Advantages Of Adding A Cargo Van Ladder Rack To Your Fleet Vehicles

 




Adding a cargo van ladder rack to your fleet vehicles will optimize your employees’ time when it comes to loading/unloading operations and will help to ensure their safety. Al Van carries the full range of racks from Ranger Design. Upfit your fleet with one of our high quality racks, made out of aluminum and stainless steel for long lasting use. 

When working in construction and other service industries, hauling ladders from fleet cargo vehicles can be tiring and even dangerous. If you are shorter or nursing an injury, loading and unloading can be much more difficult, especially if your company uses high-roof cargo vans. Since you can’t stop using ladders, what can make this part of your job easier? How can your company streamline its ladder usage in a cost-effective and efficient way? Consider installing ladder racks on fleet vehicles.

Benefits of Cargo Van Ladder Racks 

As a necessary tool in many service and construction industries, it’s important to keep ladders safe and secure while driving. Here are some advantages to use custom ladder racks for vans

More cargo van space:

These racks provide more space in a vehicle’s interior and eliminate the need to store ladders in the back of a van. By using a cargo van ladder rack, there will be more interior space for storing other cargo such as tools and equipment. 

Reduced injury risk:

Using a cargo van ladder rack makes loading and unloading safer. For example, by eliminating the need to haul a ladder in and out of a vehicle, the rack reduces the risk of back injury by doing the work for you. Additionally, the aluminum construction makes the rack lighter and helps fight corrosion.

 Secure storage:

 Most ladders are expensive and heavy. Racks will secure it tightly to the top of a cargo van and eliminate slips and movement during your drive.

 Increased productivity:

 A cargo van ladder rack increases productivity by streamlining usage. By reducing time spent loading and unloading ladders, workers can remain focused on getting the job done.

 

What to Look For?

Cargo van ladder racks aren’t all built the same. A quality rack will have a larger price tag, but it will be more reliable and durable. They also come in many shapes and sizes. No matter the type of fleet vehicle you drive, there is a rack suited to fit your vehicle’s needs.

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...
