Rear ladder FOCU 12 H1 FT

For craftsmen and service providers who regularly work on the roof of their van, a safe and efficient means of access is indispensable. The Sortimo FOCU 12 H1 FT rear ladder was specifically developed for the Ford Transit Custom and offers a professional solution for daily use. As a specialized vehicle equipment solution, it enables quick and gentle access to the roof rack and roof structures without damaging the vehicle through drilling or permanent modifications. The technical details, material composition, and practical application options of this ladder construction are explained in detail below to provide craftsmen with a sound basis for decision-making regarding their work equipment.

The construction of this ladder combines lightness with high stability, achieved through the careful selection of materials. The main rails and individual rungs are made of aluminium, ensuring a low overall weight while maintaining high strength. Aluminium is not only easy to handle but also corrosion-resistant, which increases the longevity of the ladder under various weather conditions. The fasteners and mounting parts responsible for attaching the ladder to the vehicle are manufactured from galvanized steel sheet. This galvanization protects the steel components from rust and corrosion, even if the ladder is frequently exposed to moisture or dirt. Additionally, stainless steel components are used, which are particularly resistant to mechanical stress and chemical influences. The plastic parts, made of PA6 (polyamide 6), serve for damping and protecting the vehicle's paintwork. This combination of aluminium, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and PA6 ensures that the rear ladder withstands the harsh demands of everyday professional use while looking and functioning with high quality.

To precisely understand the suitability and specifications of the ladder, a look at the technical data is necessary. The Sortimo rear ladder FOCU 12 H1 FT weighs a total of 6.70 kg. This weight is considered very light for a ladder of this stability and size, significantly facilitating handling by a single person. The maximum load capacity is 120 kg, meaning the user, together with their tools and materials, can stand safely on the ladder up to this weight. This load capacity is more than sufficient for most craft work on the roof of a van. The ladder is compatible with the Ford Transit Custom from model year 2012 and covers all available length variants of this vehicle type. It is important to consider the roof shape, as the ladder is specifically designed for roof height H1. Furthermore, the vehicle must have a rear wing door opening, as the attachment and access are via this door. The ladder is suitable for both front-wheel-drive vehicles and those with other drive types, provided the body shape and door opening fit. The installation is mechanical via clamping, allowing residue-free removal without drilling into the body. Rubber profiles and damping strips at the contact surfaces with the vehicle ensure that scratches and damage to the paintwork of the Transit Custom are reliably prevented.

The primary area of application for this aluminium rear ladder is in van operations, particularly for trade businesses that rely on roof structures. Whether for installing solar panels, maintaining antenna technology, mounting roof boxes, or simply loading heavy materials onto the roof, this van ladder provides the necessary safety. The non-slip steps are ergonomically shaped and offer a secure footing even in wet or dirty conditions. The ergonomically shaped rail profile supports a natural body posture and reduces strain on the arms and shoulders while working on the ladder. For craftsmen who often work with heavy toolboxes or components on the roof, the high stability and clear structure of the ladder are crucial factors in accident prevention. The simple handling allows the ladder to be attached quickly, work to be performed on the roof, and then removed and stored in the vehicle with little effort. This saves time and increases efficiency in the workflow, as no complex installation work is required before each use.

The advantages of this solution are evident and support the user in various ways. Here are the key advantages of the rear ladder FOCU 12 H1 FT at a glance:
