Practical transport solutions for ladders: it’s that easy!

If you are a tradesman or service technician, you may have asked yourself the following questions: How can I create more storage space on or in my van? How can I at least make the best use of the available space in my vehicle to safely store and transport ladders there? Or: How can this be done as ergonomically as possible without constantly straining my back? The answers are quickly given: Sortimo offers comprehensive transport solutions for ladders – and they fit perfectly.

Creating solutions for optimised workflows as well as the safe and quick stowage and transport of work materials is Sortimo’s core competence. Sortimo always has the right answers to questions about the optimal transport solutions for ladders and their safe transport on and in the vehicle:

The ladder side lift (loadable up to 35 kilograms) supports you when it comes to lifting the ladder ergonomically with little effort onto the roof.

The rear ladder lift is designed for ladders weighing up to 51 kilograms, and the internal ladder lift helps to store ladders weighing up to 18 kilograms in the van interior – on the vehicle ceiling – ensuring maximum space-saving. And: it fits into every commercial vehicle model

For those who want to take a pragmatic approach, the ladder clamp is a cost-effective aid that simplifies work steps and enables safe transport of ladders  

You can secure your ladders on the TopSystem with the inexpensive accessory – the ladder clamp. Of course, the use of an additional ladder may be needed on a larger veicle type.The ladder clamp is very easy to use and can be positioned universally on the TopSystem. With just one hand, up to four tier ladders can be secured and unsecured on the TopSystem with the ladder clamp. A lock also protects the ladders from theft.

If you want to lift the ladders onto the roof a little more comfortably, we offer you individual solutions with our different lift systems to load and unload ladders.

Do you see importance to ergonomic working? Then the side ladder lift is just the thing for you! As an optional accessory to the TopSystem, you can use the lift, which can be mounted on both sides of the vehicle, to load and unload ladders onto the roof rack. In addition to the ergonomic handling, this is particularly practical in inner-city areas, as the ladders can be lifted up and down sideways and thus from the kerb when parked at the roadside. This means you have no space problem with vehicles parked behind you and can load and unload safely.

Working ergonomically despite heavy work loads does not have to be a contradiction – the rear ladder lift proves this. It takes ladders weighing up to 51 kilograms and supports you in getting the ladder onto the roof from the back of the vehicle, where it can be properly secured and transported.

The transport solution for shorter ladders inside the load compartment: the internal ladder lift. With the ladder lift, you make the best possible use of the available space inside your van: the ladder is conveniently fixed and transported under the vehicle ceiling.
