Rear Loading Ladder Rack for 2 Ladders for Enclosed Trailers
Contractors use enclosed cargo trailers primarily to secure expensive tools from theft, and protect materials from harsh weather. They function as on-site workshops, allowing workers to leave equipment locked up rather than loading/unloading daily. Usage is rising due to the benefits but because enclosed cargo trailers are so tall, conventional static ladder racks are too high to reach. A drop down ladder rack is necessary and the Harrier Drop Down Ladder Rack is the only ladder rack that is compatible with cargo trailers.
The Harrier Drop Down Ladder Rack for enclosed cargo trailers is a hydraulically assisted ladder lowering system designed to provide safe, ergonomic, ground-level ladder access from the rear of your trailer.
Built to carry two ladders, The Harrier slides off the rear and lowers your load to a comfortable working height, eliminating overhead lifting and reducing strain on your shoulders and back. When it’s time to upgrade your trailer, the system can be removed and transferred to your next cargo trailer or fleet vehicle — protecting your investment and maximizing long-term value.
The Harrier is 2' wide. If you have enough room on the roof of your cargo trailer, you can install 3 Harriers to carry 6 ladders.
Safer, Easier Ladder Loading For Your Cargo Trailer
Vertical Ground-Level Access
With The Harrier, you simply stand the ladder upright and lean it into the rack for loading.
There’s no need to lift ladders over your head or struggle to reach the top of your trailer.
This vertical loading method helps:
Hydraulically Assisted Rear Slide System
Smooth Operation in Under 30 Seconds
The Harrier’s gas-strut-assisted system makes raising and lowering your ladders controlled and effortless.
- Hydraulically assisted lowering and lifting
- Full ascent or descent in under 30 seconds
- Sliding rear chassis locks securely in transport position
- Designed for commercial use and daily operation
This is a professional-grade ladder rack system built for real-world jobsite demands with commercial cargo work trailers.
Enclosed Cargo Trailer Fitment
Universal Bolt-Through Mounting System
The Harrier can be installed on most enclosed cargo trailers using a universal bolt-through mounting system.
Once the six mounting feet are positioned on the flat roof of your trailer, the Harrier rack can be securely bolted into place. This allows for a stable installation while still making the system removable for future use on another trailer or commercial fleet vehicle.
Installation Considerations
Roof Strength and Load Distribution
It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm that their enclosed cargo trailer roof is structurally capable of supporting the Harrier Drop Down Ladder Rack.
For best results, we recommend:
- Reinforcing the roof structure if needed
- Adding backing material to distribute the load
- Mounting the rack feet near the roof corners for increased rigidity
Different vehicles might be shown in the photos, but the Harrier Drop Down Ladder Rack itself is the same proven system, designed to fit a wide range of commercial and fleet vehicles.
