Van- internal step ladder mounting

[NorthEastSpark]

Hello,

Is there a product available (not a DIY solution) to stick our step ladders to the (internal) roof of the van. Instead of lying on top of everything. Have seen 'Jet Rack' on US sites. Looks a bit pricey and a bit of unistrut on top.

For those that have this, what have you used?

I have conduit box lids with hooks on them and bungee cord to them. Never fell off in 5 years.

mine just sandwich between bread trays and shelving. all the bare space on left is for tools/taken off at night.

Yes there is.
I had a company Vivaro with one in a few years ago.
Easy to use and probably expensive.

Just looked at the link above, it was that one or an earlier version.
After I hit my head on it a few times trying to get in the side door it came out.
I made my own, far simpler and not a danger to heads.

The one I made was more like this one, 2 simple brackets;

Right. The amount of galvinised bits, bungee cords and hooks I already have mean a DIY solution is inevitable.

so where's the fun in that? a good bang on head focusses apprentices.

I made a false floor and slide mine under it. Drives you mad when they are just launched on top of everything

lol hidden for the purposes of a gratuitous beauty shot

all the little bits and pieces are normally in the festool boxes in the centre
