A stabiliser (10, fig. 1), for attachment to a base of a ladder, including a housing 16 containing arms 18, 20 which slide between a retracted and deployed position. When deployed the arms extend laterally beyond the stiles 12, 14 of the ladder while being held firmly by the housing, and when retracted the arms lie adjacent one another within the housing in an at least partially overlapping relationship. The arms may be telescopic. The arms may be lockable in a retracted position or at different degrees of extension. The locking mechanism may comprise a resiliently biased locking pin for engaging within a hole (32, fig. 5). The stabiliser may have at least one height adjustable foot 22, 24 extending from at least one arm. |
