A ladder attachment platform is provided that includes a base for attachment to a ladder that has first and second side rails and a plurality of rungs that extend between in a lateral direction. Also included is a user platform for having a user stand thereon that is carried by the base. The user platform may be positioned with respect to the ladder so that it is not located between a first plane that extends through the first side rail and is perpendicular to the lateral direction and a second plane that extends through the second side rail and is perpendicular to the lateral direction.

This disclosure describes systems, devices, apparatuses, kits, and methods of accessing a container. In a particular implementation, a container includes a housing that defines a cavity and a ladder coupled to the housing. The ladder is movable relative to the housing while the ladder is coupled to the housing. The ladder is movable relative to the housing between: a first position in which the ladder is disposed within the cavity; and a second position in which the ladder is disposed outside the cavity.

An access ladder assembly for a work vehicle to enable an operator to move from a ground position to a walkway of the work vehicle. A support rail includes a rail first end connected to a crossbar and a rail second end spaced from the rail first end. A slider is movably connected to the support rail to move from the rail second end toward the rail first end. An actuator includes an actuator first end connected to the crossbar and an actuator second end spaced from the actuator first end, wherein the actuator includes an extended position and a retracted position. A step is operatively connected to the actuator second end and is operatively connected to the slider, wherein the step includes a lowered position when the actuator is at the extended position and a raised position when the actuator is at the retracted position.

A ladder rung accessory assembly includes first and second caps have a respective base that is shaped to cover respective rung openings of a selected rung of an extension ladder to reduce acoustic noise during transport. Each cap includes a guide member that is received in the respective opening to position the attached base. Channels formed through the bases and guide members are shaped to receive a cable tie passing through each cap and the selected rung. The first cap is held against the ladder by a head of the cable tie and the second cap is held against the ladder by an internal pawl locking mechanism of the second cap that ratchets against a toothed tape section of the cable tie.
