Ladder Racks for Your Commercial Truck

Grip-Lock Truck Ladder Racks

Whether you’re a contractor, electrician, or HVAC specialist, a high-quality ladder is an important part of your equipment inventory and an expensive investment. 


If you store your ladder in the bed of your work truck, you not only take up valuable space that could be used to store other tools, you also put your investment at risk. Fortunately, Adrian Steel has a wide selection of durable ladder racks that keep your ladder safely stored on top of your commercial van.

Equipped with two-inch, high strength round tubing, Load Runner is rated for the maximum load allowed by truck manufacturers and is the top choice in many industries. Load Runner also comes with a removable rear crossbar that enables you to transport tall items in your truck bed and convenient tie-down cleats that secure loads either on top of your truck or in the bed.

The LoadFlex also comes with easily adjusted rest arms, slot-through bolt design that prevents separation, and plastisol rung stops and rope hooks. LoadFlex racks are available for both full and midsize trucks and fit all late model GM, Ford, and Dodge trucks.

 

Grip-Lock Ladder Rack

If your work truck has a commercial cap, the Grip-Lock is the ladder rack for you. Designed with an outer rail and horn, the Grip-Lock makes loading and unloading a snap, and the lockable gripping mechanism firmly secures one to two ladders without creating vibration wear. The Grip-Lock is available in 5’ and 6’ lengths between the cross supports and works with 6’, 7’, and 8’ pickup bed lengths.

Hire a refrigerated van fleet to access great service at minimal cost

Image
Vehicle acquisition makes up a huge part of business fleet costs, particularly when that fleet operates within a cold chain. In this blog, we examine why   refrigerated truck rental   holds the key to acquiring high-quality service at a low cost. Why choose refrigerated vans? First thing’s first - which vehicle model is best for your business needs? Needless to say, there is a healthy demand for refrigerated HGVS. However, for many small businesses operating a cold chain, refrigerated vans can pose the best solution. Refrigerated transport is often used for relatively small loads - such as online food shopping, events catering, or fresh produce deliveries to small stores. In each of these situations, a refrigerated van may be the most suitably sized vehicle. On top of this, congestion on the roads is getting worse. Research by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) found that vehicle traffic has increased by 5% since 2000, while the length of the road netwo...

Anheuser-Busch to add 21 BYD electric delivery trucks to California fleets

Image
It seems Anheuser-Busch is set on trying every type of alternative-fuel-powered delivery truck available. In 2017, A-B announced it had ordered 40 electric Tesla semi-trucks. In 2018, A-B said it ordered as many as 800 hydrogen Nikola Motor Company semis. And in 2019, A-B says it is adding 21 battery-electric semis to its distribution fleet, this time from Chinese manufacturer Build Your Dreams (BYD). The introduction of the electric trucks is part of a collaboration between A-B, BYD, the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE), and ENGIE Services U.S. It's called the Zero-Emission Beverage Handling and Distribution at Scale project, and it aims to "demonstrate how to reach zero-emissions across the range of activities at AB distribution facilities with minimal modifications to fleet logistics." A-B claims this will be the largest Class 8 electric truck deployment in North America. The trucks and their charging gear will be used at four...

Refrigerated Vans for Deliveries and Trailers for Storage

Image
Several news articles published this past spring described the good work of a well-known online supermarket that donated refrigerated vans to local food charities. What the company did was both honorable and very helpful to the charities in question. News reports explained that the purpose of the donations was to give food charities the means of delivering more fresh foods – like perishable fruits, vegetables, and meats – to recipients rather than just canned and dry goods. That is a great goal to pursue. Hopefully the food charities are not using the vans for storage as well. In short, refrigerated vans are for deliveries while refrigerated trailers are for storage. There really is no comparison when you are looking at a cold storage solution for more than a couple of hours at a time. Trailers Offer More Capacity One of the first things to note about refrigerated trailers is that, compared to refrigerated van hire, they offer more c...
