We have received many requests over the years for a drop down ladder rack for cargo vans. Tradesmen, Upfitters and Fleet Managers were coming to Ranger with the same messages. “We need a safer drop down ladder rack”. “Drop down racks take a lot of abuse so you need to design a tough rack”. “People tend to run them (drop down racks) into things. If you ever create a drop down ladder rack make sure it is low profile”. “If your drop down rack ships as quick as the rest of your products that would be amazing”. With these comments in mind, we gave our team of engineers a clear set of objectives: – Design a rack that lowers the ladder in one easy motion – Make sure that the operator does not have to perform a secondary motion to lower the rack and is always out of the path of the descending ladder. – We want a rack that brings the ladder exceptionally low. – Sliding door must be able to open when the rack is down. – The ladder must only touch plastic when it is on the rack to prevent ladder wear.

The new Benchmark Drop Down Ladder Rack for Cargo Vans

After thousands of hours of innovation, testing, cost analysis, redesigning and client canvassing our engineers finally had a design that was worthy of our standards. Based on feedback from pre-launch prototypes, our clients felt the drop down rack our engineers created surpassed industry expectations and functioned better than models already on the market in the following areas: SAFER: Lowering up to 50 inches in one single motion, with the operator out of the path of the descending ladder. TOUGHER: We subjected this product to harsh testing (5 year life cycle tests and military spec 108 degree Fahrenheit thermo cycling and freezing rain tests) and it passed with flying colors. We also field tested it for real-life feedback from tradesmen. FASTER: The standout feature was the ease of operation. No secondary motion was required to lower the rack. Its gas shock assisted descent made operation a quick and easy task.
