ErgoRack reduces efforts by 70%

With our ergonomic patented ladder carrier, workers can safely and quickly load and unload ladders from the ground, independently from the height of the vehicle.
The ladder does not touch the vehicle’s bodywork, preserving it from eventual damage and the lateral deployment movement makes it ideal for parking slots between other vehicles or on a hill.

The ease, convenience and safety delivered by this hyper-capable system saves valuable time daily, costly repairs to vehicles and injury to workers.

The ergonomic advantage of ErgoRack

Engineered with medical specialists

Developed and tested with orthopedics surgeons to reduce the impact on arms, shoulders and lower back.

prevents physical stress

Unlike many ladder deployment methods, ErgoRack causes minimal stress to the operator’s body and reduce back strains by two thirds.

Force comparison

For an average pulled force of 4.5 kg,

Traditional ladder rack solutions:

Upper arm force: 4.9 kg
Lower back force: 134.3 kg

ErgoRack ergonomic system:

Upper arm force: 1.4 kg
Lower back force: 44.5 kg

Smooth operation

A hydraulic cylinder controls the movement of the ladder for smooth operations by controlling the glide speed. 

Auto-Clamp

The patented Auto-Clamp allows to prevent the ladder from tackling against the system and drastically enhance noise reduction.

Paired with the L-post and Z-post, the energy is absorbed and the ladder is safely secured during transport.

Flexible positioning and upgrade

Right - Left - Double

ErgoRack can be installed on the left side, on the right side or on both sides of commercial vehicles’ roof.
