Van Ladder Customer for 18 years
We’ve slowly replaced our previous aerial ladders with the longer-reach Van Ladder product. Today’s lifts are aluminum, which makes them lighter, so we can more easily put a longer reach ladder on our vehicles. Our fleet includes ten 45’ Van Ladders, which can handle 98% of our work. We rarely need to rent a lift to reach higher for a job. Not having to deploy outriggers speeds up the service time, which in turn saves the customer money.
We came to choose the Van Ladder product for its overall value and features not found in any other aerial device. The Van Ladder itself is a very rugged unit , easy to use , easy to maintain, and easy to make any repairs. The lift functions very smooth for an electric unit with multi-function capabilities . Though the ladder would look to be lightweight , it is actually very ridged due to the traveling lift cylinder mount. This is combined with a chassis and body combination that has a wealth of storage space and is easy to drive. Not needing the chassis engine running while the lift is being used is also a great profit aspect for the end user. The staff at Van Ladder are all very professional and are constantly striving for new ideas and superior customer support. We recommend the Van Ladder to our customers because we see the value in all of these features. Value means profit and profit means long standing relationships with our customers.
I bought my first Van Ladder in 2008 and traded it for the new one in 2014. Before Van Ladder, we had to depend on outside help for measuring and installing. The ability to do it in house has made quoting and service much easier and faster. Increased sales and profits are the result. We rarely have a situation that our Van Ladder does not meet our needs. It is very easy to use and maintain. The battery operation works very well and saves gas and engine wear. The few times that we have had an issue with our unit, the folks at Van Ladder have been very helpful getting the problem solved. I highly recommend Van Ladder for all of the above reasons. The Van Ladder allows us to reach the places we need to reach and we can carry everything we need for the job enclosed in the van.
I have used Brinks Van Ladders exclusively for the past 15+ years. I have found the quality and reliability of their units to be second to none. Being able to utilize the entire inside of the vehicle for parts storage has proven to be very important to my business. The entire staff is very knowledgeable and honest without question. As long as they are building Van Ladders, that is what I will buy.
