What do the beams of the ladder directly support?

In a typical ladder, the two side beams (rails) run along its length and the rungs are the crosspieces that connect between those beams to form steps. When you stand on a rung, your weight is taken by that rung and transferred into the beams. The beams then carry and distribute that load to the ladder’s feet and top supports. So the beams directly support the rungs.
