Hi All - Does anyone know the best way or what type of bracker/hanger
to hang a heavy duty extension ladder (12ft closed, weighs around 50lbs
+) on a garage wall which is sheet rock. The only thing I came across
are these types of hangers (see link), but they don't seem to give
much support. These would presumably just go in the sheet rock because
I could not manually screw these into a stud and I would be afraid
they would tear out over time and come crashing down on my auto. Any
other recommendations would be most appreciated.

Thanks for all your help. :)
Regards.

I'm sure you can find something similar designed for an extension ladder.
You do need to locate the studs in the wall, and attach them in the center

Thanks RBM....I guess I would need to locate & install on studs for
anything that heavy. Thanks for the advice. :)

Uh, drill a pilot hole?

First, there is no reason you can't screws the brackets in the link
into a stud. That's how they are designed to be used. Pre-drill a hole
with a bit no larger than the body of the threaded portion - i.e. the
diameter of the shaft not included the threads. If need be, when it
gets too tight for you to continue screwing by hand, use a couple of
pieces of wood clamped (or just held) onto the bent portion near the
threads to give you more leverage.

Second, I've been hanging my 28' aluminum extension lader on the style
of bracket shown here for 20+ years: http://tinyurl.com/377xh7

They are very easy to attach to the studs and you don't have to lift
the ladder over the ends of the brackets like the one's in your link.
The heavy duty style are certainly strong enough. In fact for about 15
years I also had a 10' wooden ladder hung on the same pair of
brackets. The ones I use are about 8" along the wall and 12" for the
vertical.
