The access ladder fits onto the rear of any semitrailer as long as it has the holes for a rear load rack. The access ladder is incorporated into the load rack which is 900mm high. When not being used the ladder folds up out of the way.

When needed it simply folds down and personnel can climb up the ladder with the help of the two hand rails, then open the self-closing gate & enter the deck of the trailer. By having it on the rear it does not have to be removed for loading of the trailer & means less chance of the freight obstructing the opening of the gate.
