Will this be sturdy and safe enough for a 40 ft Sears ladder?

Its the weight not the height of the ladder that is important. The extensions are heald in place by friction. I only put about 170 lbs on the ladder and had no problem.

I think that is an engineers question. But I would think so. Like the ladder it would have a weight limit. An additional ten feet of aluminum ladder can't add too much. If you feel safe on the forty foot ladder now I would try it adjusted fi a small grade first. If no sense of unsteadiness or excess movement I would probably not have any issues. But install it well.

Irregardless if it's a Sears or whatever brand name ladder, many are made by the same manufacturers anyway, but if it looks like the one in the picture then it will be able to adapt to it; after all, you are the one who drills the holes in the ladder in the correct place to mount it, and when you are doing that task and you do a good job doing it, then you yourself can see/feel if it will fit or not. As far as sturdy and safe, yes, my life and health feel quite safe when I'm on mine, and I think this device is adequate yes. You can feel it for yourself on yours when you do it. Yes I think the devices are very helpful, otherwise you can use single/multiple pieces of wood to accommodate the task instead. I chose this device for my largest ladders; to save $ on my smaller ft ladders I may fudge it more by using wood pieces on slightly uneven ground for the very few times I need them.

I think my ladder is 36 foot extention. This works well with this aluminum ladder. The only thing I would tell you is that it makes the ladder heavier because it is heavy metal compared to the ladder. It is best and safest solution for my property, better than using bricks or wood to prop up.

Quite sturdy for my daughter and son using the ladder, along with their school friends when visiting (elementary school age and with average weight). No adult has tried the ladder.

It's pretty sturdy. I've got 3 kids who climb all over it and it's held up well. I guess it would depend upon whether the gentleman sat down and put on his shoes, then got back up again, or if he used it as a stepstool to climb up to a higher shelf (partial-weight, stable mass -vs- full weight, moving mass). I would say -probably.-

Yes, it is fairly sturdy. Especially if weighted with items on the shelves. A flat screen should work.

If you attach it to the slide I think it would be stable. It was a good ladder but I returned it because it wasn't stable enough for our use.

I think it is sturdy enough, but check to see if the bar will go high enough. We have it for fun, not for gymnastics practice.

I don't believe I would recommend that. It is more for situations when there is something supporting the ladder from behind, such as a house elevation, etc. I probably would not do well with nothing supporting it from behind.

My husband and I have both used this ladder a time or two. At the time I was 160 and he was 150 and it held just fine. So yes it felt sturdy. I have no idea how it will hold up to repeated use at that weight load. Also be aware that the ladder will move and swing as he climbs.

i am not really sure it is sturdy. i don't see why you should have a problem. good luck

This is not a super sturdy product. That being said, I think it could hold a 40" flat screen. As long as there are not pets or kids in the home that could run into it.

This ladder is solid and wel constructed. If you use this ladder per the instructions and with common sense you will be fine.

I wouldn't doubt it. Load it balanced and should be fine. Even the extended arms are pretty sturdy. Add a clothes line on a tree and you're golden.

I have, and it seems to be safe enough, you should though, take into consideration the weight limits in the spec's if it is shown in them.This has been a really handy ladder, which I have used a lot since I purchased it.

Sure is. We tied to the ladder handles. Also bought a anchor it worked well

simple no,, you could jerryrig it but it would be unsafe and unwise it is designed for extension ladders

I have tested the bars on the ladder and they are very sturdy. The ladder is very well built and screws into the side of the bed.

It is very sturdy and as long as the pattern matches and the weight works I wouldn't see a problem. I had my 150 lb son hang on mine before I put my TV on it...he has legs to break the fall, TV does not. It did not budge.
