The wait is finally over, the NEW Owl Ladder + Tire Carrier for Ford Transit is here! After years of promising our Transit customers the same great products as Sprinter, we finally have them in production. We had been overwhelmed by the popularity of our Sprinter gear and that delayed our release of our new Transit Ladder.
Critical Gear: In motorcycling, they say, "Dress for the crash, not the ride." This statement holds true for off-roading as well. Even if you don't do anything hardcore, having an accessible, proper-sized, spare is critical gear for getting away from the beaten path. Ford Transits are already lower to the ground than Sprinters which can make getting a spare from under the van incredibly difficult in mud, sand, or with a rear flat. Watch the video at the bottom for more reasons to add a spare to the rear of you van.
Two great products in one: Quality aluminum gear is not cheap, that's why we try to incorporate multi-functionality into all our gear. You get the benefit of an accessible tire and a ladder to get to the roof in one compact package
A lot of folks that a new to this industry don't know, but Owl invented the Ladder + Tire carrier. That means we know more about the engineering of this product than any other company on the market. While we were busy making Sprinter gear many companies made replicas of our Ladder + Tire Carrier for different vans but there is only one genuine Ladder + Tire Carrier....Owl.
Lightweight and Strong: For the Transit Ladder + Tire carrier we didn't simply copy our Sprinter gear. We set out to make an entirely new Ladder stronger and lighter than anything else on the market. We were able to accomplish this by making the entire unit of our lightweight (US) aluminum. Weighing in at a svelte 21lbs means you have less weight on your door (that's 35% lighter than the competition)!
Billet Aluminum Hinge Brackets: We wanted to make sure this ladder works on any type of hinges (swapping hinges on a Transit is more complicated than on a Sprinter). Therefore we went back to the drawing board and designed a stunning set of all billet machined hinge brackets. These work with all Transit hinge types. For those who don't know much about billet aluminum, it means the brackets were machined down from a solid block of aluminum. This process is much more costly but the end result is massively stronger than other processes. Lastly, they are just drop-dead gorgeous :)
