Make Trailer Access Safer and Easier — Get a TrailerMate Ladder.
Avoid risky jumps and unstable makeshift steps with a purpose-built ladder designed for daily use in demanding trailer environments.
Safety First - Before Every Use.
Quick reminders to keep you safe and stable every time you climb.
Safety Instructions
Inspect Ladder Condition - Always check the ladder for cracks, bends, loose hardware, or visible damage before each use to ensure safe operation.
Verify Locking Mechanism - Confirm that the locking pin or latch is fully engaged so the ladder cannot shift or collapse while in use.
Maintain 3 Points of Contact - Keep at least two hands and one foot—or two feet and one hand—on the ladder at all times to maximize stability.
Never Exceed Weight Rating - Do not climb the ladder if your weight plus any tools or gear exceeds the posted load capacity for your model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TrailerMate ladder permanently mounted to the trailer?
No. TrailerMate is a temporary, removable ladder that is taken off the trailer after each use, giving operators flexibility and easy storage without any permanent installation.
How does the TrailerMate attach to the trailer?
The ladder securely hooks onto the rub rails of most standard trailers, giving you a stable climbing point without drilling, bolting, or modifying the trailer in any way.
What trailers is the TrailerMate compatible with?
TrailerMate is designed to work with trailers that have standard rub rails, including flatbeds, deck-over trailers, drop-decks, and many utility-style trailers.
How much weight can the TrailerMate ladder support?
The TrailerMate models support 400 lbs., including the operator and any tools or gear being carried.
How do I store the TrailerMate when not in use?
Because it is removable, you can store the TrailerMate in a truck cab, toolbox, under-bed storage rack, or anywhere on the trailer deck when not in use.
Does the TrailerMate require any installation?
No. The ladder requires zero permanent installation. It hooks onto the rub rail when needed and is removed immediately after use.
Will the ladder scratch or damage my rub rails?
TrailerMate uses protected contact points to minimize metal-to-metal contact, helping prevent scratching or wear on rub rails when placed properly.
Is the TrailerMate OSHA compliant?
TrailerMate is engineered to support safer trailer access and is designed to meet or exceed OSHA and ANSI ladder safety performance guidelines when used correctly.
How do I safely position the ladder before climbing?
Place the hooks over the trailer’s rub rail, ensure both engagement points are fully seated, verify the ladder angle is correct, and confirm the ladder feet are on stable, level ground.
What maintenance does the TrailerMate ladder require?
Basic maintenance includes checking for bent rungs, worn ladder feet, cleaning dirt or ice from the hook points, and lubricating hinge areas as needed for smooth, secure operation.
