multi-task ladder, and it works fine. When my multi-task ladder is in the storage position, four rungs end up side-by-side at each step. This is true for Vulcan, Werner and Little Giant multi-task ladders. The Little Giant rack hooks do not protrude far enough to hang all four side-by-side rungs on them at the same time, but they easily hold two of the four. This seems to be adequate for securing a fairly heavy ladder in place. On the plus side, the shallower depth of the hooks makes them less likely to get in the way when the rack is not holding a ladder. This might be important depending on how high off the floor you mount the rack, or if it is mounted in a place with heavy foot traffic nearby. The Little Giant ladder rack is an expensive way to hang a ladder, but the quality, style and design are excellent.
