Cargo Ease Ladder Racks: Engineering That Works as Hard as You Do

When it comes to getting ladders safely on and off a work van or truck, not all racks are created equal. Cargo Ease has built a reputation as a brand that takes the hard work out of cargo handling, and their ladder rack lineup is no exception. Designed for tradespeople who load and unload ladders multiple times a day, Cargo Ease ladder racks prioritize ergonomics, safety, and all-weather durability in a way that sets them apart from basic crossbar solutions.

The G2000 Harrier: A Drop-Down Ladder Rack Built Around the Operator

The flagship of Cargo Ease's ladder rack offering is the G2000 Harrier, a fully assisted drop-down system engineered in partnership with Italian manufacturer Gentili. The G2000 Harrier offers a fully assisted ladder mounting and deploying system with an easy glide, single person operation. This is a critical distinction on busy job sites, where calling for a second set of hands to load a heavy extension ladder is neither practical nor safe.

A set of dampers makes the slide drop to the ground and raise automatically with controlled movement, protecting the operator from risks and accidents so they can handle the ladder effortlessly. The G2000 Harrier handles single ladders up to 44 feet long and 132 lbs with servo-assisted dampers that lower the slide smoothly to ground level, enabling effortless loading without roof climbs or awkward heaves.

Versatility and Universal Compatibility

This product can be used as a ladder rack for vans, trucks, or any other vehicle as it is compatible with almost anything on the market. The Harrier is specifically designed and manufactured ready to utilize the factory roof mounting points for most applications , meaning no drilling into your vehicle's roof in most cases. No problem of width or length — any type of ladder can be transported with the G2000 Harrier, and the width of the retainers can be adjusted to secure ladders of various lengths.

Built to Last in Any Condition

The G2000 Harrier is made of anodized aluminum that makes it indestructible and long-lasting, with key features including weather resistance, a longer life cycle, and reduced maintenance. Specifications include a central tilting mechanism, reinforced fixing brackets, and stainless steel bolts to prevent oxidation and corrosion for longer duration. From aluminum builds to powder-coated steel, these racks stand up to daily use — backed by a 5-year warranty that beats industry standards.

Safety Certifications and Award-Winning Design

Beyond its functional engineering, the G2000 Harrier carries serious safety credentials. The Gentili G2000 Harrier ladder rack is certified by TÜV GS in terms of security and has passed the 20g crash test according to European regulation ECE R17. Design and aerodynamics have been matched to reduce air impact, noise, and fuel consumption — and in 2015 the G2000 Harrier was selected as one of the best products in the "Design for Work" section at the ADI Design Index.
