Mounting: Universal drill-through mounting installs directly to the roof. Each Harrier carries up to 2 ladders (order 2 for 4 ladders). Does not come with roof rack but can install to existing roof racks. Contact us for fitment questions.
Contractors use step vans—also known as walk-in vans or box trucks—primarily for their high-volume, secure cargo capacity, easy, walk-through access from cab to rear, and excellent maneuverability in, and around, residential and commercial job sites. They are usually the tallest vehicle on the road and therefore static roof ladder racks are not option unless the ladder rack can drop down to them standing on the ground.
The Harrier Drop Down Ladder Rack is the only drop down ladder rack for step vans is a hydraulically assisted commercial ladder lowering system designed to provide safe, ergonomic, ground-level ladder access from the rear of your work step vans.
Built to carry two ladders, The Harrier slides off the rear and lowers your load to a comfortable working height, eliminating overhead lifting and reducing strain on your shoulders and back. When it’s time to upgrade your step van or switch to another work truck or van, the system can be removed and transferred to your next commercial vehicle — protecting your investment and maximizing long-term value.
Safer, Easier Drop Down Ladder Loading
Vertical Ground-Level Access

There’s no need to lift ladders over your head or struggle to reach the top of your step van or box truck.
This vertical loading method helps:
- Reduce shoulder and back strain
- Improve loading speed on job sites
- Minimize risk of injury from overhead lifting

Step Van Fitment
Universal Bolt-Through Mounting System
The Harrier can be installed on most commercial work step vans using a universal bolt-through mounting system.
Once the six mounting feet are positioned on the flat roof of your roof, the Harrier rack can be securely bolted into place. This allows for a stable installation while still making the system removable for future use on another work truck or work fleet.
Installation Considerations
Strength and Load Distribution
It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm that their company step van rack is structurally capable of supporting the Harrier Drop Down Ladder Rack.
For best results, we recommend:
- Reinforcing the roof structure if needed
- Adding backing material to distribute the load
- Mounting the rack feet near the roof corners for increased rigidity
