Access the roof of your adventure van with the most innovative ladder yet, the Sprinter Apex Side Ladder. The Sprinter Apex Ladder has better ground clearance than any side ladder on the market for Sprinter vans and features robust, machined billet components for extra strength and durability.
The Apex Sprinter Side Ladder features an integrated system where every component works together to maximize performance. The lower mount is a machined billet single bracket that attaches to the pinch seam and leaves ample ground clearance. The two ladder halves connect with a machined coupler system, delivering exceptional strength and a straightforward assembly. The top of the Apex Ladder uses a machined billet, clevis-style upper mount for durability and ease of installation in the roof rails.
The lower steps are angled for easier climbing and narrow at the base for convenient ladder placement. With the narrower lower steps, the Sprinter Apex Ladder can be placed further back than the standard Sprinter Van Side Ladder, allowing T-vent or pop-out windows to open fully on Mercedes Sprinter 144 vans. Each step has formed and dimpled ovals in the flat steps for stable footing and superior traction, and the angles of the ladder match the body of the Sprinter van for clean aesthetics. The Apex ladder also offers slots and holes in the face of the steps for mounting accessories.
The Sprinter Apex Ladder is an essential upgrade, but it adds minimal weight at just 18 pounds. This versatile ladder integrates perfectly with our Sprinter Roof Racks for high roof vans, and the 1.25” tubing makes it a perfect companion with the Sprinter Surf Pole. With the Sprinter Apex Ladder, you can enjoy the best ground clearance and quick and reliable access to the roof whenever you need to retrieve gear, clean the solar panels, or catch the sunset from the rooftop deck.
