Ladder for a M109

[SGTStewart]

The ladder that came with my M109 is bent up bad. I am not a fabricator so I don't know if its fixable or not. Anyone have one near Minnesota?

Here are some pics.

Mine was about the same and I was able to pound it back into shape with a sledge hammer. Just have to take your time and not overdo the hits.

Get an aluminum one, you will be MUCH happier, though it will not fit on your carrier...

 

[SGTStewart]

I would like an aluminum one for weight savings, but I think that your right about it not fitting on the carrier. Any sources on these?

I got mine locally, I have heard that Saturn sell them. Try searching for "aluminum ladder", I seem to remember some posts about people searching for them.

The aluminum ladder is an easy one hander and that steel ladder must have lead bars in it, no contest there! I can tell you for a fact that the aluminum ladder will not fit the steel ladder hanger, the bottom is not the same.

What you looking for?

Mine has 5 steps, and came from Mr.Sermis (via Rory C)

What you looking for?

I am looking for one that has 5 steps and has 2 round pockets on each side for the hand railings. I will see if I can get a better picture of what I am looking for.

There's a boarding ladder ($125) at Saturn Surplus:

I bought an aluminum boarding ladder and also mounted a 10ft uhaul boarding ramp between the framerails. It's good to have options. I'd like to know how the aluminum ladders are supposed to be mounted, and I'd be equally interested in hearing about what any of you may rigged-up.

I's like to see a photo of the ramp, stowed and in use, I like that idea (A LOT)!

I've been meaning to posr some pics ans info. It fits perrrfectly. couldn't be any better if it had been made for the deuce.

The more pictures the better on the ramp. Would sure make loading the Shop Van a whole lot easier.

I wish I had thought of that! but all of my storage(saddlebags) is going under the floor so no chance in that for me.

I gave my ladder to a friend tonight. He is going to show it to some of the fabricators where he works. Hopefully they can get it fixed. I told him that it didn't have to be perfect, just better. Fingers crossed.

My aluminum ladder fit on my M109 hook? you just have to modify a way to secure it. I made a 2" nylon strap with a footman loop and it works fine!

With mods it will fit, but not in the stock mounts.
