Happy landings

Safety managers cringe when they see a driver hop off the bed of a flatdeck trailer. A portable ladder is a better option. Ricker Sales Agency says its handy Deck Mate folding ladder is specifically designed for flatbed trailers. It measures 53 inches long (30 inches when folded), 18 inches wide, and hooks securely onto the rubrail. Made of steel, Deck Mate weighs less than 20 pounds and folds up for easy storage.

Ricker offers a special hanger for use on vans and reefer trailers (the hanger doesn’t interfere with dock plates).
