Product Spotlight - Zico LAS Extender

  When looking at the design of your new truck, one usually looks at the height of equipment and tries to keep everything to be easily accessible.  In the case of ladders mounted on the side of the truck, it is hard to have higher compartments over the wheel wells just because it raises the ladders up and makes them hard to access.  Sometimes even with a Zico LAS (Ladder Access System) the ladders still aren't easily accessed.

Ziamatic (Zico) has released a new version of it's LAS.  It is the LAS Extend Down.  It is similar to the standard LAS rack, but it incorporates a pulley system to allow the ladders to extend down an additional 12".  This means you are able to increase the compartment heights while maintaining the ladders accessibility.
