Military Truck Vehicle Boarding Ladder M35 M37 M715 on 2040-parts.com
Columbus, Ohio, US
Military Vehicle Boarding Ladder – works great for both trucks and trailers! The ladder is all steel, 4 step, with expanded mesh on steps. It has hooks welded on the top that can be narrowed or flattened depending on use, and as it is steel, you can easily add hooks to fit different applications. It is brand new, but may have some storage marks, paint chips, etc on it. It probably works best on a rise of 36”, but it very usable as is for a rise up to 42” tall. NOTE: In the pictures below, this ladder is sitting up against a M35 double bumper sitting on 395x85x20 Michelins so it is a bit higher than your normal M35 series truck. J Not real sure of the original use, but have been told it may have fit some type of ambulance. I have personally used this type of ladder on several different trucks and they work great – including the ¾ ton series (M37 types), and 5/4 ton series (M715, Dodges, M1008s and M1009s), and even work well on the bumperettes on 2.5 ton trucks (M35 series). As far as trailers, both modified and unmodified they work pretty well. They are great for kitchen trailers (with the hooks bent flat), semi vans – the ones with the lower level pintle support plate are perfect, and the smaller MV trailers – ¾ ton M101 series, and 1.5 ton M105 series. NOTE: This is a surplus US military item, and as such, it will only be sold to US Citizens and shipped to US Addresses. No Exceptions. The ladder is heavy – coming in around 45 lbs, but can ship UPS fine, but it would go out at an oversize rate. Local pickup is fine on this, but for those who want it shipped, I will cut some wood pieces to place under the hooks, and then wrap in plastic wrap to help protect it in transit. I have entered the data into the Ebay shipping calculator, and it seems to be coming up pretty accurate, but I can always double check for you at the end of the auction so you get the exact shipping cost. Rough estimates from the UPS Website are: St Louis - $35; Tampa, Dallas, or Boston - $40; Denver - $50; and Los Angeles $65 If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
