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.

A ladder safety stabilizer is a telescopically adjustable device that attaches to the rung of a ladder on one end and to the building that the ladder is leaning against at the other end to prevent the feet of the ladder from sliding while a user is climbing, and to provide a second stabilization point in addition to the feet of the ladder to provide greater ladder stability, increased safety, and reduced accident risk.

The invention, according to an embodiment, is a foldable, adjustable, and lockable cover for a plurality of rungs of a ladder. The device renders a ladder prohibitively difficult to climb. In an embodiment, the device is attached to a ladder using a lock, such as a bike lock or padlock, at a top portion of the device, rendering it difficult to for an unauthorized user to climb the ladder to cut any lock holding the device in place and/or remove the ladder.

A ladder and ladder accessory are provided including an accessory that may be coupled to the ladder in multiple configurations and serve multiple purposes. In one embodiment, a pair of components are each selectively coupled with associated rails of a ladder in a first, stored state, and a second, walkthrough state. When in the walkthrough state, the components extend upwards from and above the rails so that a user may gasp the components and step between the components when transitioning from the ladder to an elevated surface (e.g., a roof) or vice versa. In another embodiment, the components may be coupled to the ladder such that they extend in a direction that is substantially transverse to a plane through which the rails extend. When in this transverse orientation, the components may be used as a stand-off device.

A ladder for a user to climb and which holds a rag includes a first rail having a top and a second rail and rungs attached to the first rail and second rail. The ladder includes an end cap that is attached adjacent to the top of the first rail. The end cap having an attachment portion which attaches to the first rail and a cover portion which covers over the first rail, and extends from the attachment portion. The cover portion having a rag holder. The ladder includes a pad attached to the back of the cover portion which contacts a surface against which the first rail leans against so as not to mar or scratch or damage the surface. An end cap. A method.
