Over The Top Ladder

Introducing Over The Top Ladder (OTTL), a patented, new generation specialty ladder that is one of the first curved ladders ever developed. While being both lightweight and compact, Over The Top Ladder is a telescopic, bow-shaped ladder with cushioned padding and adjustable footing. Originally created to address the needs of the auto/transportation industry by solving problems such as safely accessing the top of larger vehicles (SUVs, RVs and buses, etc.) the OTTL has numerous other applications including reaching obstructed areas and is useful in administering building/home repairs, indoor and outdoor cleaning, maintenance and industrial builds.The revolutionary configuration enables the reach to extend further from the base, on which the footing of the ladder rests. Our design works with gravity to naturally use the users body weight to ground the ladder. This helps prevent tip-overs, making OTTL safer than traditional ladders. Due to its adaptable and versatile design, OTTL can be marketed to the business, consumer and government markets. In addition, our plan is to sell to wholesalers and distributors worldwide.

Larry D. Mickens

Inventor
Larry “stumbled” upon the idea for Over The Top Ladder as a result of an accident. One day, while standing in a slippery doorjam cleaning the roof of his SUV, Larry’s foot slipped and he hit his chin on the roof. As he gathered himself, he thought there must be a better way. That is when Larry had his “ah-ha moment” and envisioned one of the first curved ladders. Larry has taken his idea from a design scribbled on a napkin, to being granted three U.S. patents and producing working prototypes of his unique ladder.
