It’s simple math: Healthy Workers + Thoughtfully Made Equipment = an Efficient Workplace!
#ErgoRack eliminates the strain from unloading and stowing #heavyladders onto work vehicles.
This regularly performed operation can get cumbersome, especially when factoring in ladder weights, ladder lengths, operator body types, and vehicle heights. Quite often, a worker takes the unnecessary risk of climbing on a vehicle’s tire or bumper to complete this task.
Prime Design took an #ergonomic approach to create a solution that puts work ladders at easily accessible heights, allows for smooth and controlled movements without placing undue stress on the user’s body, and enables deployment or stowage in seconds!
Make it easy for workers to unload and stow heavy ladders onto their work vehicles' roofs here:

Multistage vehicle certification is a critical process that ensures a newly manufactured vehicle meets all required safety standards and regulatory requirements before it hits the road.
This explainer video unpacks multistage manufacturing — a foundation of the commercial vehicle industry — and why final-stage certification is essential for every vehicle.
Whether you're a manufacturer, upfitter, or fleet professional, understanding this process is key to building compliant, road-ready vehicles.

Compared to other automakers, Ford has the most extensive lineup of trucks, ranging from the compact Maverick all the way up into full-size Super Duty land. But which one is right for you? In this video, Edmunds’ Emme Hall compares the 2026 Ford Maverick, 2026 Ford Ranger, 2026 Ford F-150 and 2026 Ford F-250 to help you decide which one is the best fit.
Small or compact trucks like the Ford Maverick have great prices and will fit just about anywhere, but can they tow or haul enough for you? Midsize trucks like the Ford Ranger can do a lot, with more power and capability than small trucks, but they may not be flexible enough for your needs. Full-size or large trucks like the famous Ford F-150 are mighty capable and comfortable, but can also be expensive and may be overkill for your needs. Big heavy-duty trucks like the Ford F-250 have massive power and massive towing and hauling ability, but they also come with massive price tags and...they're just plain massive.
So how much truck do you actually need?

Everything you think you know about Chinese pickup trucks is wrong.
For decades, Americans were told Chinese trucks were cheap, weak, and disposable. But in 2025, that myth has officially collapsed. In this video, we rank the Top 5 Most Powerful Chinese Pickup Trucks that are embarrassing legacy brands like Ford, Toyota, and Chevrolet — not just on paper, but in real-world performance, technology, and price.
We’re talking about 435+ horsepower hybrid trucks, 800 Nm of torque, 0–60 times faster than Raptors, interiors with massaging seats, 5-star safety tech, lidar cameras, vehicle-to-load power, and prices that feel almost illegal. Yes — one of these trucks costs less than a base Toyota Corolla in the US.
From the Nissan Z9 PHEV with insane torque, to the Geely Radar RD6 EV that can power your house, the MG U9 luxury super truck, the Changan Hunter REEV with 1,000 km range, and the absolute monster — the BYD Shark 6 — this list proves one thing:
The future of pickup trucks is already here… and it’s not coming from Detroit.
If you’re a truck fan, EV skeptic, or just someone who loves seeing the industry shaken up, this video will change how you see pickups forever.
Some jobs don’t leave room for compromise. For rural crews, land managers and firefighters, payload isn’t just a figure on a spreadsheet, it’s survival. That’s why Ford’s Australian engineers built something different: the Ranger Super Duty with a 4,500kg gross vehicle mass(*1)–designed to handle the heaviest jobs when things get tough.
Drew O’Shannassay, program manager for the Ranger Super Duty, set the goal: the ability to carry 1,000 litres of water with enough payload capacity1 left over for pumps, hoses and all the gear a crew needs on the front line.
The Australian Ford engineering team created a light-attack fire truck prototype with a custom-built, 1,000-litre tank. With two crew and the tank filled with water, it weighed in at near maximum capacity (*2). We then handed over the truck to specialist crews who need to haul heavy equipment into Australia’s tough and remote environments, so they could push the Ranger Super Duty to its limits.
For teams operating in remote areas, overloading isn’t just a compliance issue; it’s a safety risk. To remove the guesswork, engineers integrated Ford’s Onboard Scales3. Using sensors that measure the suspension’s compression, Ford’s Onboard Scales(*3) provides a live estimate of the payload on the SYNC® screen.

Payload (based on Minimum Kerb Weight) is the maximum combined value of occupants, cargo, added accessories, added structures and tow ball download (when towing). Minimum Kerb Weight includes the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, without occupants, luggage or cargo and with the lightest possible orderable combination of factory options. Minimum Kerb Weight excludes tray. Vehicle weights are approximate and subject to individual variances. Vehicles should be weighed before and after adding additional load, accessories or towing a trailer to ensure the maximum Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), Gross Combined Mass (GCM) and Gross Axle Weight Ratings are not exceeded. When operating at maximum payload, tyres should be inflated to the recommended pressure of 65psi.

During development, the Australian designed and engineered Ranger Super Duty was pushed to the limit in a series of robustness tests designed to mimic real-life scenarios. One of the dirtiest was the mud-packing test.
Simulating an extreme build-up of mud on the vehicle, the test for Ranger Super Duty was Ford’s toughest ever. A critical test, mud can severely impact the performance and lifespan of critical components.
Our Ford Australia engineers drove the Ranger Super Duty on a specially designed heavy-duty mud track Victoria, delivering a variety of terrain, including mud ruts, bog holes and open sections of thick mud. The team also tested extensively on real-world, enthusiast-level tracks known for their mud.
Ranger Super Duty has been designed, developed and tested to thrive in extreme locations for those who need to rely on their truck when the going gets toughest.
DISCLAIMER: Pre-production vehicle being driven by professional driver. Specifications, features, finishes and accessories may vary on production model. Exercise caution, drive responsibly, and adhere to local laws and regulation, prioritising safety and responsible off-road driving at all times. Prototype weighed before and after testing to determine weight of ‘packed mud’. Check the tyres, underbody, steering, suspension, exhaust system and radiator for damage or debris after driving in muddy environments and clean as needed. If you experience unusual vibration after driving in mud, slush, or similar conditions check the wheels for impacted materials. Remove the material as required.
