Fast, Safe, & Secure Ladder Storage
Improve safety and increase productivity with the Lock-N-Go ladder clamping system. This optional DeployPro upgrade replaces the standard cam buckle straps and provides a strong, lockable, method for securing ladders to the DeployPro system. It’s fast, easy operation helps reduce the time spent storing and removing ladders from DeployPro. With Lock-N-Go, ladders stay safely in place while your fleet is on the GO!
The Lock-N-Go design features two Z-posts on a support that slide in and out when levers on each side are released. Pull both levers to release the slide clamping system. Slide both Z-posts to their outward position and position the ladder on the DeployPro. Next, slide the Z-posts inward until the levers engage (a “click” will be heard) securing the ladder in place. Optionally, a padlock can then be inserted into the Lock-N-Go’s padlock-ready center to deter ladder theft. With the ladder secured using Lock-N-Go, raise the DeployPro into its stowed position and the vehicle is ready for transit.
Models available to secure step or extension ladders.
