WHY USE A WHEELIAMS REAR DOOR LADDER?

The Wheeliams Hinge Mounted Rear Door Ladder is very popular with van users who are looking for a beautifully designed ladder with great practical features and offering amazing value for money. The key benefits of our ladders are:

–

You gain safe and simple access to your van roof rack for easy loading and unloading.

The ladder swings out with the opening of the rear door without any additional operations.

Ladders are fully compatible with rear van windows and rear wipers.

No need for you to relocate the vehicle number plate or the vehicle badge.

Wheeliams Hinge Mounted Rear Door Ladders have previously only been available to our roof rack customers but are now available to everyone through our on-line shop.

Ladder Installation

Fixings required to fit the ladder to the van are supplied.

Our ladders bolt to the existing hinges on the door and require two holes drilling in the skin of the door and one hole drilling through each hinge. This wheel carrier can be fitted to vans with 180degree hinges. 

Always test fit any bolt-on product before painting to be sure it fits. We will not reimburse for painting if the part is not test fitted prior to painting. 

Historically these doors have been very weak around the area that the hinge bolts to. They are common to crack here. By fitting a wheel carrier that braces over the top of the door spanning between the hinges and the door you are actually strengthening this area and therefore making your door less likely to crack in this place. Fitting the wheel carrier stops the hinge from flexing the side of the door which is what causes the stress cracks. 

All drilled holes will require any bare metal painting to prevent corrosion. We also bond the door skin mount and the door skin which removes the point load off the bolts whilst also sealing up the hole to prevent water ingress.
