The Weather Guard 2291-3-01 Extended EZGLIDE2 rack solves that for mid-roof and high-roof vans by adding a slide-down stage: after the rack rotates down, the ladder slides an extra 2' lower so it comes within easy reach at the side of a tall Transit, ProMaster, Sprinter, or high-roof NV. It keeps everything that makes EZGLIDE2 the easiest drop-down system Weather Guard builds, smooth rollers on dual hydraulic dampers, interlocking ladder supports, and about 50 percent less effort than a typical rack, then extends the travel so a single tech can still load a 40' extension ladder off a high roof without a fight. Lightweight aluminum with Brite White ARMOR-TUF keeps the roof weight in check on the big vans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended EZGLIDE2 single-side drop-down ladder rack, aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide-down system that lowers the ladder an additional 2' after the drop-down rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross members with interlocking ladder supports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual hydraulic dampers and smooth-roller drop-down mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking latch for the raised position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClamps to secure a telescoping handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeather Guard installation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pki9w674JGQ\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlide-Down For Tall Roofs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the rack rotates down, an extra slide-down stage lowers the ladder another 2', closing the gap that a high van roof creates.
