An adapter for a ladder bracket support for a paint container includes a channel member having a central web portion flanked by a pair of side web portions. The central web portion is raised slightly with respect to the side web portions, and a curved tongue extends from a proximal end of the central web portion. A rectangular tube is secured to the bottom of the central web portion, extending generally perpendicularly downwardly. A locking pin extends laterally through aligned holes in the side walls of the channel portion. The curved tongue extends about a tubular member of a scaffolding, with the channel member extending outwardly and horizontally. The rectangular tube extends downwardly to engage a lower tubular member and maintain the channel member extending horizontally. The hook-end members of the ladder bracket extend adjacent the curved tongue and about the tubular scaffolding member on which the curved tongue rests, whereby the channel provides horizontal support for the ladder bracket while the hook-ends of the ladder bracket retain the adapter on the tubular scaffolding member. The locking pin retains the lateral portions of the hook-end member of the ladder bracket in the channel member. Thus the ladder bracket cannot be removed from the adapter, and the engagement of the hook-end members of the ladder bracket prevents removal of the assembly from the scaffolding.
