The Orion Transit Side Ladder is designed to provide easy access to the roof of your mid-roof transit van for a variety of tasks, such as cleaning solar panels, mounting gear, or simply enjoying rooftop views. Perfectly crafted to attach directly to our Mid Roof Ford Transit Stealth+ Rack, this ladder combines durability, safety, and versatility to enhance your van life experience.
Constructed from 1.25” aluminum tubing, this two-piece ladder offers strength and reliability while remaining lightweight at just 10 pounds. Its sleek design follows the natural lines of the Ford Transit, maximizing both aesthetics and functionality.

Whether you’re cleaning your solar panels, accessing roof-mounted gear, or just need quick access to your rooftop, this side ladder provides a sturdy, reliable solution.

While it is designed to work with the Orion Stealth+ Roof Rack, it may be compatible with other roof racks that are flat on the sides and have similar dimensions. We recommend verifying measurements before installing on non-Orion racks.
The ladder is not guaranteed to work with full-length running boards. Compatibility varies by brand, and in many cases the running board blocks the lower mounting bracket. If you want to keep full-length boards, you may need custom fabrication, such as shortening the ladder, modifying the bracket, or attaching it directly to your running board. Most Transit owners who run side ladders use half-length or three-quarter-length running boards, which leave the pinch seam open for mounting. If you are considering new running boards, we recommend those shorter styles for the best fit.
We understand that every van setup is unique. That's why we offer CAD-verified roof layouts for customers who have purchased or plan to purchase an Orion roof rack - so you can maximize space and fit exactly what you need, where you need it. Request a layout here ›

So far so good. Installed on my Sportsmobile converted dodge promaster. Waiting for the rain to see how it does in wet conditions. Once I figured out how to install it was VERY easy. Only ask would be more details on initial installation process since I wasn't sure exactly where to place the track. Once I got it installed and put the fly in the track it was so easy. Excited for how this will work on my pop-top van.
Love it! I researched a lot before deciding on Orion. I just think their design out looks all the others. This is functional, solid, and easy install. Customer service was excellent. They answered all my questions. I didn’t build my van, I bought it already done. Solar panel and all, I was able to move the solar panel to a better location using their solar panel brackets, I’ll easily add some decking following their recommendations of what decking product to use, and be able to store items I don’t want in the van. Love supporting a local Oregon business. Would recommend them to everyone. Oh and I got the rack with the lights. Totally recommend. The install was perfect and they really light up the night!
Thank you, Krysta! It’s so great to see everything come together on your van. We’re glad we could help you get the solar placement dialed in and plan for decking and extra storage. And thank you for sharing the videos showing off the rear scene lights and flush solar brackets; they’re a huge help to others planning their setups! We really appreciate your recommendation and support for a local Oregon business. Enjoy your adventures!
The ladder is awesome. Super solid. Customer service was also super awesome. Answered my zillion questions quickly through email. Orion products just look so sleek and … stealthy. Glad to support a local business as well. Maybe that’s why shipping was next day.
Hi Krysta, thank you for the video! Glad you love it! Made in Oregon!
great customer service and communication
Love the Stealth+ rack for my 2026 Ford Transit. Orion's team has been great to work with. Everything arrived on time and is high quality. Installation instructions via the PDF on their website were excellent. Text and graphics in the instructions were accurate and contained just the right amount of information.
