There might be a good reason walking under ladders is considered bad luck. Without proper care and usage, ladders can indeed be dangerous to work with. If you can a business that does work that requires you to transport ladders to a job site, you should consider getting ladder racks for vans. 

Keep reading for a list of 5 main reasons to install ladder racks on all your business vehicles. 

1. Ladder Racks For Vans Save Space

Most construction, electric, or handyman companies tend to have very full vans. There’s just a lot of tools involved in most jobs that require ladders. 

One great way to free up the maximum space on the interior of your van is to get a ladder rack for the top. It just doesn’t make sense to waste that interior space on a bulky ladder. Storing large ladders doesn’t have to be difficult!

2. They’re Safer

Using a ladder rack to transport your ladder is safer. Ladders are typically large and heavy and so having a specific space apart from all your other equipment prevents the ladder from moving around inside the van. 

The rack keeps it securely in place and out of the way.

But there’s another way they add to safety. Since your employees won’t have to navigate the narrow space and other equipment inside the van in order to remove the ladder, worker injuries are reduced when using a rack. 

3. They Save Time

Having a van ladder rack saves time for similar reasons to those listed above. Since a person does not have to deal with getting a long ladder out of the cramped interior of the van, it is not just safer but also saves time.

The ladder can simply be unhooked from the rack. It takes moments. And all those moments add up to more efficiency, and ultimately, more money for your business. 

4. They’re Easy To Use

All of our racks are simple to use. You essentially just slide the ladder into and out of its place above the van.

The Ergorack makes loading and unloading even easier by allowing a person to move a lever and have the ladder lowered to the side of the van by a hinge. This can be done easily even one-handed! 

Whatever type of van or vehicle you’re using for your fleet, we can recommend a rack that will work well for your purposes. 

5. They’re Always Ready 

Even if not every vehicle in your fleet needs a ladder for every trip, it is helpful to have a rack installed for when you do need it. 

In addition to ladders, the ladder racks can actually be used for lumber, pipes, or other similar long items. 

They are always ready to make life easier for you and your employees while at work.
