When it comes to outfitting your RAM ProMaster for serious work, few accessories are more essential than a ladder rack. At Upfit Supply, we carry a range of solutions—but today we’re diving into one of our most popular: the Vantech H1 Ladder Rack for RAM ProMaster. Built tough, engineered smart, and packaged with care, this system is everything you need to turn your van into a fully capable jobsite rig.
We don’t manufacture this product, but we’ve worked with it firsthand, and we’re here to walk you through what you get when you open the box—and why it might be the right fit for your fleet.
What’s Inside the Box? | Unboxing Vantech H1 Ladder Rack for RAM ProMaster
The Vantech H1 Ladder Rack arrives in three well-secured boxes. This packaging is worth mentioning—it’s one of the things Vantech does best. The sub-packaged components are carefully wrapped to avoid shifting and damage during transit, making it ideal for direct shipping to job sites or your personal garage.
Once the outer box is removed, here’s what we found:
- Two upright mounting boxes (each containing 2 uprights)
- One crossbar box
- One accessory and hardware kit
This unboxing experience was straightforward and clean—exactly what you want when gearing up for installation.
Uprights and Crossbars: Core Features That Matter
Let’s start with the uprights. This specific configuration is the steel, black powder-coated, two-bar system. Vantech also offers aluminum versions, along with white finishes and three-bar options, depending on your needs.
The included uprights feature the classic V-shape design and have a wide footprint for increased stability. Each crossbar can support up to 250 lbs, although your van’s roof capacity should always be checked before loading.
Now for the crossbars:
- Made of durable steel
- Gloss black powder coat finish
- Open 2” x 1” rectangular profile
- Adhesive bar guard installation (as opposed to sliding guards on aluminum versions)
These bars are tough, dependable, and ready to handle the job—day in and day out.
Hardware Kit Highlights | Unboxing Vantech H1 Ladder Rack for RAM ProMaster
The accessory box is where Vantech really earns points in our book. Every piece is thoughtfully designed and neatly packed, preventing loose parts and missing hardware.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Hook-and-loop (Velcro) strap for securing ladders
- Ladder guide with twist knob for side-to-side stability
- Forward-facing ladder stopper to prevent forward motion
- Rubber bar guard to protect both your ladders and the crossbar
- Mounting plates and bolts specific to the RAM ProMaster’s T-stud roof system
- Installation guide with step-by-step diagrams and a full parts checklist
Each piece is crafted for both function and longevity. The rubber bar guard helps prevent damage and wear. The ladder stopper and side guide reduce noise and movement on the road. And the Velcro strap makes loading fast and frustration-free.
Installation Made Simple
Thanks to the ProMaster’s factory T-stud mounts, the H1 ladder rack system bolts on without modification. It’s a non-drill install, making it ideal for fleet vehicles or leased vans.
Installation steps include:
- Attach uprights using the included base plates and bolts
- Slide crossbars into place and secure with hardware
- Add rubber guards to crossbars
- Install ladder guide and stopper based on your ladder type
- Use Velcro strap to secure rear ladder rungs
With two people and basic tools, installation typically takes about an hour. It’s fast, solid, and easy to replicate across multiple vehicles.

The Vantech H1 Ladder Rack for RAM ProMaster isn’t just strong—it’s also versatile. You can choose from:
- Two-bar or three-bar setups
