END DUMPS - ANYONE RUNNING AN EXTENSION LADDER OFF TRAILER?

Most places we go won't let you get on a trailer ladder. We have being ordering our trailers with man doors in the front bulkhead so drivers can get in trailer.

Figure out how to add this to your ladder

 

My chemical tankers have the bottom 3-4 rungs of their ladders hinged so they fold up onto themselves for extra ground clearance. They are normally in the center of the trailer on the right side. I'll get a picture tomorrow when Im back at the yard.

 

some people just take life way to seriously

 

This is what we now use
Our old Mac Macsimizers had a ladder on front in front of hoist cylinder.

 

I love my door, doesn’t do me any good with Coke and a lot of scrap loads where ya can’t get in the door.. I’m pretty intrigued at those auto bow systems that move out of the way in sync at the switch or a button, eliminates the need to even need to even get in there.. that’s pretty cool

 

Had swing bows in a couple Macs that was rope opreated. Fertilizer killed them! Been trying a new "unbreakable" bow. Half price of the plastic white ones. Good folks to work with.

 

The MAC I pull has a piece of ladder that flips up and pins out of the way, but I mostly use the man door in the front. Ladder is on the back left side.
