A tool cart and ladder hoist system for providing a safe and efficient manner for carrying tools. The tool cart includes a tool compartment, a hoist ring, at least one wheel, and at least one support strap. The tool cart is defined by a pair of side walls, a back wall, a handle portion, and a base. The ladder hoist component includes a winch casing, a removable carrier casing, and at least one fastener pin. The ladder hoist component interacts with the hoist ring to provide a method for lifting tools. The tool cart may also include compartments for carrying and housing various tank components.

A material hoist system includes a drive; and a carriage, wherein the drive is configured to be coupled to the carriage and to move the carriage of with respect to a track of the material hoist system configured to raise a load to an elevated surface; wherein each of the drive and the carriage are configured to be separately coupled to the track and then to each other to slideably lock in a locked position of each of the drive and the carriage with respect to the track.

A method of using a material hoist system includes slidably moving a carriage of the material hoist system with respect to a track, movement of the carriage with respect to the track driven by a drive of the material hoist system; and stopping the movement of the carriage automatically when a motor controller of the drive senses: a current of the drive that reaches a current threshold; and a rotational speed of the drive that reaches a rotational speed threshold.

A ladder-mountable material lift for mounting on an extension ladder, having a hoist for engaging with an upper rung of the extension ladder and a platform moveable by the hoist between a lower end of the extension ladder and the hoist. The platform has upper and lower side brackets on each side of the platform, the lower side brackets for sliding along upper surfaces of the side rails of the ladder base section and the upper side brackets for sliding along upper surfaces of the side rails of the ladder fly section, such that operation of the hoist causes the platform to move upwardly or downwardly along the extension ladder.
