A structure affixed to the roof of a compact cargo van designed to facilitate the secure transportation of ladders, pipes, and other elongated materials. This equipment enables tradespeople and service providers to efficiently carry necessary tools and supplies to job sites. For example, a plumber might use this to haul lengths of pipe, while an electrician could secure conduit.
These systems are crucial for optimizing cargo space and protecting the vehicle’s interior from damage. By safely mounting items on top, the available space inside remains free for other essential equipment. Historically, improvised methods were used, leading to unsafe practices and potential damage. Modern solutions offer engineered designs, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with safety regulations, thereby minimizing risks during transit.
