How to Hang large extension ladder on Garage Wall?

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

re: shelf brackets might bend

Might, but it hasn't happened in the 20+ years that my 2 heavy duty shelf brackets have been holding my 28' ladder, first in the garage and now under the deck. I guess they *could* suddenly bend at any moment, but I seriously doubt it.

re: or let you (sic) ladder slip off the hooks

Yes, if your house tilted. How else is it going to slip off?
