Rhino SafeStow4 Features:
Loading and unloading assistance
Industry-leading and unmatched by any other product on the market, the SafeStow4 revolutionizes ladder handling. Ladders can be mounted and dismounted with minimal effort, all from the safety of ground level, thanks to adjustable gas rams. These rams offer five different positions to accommodate various ladder weights, fully optimizing the assisted lifting and lowering performance based on your vehicle.
Belt straps & storage
The SafeStow4's BeltStow system utilises two straps to pull the ladder in place tightly to minimise any movement while in transit or while deploying ladders. The innovative BeltStow system also ensures that both straps can be stored when a ladder is not being held - preventing them moving freely and noisily during transit.
Two cross bars with rubber inlay
The SafeStow4 comes with 2 cross bars with rubber inlay to cushion and protect the ladder, minimising any risk of abrasive damage. The introduction of rubber inlays ensure that your ladder doesn’t come into contact with the aluminium of the SafeStow4 at any point, to prevent damage occurring.
SafeClamp included
Our industry leading ladder clamp is included as standard, securing the ladder downwards while the SafeStow4's straps pull it in opposite lateral directions. Two SafeClamps are provided for double SafeStow4 systems. * Please note: SafeClamp is not compatible with our CAT ladder SafeStow4 systems.
Load Stops
Four load stops are included with the SafeStow4 as standard, catering for different width ladders, minimising any damage to the ladders while in transit.
Rubber inserts on brace bar
Rubber inserts on the brace bar effectively absorb vibrations and prevent metal-on-metal contact, significantly reducing rattling noise during transit.
Rubber bump stops
The front cross rail has rubber bump stops which cushion the system as it slides into the stowed position, for quiet and smooth operation.
Lockable for added theft-deterrence
By incorporating a robust locking mechanism, it acts as a deterrent to potential thieves, ensuring that ladders remain secure when left unattended. (padlock not included)
