About Cotterman Ladders Company

Cotterman Ladders Company has been a pioneer in ladder manufacturing since its inception. Cotterman delivers high-quality ladders at the lowest possible cost and specializes in a wide array of ladder types. They proudly make their ladders in the USA, ensuring durability and innovation so users have the best tools for their needs.

Cotterman Ladder Track Systems

Cotterman manufactures several innovative track ladder systems designed to make reaching high shelves effortless. These systems include SingleTrak, DualTrak, and DualSideTrak. Cotterman uniquely crafts each product to meet specific customer requirements, commonly applying them in retail stores where accessibility is key.

SingleTrak-Steel Ladder

The SingleTrak-Steel Ladder is perfect for small storage spaces, providing stress-free access to shelves. This rugged, all-welded steel ladder features a smooth rolling upper track fixture and wheels, ensuring easy movement along the track. Positioned at an 80º angle against the shelf, it’s both easy to use and store.

Key Features

Rugged Design:
All-Welded Steel Construction

Cotterman’s SingleTrak-Steel Ladder is built to last with its all-welded steel construction. This robust design ensures that the ladder can withstand heavy use and harsh conditions, making it a reliable tool for both commercial and residential settings. The steel construction also adds an extra layer of safety, providing a sturdy and stable platform for users to reach high shelves and storage areas without worry.

Easy Movement:
Smooth Rolling Upper Track and Wheels

Navigating tight storage spaces becomes effortless with the smooth rolling upper track and wheels of the SingleTrak-Steel Ladder. The upper track fixture is mounted on the front shelf edge, allowing the ladder to glide seamlessly along the track. This feature eliminates the need to lift or carry the ladder, reducing strain and increasing efficiency. Whether you need to access multiple shelves quickly or move the ladder out of the way, the smooth rolling mechanism ensures easy and hassle-free operation.

Secure Access:
Rough Tread Steps for Balance

Safety is paramount when working at heights, and Cotterman’s SingleTrak-Steel Ladder addresses this with its rough tread steps. These steps provide excellent grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls. The rough tread surface ensures that users maintain their balance while climbing up and down the ladder, even when carrying items. This secure footing is essential for preventing accidents and ensuring a safe working environment.

Space-Saving:
Tight Vertical Position for Storage

Maximizing floor space is crucial in any storage area, and the SingleTrak-Steel Ladder excels in this regard with its space-saving design. When not in use, the ladder can be positioned tightly against the shelves, taking up minimal space. This vertical storage position keeps the ladder out of the way, allowing for easy access to aisles and equipment. The compact storage solution is particularly beneficial in crowded or small storage areas where every inch of space counts.
