Whether you’re hauling gear in an Aluminess roof rack or just using a basic storage box, the roof of your Sprinter is prime real estate for bulky cargo. The catch? Getting up there safely to secure it all.
That’s where the Aluminess Rear Door Ladder comes in. Made from lightweight, all-aluminum construction, it bolts directly into factory mounting points—no complicated pivots or ball joints needed! For added grip and safety, the top of the ladder is shaped to lock in your foot for more confident climbing.
It’s unique mounting design swings with the door on the same plane so no ball joints are needed. This means no maintenance or parts to wear out!
Want even more function? Go for the combo kit. It includes a mount for a box or spare tire and a set of sleek, offset steps that let you climb easily around your mounted gear.
Key Features:
- Easy no-drill installation utilizes factory mounting points and does not require complicated ball joints.
- No drill, no dent: Bolt-on item – requires no drilling through your door. Drilling through the thin sheet metal of your van door might cause future dents and damage to your van!

Curved ladder tops are dangerous and don’t provide the support necessary when both climbing and securing cargo at the same time.
