SUPPORT

The brackets mounts are only 2 1/2 inches deep to avoid interfering with loading docks.

SAFETY FIRST
Jumping from trailers, vans or heavy equipment creates high impact force to the joints that will increase potential slips and falls immediately after landing. With the Deckmate trailer ladder, you can prevent these injuries and time missed from work. Unlike a standard ladder, the Deckmate hooks securely onto the rub-rail to stay in place.
