Prime Design is the industry-leading ergonomic ladder rack manufacturer. Their racks are designed around the worker – to make the job safer, easier, and more comfortable by reducing stress on the body. How their products impact day to day work is as important as the quality of materials and construction.
Van Ladder & Utility Racks
We believe in quality solutions that help you perform efficiently and effectively, and give you more time to focus on what really matters. Truck ladder and Utility racks keep the materials from shifting while the vehicle is in motion, making it safer for the driver, as well as for other drivers on the road.
ErgoRack
Lightweight, Safe and Easy
Prime Design has been the industry’s ergonomic leader since 1992, when we first introduced the concept of an ergonomic ladder rack.
Our design philosophy starts with the worker – how can we make the job safer, easier and more comfortable for the human body? That is because we firmly believe that a product’s design and how it impacts the user is every bit as important as the quality of materials and construction.
We designed the ErgoRack to reduce muscle stress, eliminate risk of injury and speed the job of loading and unloading ladders from a work van.
Configuration Types
Horizontal Rotation
Easily rotate a ladder from the stowed position to the deployed position
- Ergonomic design for improved safety and ease of use

High Roof

Accessing a ladder on a high roof can prove a challenge. We have answered the challenge with two unique features:
- On racks equipped with a side extension, the ladder can be lowered an additional 22 inches.
- A removable handle provides easy access for operators of any height.

The lightweight, yet rugged design can carry all of your cargo and withstand challenging weather conditions.
Plus, the aerodynamic design looks modern, reduces fuel consumption and ensures almost silent travel.

Compact packaging for the spliced conduit carrier components minimizes shipping and handling expenses or challenges.
