A ladder transport cart, such as the U-TECK Rung Runner™ is an engineering control that may help reduce lifting & carrying. The Rung Runner™ is a two-wheeled dolly made specifically for transporting ladders of all sizes.

The U-TECK Rung Runner™ is a two-wheeled dolly made specifically for transporting ladders of all sizes including large extension ladders with solid rails (figure 1). The ladder is held in the middle by a strap with a quick release buckle. Since it is cradled in the middle, the weight of the ladder is reduced up to 90%. The framework of the Rung Runner™ is made of polymer and stainless steel for strength and durability. Additionally, a step ladder dolly is also available (figure 2).
