Shovel and Little Giant Carrier

[SlowernOlder]

Made up this shovel mount and carrier for my Little Giant step ladder. Room to hang a couple of folding chair too.

Nice Design! Is the Mule bracket the only attachment point?

Yes

so the brkt with the word built, is what your 8020 multi function brkt is attached to? i think 8020 sells some caps for the ends of the extrusion , if you were going down that path. nice work.

I bought the pieces from McMaster Carr, yes I see the end caps. Started out as a shovel mount and evolved into the carrier. Nice thing about the 80/20 is the endless possibilities.

Here's what I came up with. It also opened up half of the propane compartment since I now only carry one small tank in the compartment as a backup. I had most of the aluminum on hand but paid dearly for the Power Tank brackets. There are actually two racks. One mounted to the corner jack bracket and frame, the other sits on the back bumper and folds down to remove the step ladder and then it's a nice shelf at the back porch. (too many beers have fell off the back bumper without it). The ladder slips/locks on the wood block "hitch" below the bumper and will swing up for shorter situations. The aluminum channel on the left side of the bumper evens out the height of the steps into the doorway,
