Video Transcript for Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack Folding Ladder Review

Speaker 1: Today, we're gonna be taking a look at the Rhino Rack folding ladder for the Rhino Rack Pioneer platform racks, part number RRRAFL. This is a lightweight aluminum ladder that attaches to your existing Rhino Rack Pioneer platform and enables you to get to whatever cargo you may have on the roof.The ladder is very easy-to-use and take on and off. It simply just hooks right into place and the ladder brackets themselves can be moved along the side here by loosening up the bolts or you can remove them completely and put it on the back or the other side of the vehicle if you need it.The feet are adjustable to accommodate for uneven ground and for the height of vehicles as well. You simply pull the pin on each side and adjust it to wherever you needed to.The ladder also sits out at an angle away from the vehicle to ensure there's no vehicle contact. This has a 275-pound weight capacity and also has grooved non-slip steps to prevent accidents.It also has a black powder coat finish, which is gonna resist rust and corrosion. At its shortest, it's gonna measure 78 and 3/4 of an inch tall.

With it fully extended, it's gonna be at 91 and 1/2 inches. The overall width of the ladder is 12 and 1/4 inches wide and the inner measurement is gonna be 9 and 3/4 inches from these edges.One of the best things about this ladder is once you're finished using it, you can pull the pins on either side, fold it up, and place it in your garage or your vehicle, so you can use it once you get to your destination.Once you open up the package, this is all the hardware that's gonna come with it as well as the ladder itself. The ladder does come folded up. And then we have the mounts for the Pioneer rack and the mounting hardware for these mounts.We'll focus on installing our brackets onto our Pioneer rack. To do that, we'll first take the hardware that comes included and that starts with the metal brackets here, which get put into the channels to help tighten these down.So, we'll take our bracket, we'll place it inside the channel, and slide it into the general area where our brackets are gonna be.

Then we can start setting our ladder brackets in place. You want to make sure that they're situated properly with the padded side here resting on our Pioneer rack itself.Set it down in the general vicinity there. Line up our hole. So then we'll take our bolt with our lock washer and our flat washer, line up the holes with our catch that we have in there and tighten it down.We're just hand tightening it down for now to make sure it doesn't fall out. And we'll repeat this for our other ladder bracket.Before we tighten down our ladder brackets, we're actually gonna fold out our ladder and set it in a place so have the spacing down just right and then we can tighten them down.

We'll set it in the general vicinity of where we're gonna hook it into place and we'll make adjustments to our brackets as needed.Then, we'll move our ladder out of the way. Take our included allen tool and tighten down our ladder bracket so it's nice and tight. Now, we'll test it out and hook it into place. And we're ready to load up our Pioneer or get to whatever it is we have on our Pioneer and take it off.There you have it for the folding ladder for the Rhino Rack Pioneer platform racks, part number RRRASL.
