Internal ladder rack, anyone on here got one?
« on: February 19, 2012, 01:34:59 pm »
There doesn't seem to be much info on internal ladder racks. Saving up for a new shape Citroen Dispatch but really don't want to go with ladders on top anymore as I don't use them that much and it's not exactly great for fuel efficiency/wind noise. I've seen some systems abroad which looks quite promising, albeit a bit expensive.

New Dispatch has 2,254mm loading space, so should just be enough. I do need a combination ladder to clean the interior of two lanterns each month. Also need small A-frame ladder for insides.

Does anyone on here has their ladders inside their van? Maybe some pictures?

curtain pole & pulley ;)

easily done from a frame on the roof inside the van
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

i used to have a ladder rack inside my car, i made it out of wooden slats and covered the end at the back with carpet felt . the ladders slid in and out as if on greasepaper .  one bundle of pine slats in BnQ is easily enough to make a smart rack and very light too, about £15 per bundle

I have a peugot expert 2004 we have our pointer inside the rack was inside when i bought the van it is steel racking fiitting the one which have hole alway along them so you can fix a different lenghts etc it works and i would think is not too exspensive to make.
