Abstract
A ladder supported container including a bottom panel and an upstanding peripheral wall defining the interior of the container. A lip is disposed on the upstanding peripheral wall proximate to the top portion of the upstanding peripheral wall. The lip extends laterally outwardly from the upstanding peripheral wall and includes an outward facing rail contact surface. The lip typically further includes two pivot supports disposed at a position intermediate the rail contact surface of the lip and the first wall section of the container. The container further includes a U-shaped bracket disposed within the pivot supports. The bracket includes a rail engaging section disposed outwardly from the rail contact surface of the lip at a spaced apart lateral distance from the rail contact surface of the lip. The spaced apart distance defines a ladder rail receiving gap. The bracket is freely rotatable within the pivot supports from at least a first position where the bracket is supported by the lip to a second position where the bracket has rotated upwardly from the lip and the lateral distance between the bracket rail engaging section and the rail contact surface has shortened. In the second position, the bracket is able to pinch a ladder rail between the bracket rail engaging section and the rail contact surface of the lip.
