The Deckmate Ladder: Safe, Portable Access for Trucks and Trailers

Engineered with Your Safety in Mind

The Deckmate Ladder is a compact, folding ladder designed to help drivers safely access trailers, vans, and flatbeds — even those without rub rails. It eliminates the need to climb over greasy tires, balance on slippery bumpers, or jump down from tall vehicles, all of which increase the risk of injury.

Unlike traditional ladders that can blow over or tip in the wind, the Deckmate Ladder stays securely in place. It hooks directly onto trailer rub rails for maximum stability. For vehicles without rub rails, such as vans or straight trucks, a bolt-on bracket (sold separately) provides a safe and effective mounting option.

Key Features:

  • Secure Working Angle – Hangs safely at a natural angle for easy access

  • Compact & Lightweight – Weighs only 20 pounds for simple handling and storage

  • Heavy-Duty Capacity – Supports up to 400 pounds

  • Durable Construction – Made from high-quality steel

  • Space-Saving Design – Folds to 33" and extends up to 53"

  • Nonskid Safety Steps – Reduces slipping in all conditions

  • Support Bar with Storage Pocket – For added convenience on the job

  • Pinch-Free Hinge Design – Prevents injury to fingers and clothing

Protect Your Health and Reduce Workplace Injuries

Many drivers have shared that they wish they had used the Deckmate Ladder before experiencing knee, back, or hip injuries from repeatedly jumping off trailers. Some even underwent surgery and missed weeks of work — consequences this ladder is designed to help prevent.

The Deckmate Ladder is approved by MSHA and the U.S. Department of Labor, and is trusted by professionals in transportation, military logistics, and industrial sectors across the U.S.

Don’t wait for an injury to make the switch. Choose safety with the Deckmate Ladder — the smarter way to climb.
