Got my new rhino ladder clamps today

How much better than having to mess around with screw down ones

 
They look good... Let us know how you get on with them :thumbsup:

I was thinking of getting some before I had to change the van but no real advantage for me now as I have a pull down rack system that you only need to put one clamp on (for extra security) that takes seconds to do. Ladder is held in place by a great big bracket that the rungs go through plus long side rails.

 
I was chatting to a windie in stoke Newington the other week who was using them..I said are they actally ok as I had heard of them being a bit unreliable but he said he has used em since they invented them with no problems and showed me how to ise them
