As some of you will know our last new van was a bippa. Wanted ideally another but got a better deal on a vauxhall (rebadged fiat).

 

seems like a good van, we habe bought those little giants (the 6.4m extended) i was thinking about and this van wont have a roof rack.

How heavy are the steps and what rating please

thats what i said?

thanks re van.

 

ladders are heavy to be fair but good. they have wheels to allow for dragging or sliding up a wall.

 

ive got them cos our fuel usage is huge on the vans and i reakon everything inside will make a saving. im gonna compare fuel use between this and the newest bippa (with bars and ladders) to see. But this combi is much bigger so should be worse on fuel

didnt get them from here but uk link

I have done a test on my car and a full tank of diesel is £95.00 ish, I get about 100 miles more with out any ladders on the roof.

i think it's a great concept but i can see them being very very time consuming to use around a building site.  we use zarges combi ladders @ 2.4m when down, at the moment they fit inside our transporter van but thats going soon for an estate
