Ladder for M373 trailers

[therooster2001]

I just ran across this ladder at Sportman's Guide. I have no idea how it would hook up to anything on a M923 as it's WAY too short. Does anyone know how this would work? It says:

All-aboard! Here's a safe, fast and easy way to move up in the world! Designed to swiftly load troops / gear into tall 6 x 6 cargo trucks. Now you can easily step into your pickup bed, boat or trailer. Use as steps to a loading dock, deer shack, blind, etc.

This misses says she wants a ladder, and I've seen the ones people have fabricated and the ones from Military guys, but these look good, just doesn't look like it would mount to anything.

Thoughts?

I think they're really too short for any 6x. They come to mid bumper/bumperette on my Deuce, which ever end your on.
I bought three. I'm going to splice two together to make one tall enogh for the Deuce. The other I'll do something with.

For the M923A2's you need a six step boarding ladder like 60 inches tall. a 5 step will work but I like the 6 steps better this is what mine looks like.

I just use a six foot step ladder. If others are going to use it I strap it to the truck.

Maybe I should paint it green so it is official.

The ladder in the OP is worthless.

The ladder you are looking at is a ladder for the M373 type trailer. there is a set of holes on the side of the trailer under the door. the round metal attachment is inserted into this hole, and the lever turned to rotate a cam that locks the ladder to the trailer. They are hard to find, and often sot for by the guys that have those type trailers.

Exactly. I was going to post this. I had a M373 with a ladder just like that. The attachment points at the top are a giveaway. Yes, anyone with a M373 trailer needs one of these and a spare.

You may want to look at discountramps.com Ladder-16-72. I am thinking about trying one.

Maybe an op can change this thread title to help M373 trailer guys. Thanks all.
