Recently, we explored the debate of what’s a better investment for work: the traditional pickup or the Euro-style van. After weighing the pros and cons of each, we determined that, at the end of the day, it depends on what your daily grind looks like. And, ultimately, if your 9 to 5 includes rough terrain and messy payloads, a pickup might be your best bet. However, the Euro van held its own against the age-old ‘Murican work horse, showcasing its roomy and enclosed cargo area, impressive payload, smooth ride, and growing aftermarket support.

And amid those aftermarket companies offering useful and high-quality van upgrades, is SURCO—a premier automotive accessory manufacturer with more than 45 years in the biz. With a stellar reputation for top-notch products and loyal customers, the company provides solutions for a variety of applications. And those of you seeking some added accessibility to your work van should check out SURCO van ladders.

Available in heavy-duty stainless steel or lightweight, high-grade aluminum, SURCO van ladders provide a sturdy, non-slip step surface for easy roof access.

Stainless Steel Ladders

Sporting a solid stainless-steel construction, these 4-step SURCO van ladders are electro-polish finished for an everlasting shine, guaranteeing a useful product that looks as good as it performs. With models available to fit all vans, these ladders come fully assembled for added convenience. Simply unbox and attach the ladder to your vehicle, thanks to SURCO’s “over the door” tabs.

Pair yours with a stainless-steel SURCO van roof rack for added functionality—complete with special tie-down loops for securing ladders, equipment, luggage, or even survival gear. It’s true, that as the overlanding trend continues to grow, we see Euro-style cargo vans becoming an increasingly popular choice of adventure rig. With roomy interiors and relatively easy-and-affordable upfitting options, more mobile dwellers are opting for their own version of the #vanlife craze. Additionally, the van’s design is expressly well suited for solar panel adoption. And if you strap those puppies to the roof, you’ll be needing a safe and handy way to access them.

Aluminum Ladders

If weight management is a concern, consider SURCO’s van ladders constructed of thick-gauge aluminum tubing. Lightweight but strong, these ladders are treated with a bright-dipped polished finish for a professional shine. The flat-grooved, non-slip steps ensure solid footing while the “over the door” hooks provide an easy installation. (Also available in a universal mount configuration.)

Like its stainless-steel counterpart, the aluminum van ladder is best paired with SURCO van roof rack (also available in lightweight aluminum) for maximum functionality. It’s worth mentioning, however, that this ladder is only available for Dodge, Ford, Chevy, and GMC vans. So, those of you living out of your Mercedes Sprinter will have to opt for the heavier steel version.

SURCO Van Tire Carrier

Those looking to add even more capability to their van upgrades, should consider the SURCO Van Tire Carrier. Sporting a solid, one-piece construction of black powder-coated heavy-duty steel, this product allows you to carry your spare tire on the rear door with confidence and ease.
