Carrying steps inside van

hopkins85 · Jul 11, 2010

Any one got a good method of keeping step ladders off the floor in the back of the van, been looking at the Jet Rack but its american.

I don't want to carry them on the roof rack.

It weighs 7lbs. I'm going to email them. Its that tax etc at customs that bumps it up.

The yanks do seem to have better equipment for there vans.

I used a ratchet strap to attach them to the inside roof of the van. Nice and secure and most importantly cheap.

i built some shelves down the side and left a gap big enough up the top so i can slide them in and out

What van is it? on our transits we hang them on hooks on the rear doors!

Ford transit, I have 1set against the side its my longer set I have trouble with. Might of sorted it with a bit of all round band and bungy strap. Time will tell.

in my last transit i had a rack hung from the roof made from the 2" angle that industrial roller panel doors are hung from in tin sheds, just slid the ladders in and out.

I like the Jet rack thing that's quite cool but you have to supply the strut in which case you might as well supply one of these as well and you are not far off!
