A ladder carrying device is provided for carrying a ladder either over or under the shoulder. The ladder carrying device includes the rigid frame, a cushion pad and a device for selectively attaching and detaching the frame to the ladder. The frame has a cushion connecting portion which is connected to the cushion pad and a frame attachment portion which is secured to the ladder by the attaching and detaching device. The attaching and detaching device also allows the ladder carrying device to be detached from the ladder. The frame has an extension portion extending between its frame attachment portion and cushion connecting portion to space the cushion pad a sufficient distance from the ladder so that it may be mounted in depressions in the side rails of the ladder if desired. The extension portion has outer walls and a plurality of internal ribs extending between the walls to provide a lightweight honeycomb structure while having sufficient strength to support the weight of the ladder. The connection between the cushion pad and the cushion attachment portion is provided by molding the cushion pad around surfaces that are at an angle with respect to an embedded portion of the cushion connecting portion which extend into the cushion pad.
