Not sure what this is, I have two of them. They are about 2 1/2 feet tall and it has a pivot point at the top, It can basically lay flat. The smaller part on the right is adjustable up or down to each of the notches you see.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

It's a ladder jack, if you are painting the outside of a house and have two ladders and two ladder jacks, you attach a ladder jack to each ladder and then you can place a scaffold on the ladder jacks, now you work between the ladders.

Thanks for the info. Had to search some photos to see how the actually worked. All makes sense now.
