Rear ladder MATG 16 HD FT

The professional equipment of the van is a decisive factor for efficiency in the trade and commercial sector. When it comes to safely and ergonomically transporting cargo onto the vehicle roof, conventional ladders quickly reach limits that not only complicate work but also pose safety risks. The solution to this problem is the MATG 16 HD FT rear ladder from Sortimo, a tool specifically developed for the MAN TGE. This product is aimed at craftsmen, service providers, and fleet managers who value timely processes, workplace safety, and the protection of their vehicles. The necessity of safely transporting materials such as roof insulation, solar modules, or satellite antennas onto the roof is commonplace in modern craftsmanship. A stable, easily accessible connection between the ground and the roof is therefore indispensable. The Sortimo rear ladder bridges this gap by offering a fixed, yet non-permanently installed solution that integrates seamlessly into work processes.

The structure and construction of this ladder are characterized by a thoughtful combination of various materials that ensure both lightness and extreme stability. The ladder rails and rungs are made of high-quality aluminium. This material is not only easy to handle, facilitating installation, but also corrosion-resistant and durable. The connection parts responsible for the attachment to the vehicle are made of sheet steel and galvanised. This galvanisation protects the critical connection points from rust and wear, even under adverse weather conditions. In addition, components made of stainless steel and polyamide 6 (PA6) are used, which provide additional strength and wear resistance at stressed points. The anti-slip treads are ergonomically shaped to ensure a secure grip even in wet or dirty conditions. The ergonomically shaped rail profile supports the user in gripping and guiding the ladder stably when climbing up and down.

In terms of technical data, the precision of the adaptation to the vehicle is of central importance. The MATG 16 HD FT rear ladder is tailor-made for the MAN TGE in the high roof version H2. It fits all lengths of the MAN TGE vehicle type, model year from 2016, as well as the eTGE from 2019 and the TGE panel van Plus from 2016. The ladder is specifically designed for vehicles with front-wheel drive and wing doors as the rear opening variant. This is an important note for the purchasing decision, as the mounting points and access angle at the rear edge of the vehicle differ from those with sliding doors. Support for various wheelbases is guaranteed, covering wheelbases of 3640 mm and 4490 mm. The total weight of the ladder is 6.75 kg, making it a compact and easy-to-position unit that can be handled by a single person without great effort.

The areas of application of the rear ladder are diverse and cover the typical requirements of daily commercial life. Particularly in the area of roof construction, the ladder is an indispensable tool. Craftsmen who specialise in the installation of roof structures, roof structures for special vehicles, or the assembly of roof frameworks benefit from the stable platform that the ladder provides. But also in the maintenance of antenna systems, the installation of solar systems on vans, or the loading of large, bulky goods that are only accessible via the roof, the performance of the product is evident. The ladder for panel vans makes it possible to bring loads safely onto the roof without the vehicle itself being damaged by improper loading. It serves as a safe bridge between the working floor and the roof surface, thereby reducing the risk of falls or tools and materials falling down.

A key advantage of this solution is the residue-free installation. In contrast to permanently bolted ladders that require holes in the bodywork and can thus reduce the value of the vehicle or lead to leaks, the MATG 16 HD FT rear ladder is mounted by clamping. This clamping technique ensures a firm connection without the need for drilling holes in the bodywork. The connection parts are equipped with rubber profiles and damping bands on the contact surfaces to the vehicle. These elements not only prevent the ladder from slipping during climbing, but also reliably protect the vehicle's paint from scratches and damage. This is particularly important for leased vehicles or fleets that are regularly changed. The simple installation and residue-free removal save time and costs, as no specialised tools or welding work are required.

In summary, the main advantages of the MATG 16 HD FT rear ladder can be presented as follows:

The classification into the Sortimo system shows that the MATG 16 HD FT rear ladder is not to be seen as an isolated product, but as part of a holistic concept for vehicle equipment. Sortimo offers a wide range of solutions for tool storage, load securing and vehicle shelving. The rear ladder ideally complements these systems by enabling access to the roof areas where further accessories or the base for roof structures are often mounted. Combination possibilities arise particularly for users who wish to equip their vehicle comprehensively. For example, if a Sortimo vehicle shelf is installed in the interior to organise tools efficiently, the user benefits from the rear ladder to bring heavy or bulky parts onto the roof that do not fit in the interior. The ladder is thus an integral part of a logically structured work zone that increases mobility and productivity.

Which wheelbases does the rear ladder for the MAN TGE support? The wheelbases 3640 mm and 4490 mm are supported, making the ladder suitable for the most common variants of the TGE.
