“With the RigCraftor foldable ladder, it’s improved things beyond belief.”
Ben, Class 1 Driver, Givesco
At a glance
-
Company: Givesco
-
Industry: Construction Materials & Flatbed Logistics
-
Challenge: Chronic strain and injury risk from 30+ daily "jumps" off flatbed trailers.
-
Solution: RigCraftor Foldable Ladder
-
The ROI: Eliminates high-impact landings, ensures 100% safety compliance, and speeds up loading cycles.
The Challenge: The Cost of Every Jump
For Ben and the team at Givesco, the real danger isn't the road—it’s the "last yard." Delivering stone, masonry, and siding requires constant trailer access.
The standard industry approach is a recipe for injury:
-
Repetitive Impact: Jumping down 25–30 times a day leads to "micro-traumas" in the knees, ankles, and lower back.
-
The "Side-Climb" Struggle: Standard rear steps often force a twisted body position, lacking stable handholds.
- Environmental Hazards: In the winter, those metal steps become ice-covered sliding boards.
The Solution: Engineering Better Access
The RigCraftor Foldable Ladder was integrated into Benoit’s daily workflow to replace "improvisation" with "engineering."
-
Speed: Deploys in seconds with a secure pin-lock system.
-
Ergonomics: Provides straight-on access with dual handrails, ensuring the driver always has three points of contact.
Versatility: Mounts directly to the flatbed or side pockets, moving with the driver as they work the load.
The Results: Essential, Not Optional
Since adopting the RigCraftor, the "jump" has been eliminated from Ben’s vocabulary. Regardless of rain or ice, the non-slip treads provide a consistent, stable platform. For Givesco, this isn't just about comfort—it's about keeping their best drivers on the road and out of the clinic.
For flatbed drivers, boom truck operators, or anyone hauling construction materials, the ladder becomes essential equipment, not an optional add-on.
As Ben sums it up:
“If you work on a flatbed, you need a ladder like this. What more do you need to understand?”
