Real life. Real tough.

"... Just wanted to commend you on your shelving. I have WEATHER GUARD shelving in some of my older vans also. The new vans were just finished by APPROVED LADDER in Philadelphia and they did a fast and fantastic job. They have to be one of your better dealers in this area. With fair pricing and installation rates your company will be around a lot longer than I shall."
— George Meissler Jr.

EZ Glide System Racks

No more climbing your van before you climb your ladders. With just a twist of a lever, the EZ-GLIDE™ System delivers your ladder to the right spot for back-saving loading and unloading. And when the work is done, another twist is all it takes to have the ladder packed away and ready to roll. The quickest, easiest and safest drop-down ladder rack system available, the EZ-GLIDE System also has a long-lasting aluminum frame design and interlocking supports that ensure your ladders stay in place when stowed.

All EZ-GLIDE Systems come with a wide range of benefits:

  • Long-Lasting Design — lightweight aluminum frame keeps rust at bay for a long-lasting, professional appearance. Rustproof stainless steel fasteners and non-metallic bushings eliminate bi-metal corrosion.
  • Stow And Secure — interlocking ladder supports ensure ladders stay in place when stowed. Ladders can be padlocked for added security.
  • Ergonomic Drive Arm — telescoping lever extends to fit your reach. Extra-strength handle, lever and hinge hardware provide maximum durability and ease of use.
  • EZ-GLIDE System Hydraulic Cylinder — provides a smooth, quiet and effortless descent. Zero-impact drop reduces noise and equipment wear.
