james.wilson Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 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. ladders http://youtu.be/J-Q_bDVyLxI securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

james.wilson Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 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 http://www.midlandladders.com/products/6_Rung_Little_Giant_Professional-414-74.html securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Ronnie Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
