In 1997, Brink's Mfg. Co. purchased the
manufacturing rights for
the
Van LadderŽ from Eugene Faulstich, the original inventor. Since
then, Brink's Mfg. Co. has been on a relentless pursuit to build the
finest aerial ladders in the industry. Our aerial ladders can be
used in several different industries: sign installs and service,
lighting service, painting and cable TV. We've been listening to
our customer needs and have adapted our unit to best fit their
needs. We've built many bucket accessories to do sign
installation and service work of many kinds. Check out our
accessories page to see if we can help you also. Our units fit
on much smaller vehicles than our competition, giving you a more
affordable package price and saving you big $$$ on your fuel
bills. We build the Van LadderŽ to OSHA, ANSI and CAN/CSA
Standards.
Brink's Mfg. Co. considers it an honor to have part in
providing for the aerial needs of many companies, small or
large. We welcome you to join the family. Call us today,

About the Inventor:
Eugene Faulstich went to be with the Lord in 2006. May his work
and life continue to bless people in the years to come.
In every generation, it seems, there are those who have been endowed with
the unique gift of creating helpful inventions for the welfare of many. Back in
1968, Eugene Faulstich structured an idea that gave his cable TV company in Iowa a better
way of getting into the air. Eugene wouldn't need cumbersome extension ladders
anymore, or have to look to expensive boom trucks for his aerial needs. Eugene
designed and built the first Van LadderŽ
.
It was a unique, practical, lightweight, and affordable aerial ladder. The
Van LadderŽ provided an all-electric way for the cable TV company to achieve a safe, low
maintenance means to get into the air. The aerial ladder required no vehicle
outriggers and mounted on any van or pickup. Eugene covered
the design with 11 domestic and foreign patents and went into production.
Van LadderŽ, Inc. quickly became known
world wide as "the best low cost system to meet the needs of the utility and
service industries!" The patented "floating fulcrum" design on the
Van LadderŽ was a major breakthrough for Eugene Faulstich. With this concept,
Van LadderŽ aerial lifts required no interior reinforcement and no outriggers! It had
reduced a two-man crew down to one! The orders started coming in! A rural electric
co-op, a city electrical department, a local electrical contractor, CATV, telephone
companies, tree trimmers, painters, and sign companies. In 1970 Van LadderŽ
, Inc. was
in full production, and by 1978 it employed 70 people in a factory which was 40,000 sq.
ft. They produced and sold over 4,000 units! Then Eugene
Faulstich was called into full-time Christian ministry. He sold the company and started an Iowa-based research
center for Biblical chronology called the "Chronology History-Research
Institute." Eugene wanted to contend for the truth of the
historical Biblical record.
Eugene and his associates launched a major computerized study to verify
ancient Biblical dates. They found every date in the Bible
is absolutely verifiably true
and that these dates formed patterns which pointed to Jesus, giving witness to the fact
that God had a plan in history.
