Abstract There is provided a ladder clamp comprising an anchor part and a ladder retaining part. The anchor part is able to be arranged to co-operate with a fixing on a vehicle. The ladder 5 retaining part includes a body and a securing means. The securing means is co-operable with the anchor part to releaseably clamp thereto. The body is arrangeable to restrict the movement of a ladder in order to secure a portion of the ladder to the fixing on the vehicle. The securing means comprises a locking element that is able to pivot with respect to the body. In an un-clamped orientation the locking element does not restrict relative movement between 10 the anchor part and the ladder retaining part. In a clamped orientation the locking element clamps to the anchor part. Abutment between the locking element and body restricts movement of the ladder retaining part away from the anchor part. Because the ladder clamp does not employ a threaded connection, it is less prone to damage. 15 Moreover, the ladder retaining part can be quickly arranged on the anchor part and does not rely on a time consuming process of winding a nut down a length of thread. Thus, different sized ladders can be quickly and conveniently swapped on and off the vehicle. [Figure 4] Figure 1 (PRIOR ART) Figure 2 (PRIOR ART) Figure 3 (PRIOR ART) 32 y32 I| +-- 20
