Adrian Steel Ladder Racks: Our Top Picks
Released in 2022, the Adrian Steel PROFILE™ Ladder Rack Series is a serious game-changer. These ladder racks are some of the most functional and ergonomic ladder racks on the market. Compared to similar drop-down ladder racks, they are up to 50% easier to operate!
The construction of these ladder racks is also top-tier; they’re made of ultra-lightweight aluminum with stainless steel hardware and a highly-durable powder-coat finish. Aluminum is only one-third the weight of steel, so it’s the best type of material for ladder racks and helps protect your payload. With a new modular design, these ladder racks can be adapted to fit almost any work truck or van and can be easily modified for specific utility use.
There are many different options to choose from in this series, including the following:
ProLift™ Ladder Racks: With high-performing spring assist struts, your team members will be able to raise and lower ladders effortlessly without having to worry about back or shoulder injuries. This is the safest and best option for operators who use their ladder racks daily.
Grip-Lock Ladder Racks: This ladder rack is designed to grip your ladder rungs and lock your ladder securely into place. It’s very versatile and a great option for operators who use their ladder racks several times a week.
HD Utility Racks: If you’re looking to add additional storage on top of your work trucks or vans for multiple ladders, lumber, scaffolding, conduit, and other bulky cargo, this is probably the best choice. You can customize these racks by selecting the number of crossbars, a specific mounting kit, uprights, and extra accessories.
Interior Ladder Storage: Adrian Steel also offers flexible internal ladder storage options, including interior ladder racks and ladder keepers. This is a good option for vehicles operating in harsh climates or high-theft-risk areas.
