A fireproof ascending/descending mobile apparatus includes a fireproof-material enclosure carrier device, a fireproof-material support device, a drive device, an uninterruptible power system, and a position controller. The drive device drives the fireproof-material enclosure carrier device to move on the fireproof-material support device and is arranged in the fireproof-material enclosure carrier device. The uninterruptible power system is electrically connected with the drive device and is arranged in the fireproof-material enclosure carrier device. The position controller is connected with the drive device to control a position of the fireproof-material enclosure carrier device and is arranged in the fireproof-material enclosure carrier device.

The present invention is a universal stabilization apparatus which is functional for use with any type of extension ladder and can be easily manually attached/detached using only one hand of the worker. The apparatus is of simple construction, lightweight, portable, completely adjustable and attachable onto substantially any type of roof edge. The apparatus consists of only two elongated resilient members in combination and each have attachments thereon for securing the extension ladder when in use.

A ramp-equipped box blind stand for ease of access includes a platform that is configured to position on a surface, such as in a field for hunting. A first ramp is coupled to a top of the platform and extends angularly from the platform to the surface. A carriage is slidably coupled to the first ramp and is selectively positionable along the first ramp. The carriage extends transversely from the first ramp so that it is substantially parallel to the surface. The carriage is configured to position a load, such as a box blind and an occupied wheelchair. A lift is operationally coupled to the carriage and the first ramp. The lift is configured to motivate the carriage along the first ramp to transfer the load between the surface and the top of the platform. A pair of first railings that is coupled the first ramp is configured to prevent falls.
