I've
said it before, most folks don't use their hay racks. Mainly
because it's too hard to get to. A big share of factory hay rack
ladders don't cut it. Too narrow, flimsy or just plain scary.
Step Above is a slide-out aluminum ladder that makes the roof of
your trailer an easy trip and safe. Having the right angle
slanted away from the trailer takes the work out of climbing a
ladder just like your step ladder you use around the house but
with hand rails. Step
Above slides out to the ground for just the right slope like a
staircase for
climbing or you can climb up barn style on the side or rear of your
trailer.
Sliding the
ladder all the way out for stability makes this ladder safe and
easy to climb. So you could walk up the ladder with a bale of
hay or bag of feed. The ladder has a built in hand rail above
the ladder rail with traction strips on the ladder rungs.
Heavy duty aircraft grade
aluminum you know in the solid feel you have using it. Sixteen
inches wide as is standard with ladders and six inches deep.
Attaches to the side or rear of your trailer.
The price will surprise you. Yes
you can afford it. Made by a company that makes quality heavy
duty ladders for the oil field and construction.
Strong
attachment, using 3 bolts on top, 3 bolts on bottom bracket, secure if
you climb up the ladder while attached to your trailer. When the ladder
is slide out, the top bracket and the ground support the ladder
Bottom bracket has a spring
loaded T-handle that slides into ladder end tubes to secure the
ladder to the bottom bracket for the road.
Used a level on the gooseneck
frame, on the side wall and...
fender. Once you have your
trailer level...
it's easy to attach your Step
Above ladder level also
Thick aircraft grade aluminum
top bracket
I used the level to align the
top bracket. Then I drilled the middle hole first to attach and
hold bracket secure while I leveled again
I used a spacer to separate the
ladder away from the trailer because the top of the .....
sheet metal on my Logan trailer
exterior wall had a crimped triangle sticking out an inch....
by spacing out the top ladder bracket, the
ladder is parallel to the trailer wall
I bolted the top bracket to the
roof radius
You want to bolt the bottom
bracket a couple inches above any running board...
for the T-handle spring loaded
locking pin to extend below the bracket
Line up the drop distance so steps will
match from rail to rail and miss trailer horse ties or windows etc.
The T-handle slides into tubes
welded to the bottom of ladder rails to lock ladder in place,
see the rungs are aligned incase you want to climb the ladder
while attached to the trailer
Step Above aluminum ladder looks
great on a trailer
Tabs welded to the rails limit
how far the ladder will telescope. Channels hold the rails
together. Hand rail telescopes too
Easy to attach, simple to use, and
locks in place for those rough roads
Simple packaging, no box just
cellophane
I did it right, the Step Above is parallel to
the trailer wall
Step Above is 16 inches wide and 6 inches
deep to fit inside fender on 6 and 7 ft. wide trailers. On 8 ft.
wide you may want to mount on rear door
Ladder is inside the
fender looking great
Now you can use
your hay rack and pod, quick, light easy to extend and lock to
the side of the trailer
