AVATA Side Ladder – VW T5 / T5.1 / T6
Designed for easy and safe roof access, the AVATA Side Loader is a heavy-duty modular side ladder system developed specifically for Volkswagen T5, T5.1, and T6 models equipped with AVATA roof rack systems.
Built from premium materials and engineered for demanding use, the Side Loader provides stable and comfortable access to rooftop cargo, tents, storage systems, and accessories while maintaining a clean OEM+ appearance.
The ladder system is compatible with both SWB and LWB models and integrates seamlessly with all AVATA roof rack systems designed for Volkswagen T5 / T5.1 / T6 platforms.
Premium Construction
The AVATA Side Loader is constructed using 4 heavy-duty 40×40 mm aluminum profiles combined with 3 mm stainless steel side plates and structural components for maximum rigidity and long-term durability.
All mounting hardware throughout the system is fully stainless steel and uses high-strength 10.9-grade fasteners for reliable performance in all weather conditions.
Adjustable Design
The ladder system features an adjustable stand-off distance from the vehicle body, allowing the setup to be configured for both appearance and climbing comfort.
The product photos show the ladder in its maximum extended position, providing the most comfortable access to the roof rack system.
Magnetic Lower Mounting System
The lower section of the ladder is stabilized using two ultra-strong 88 mm rubber coated neodymium magnets.
Features include:
55 kg pull force per magnet
Rubber coated surface for paint protection
Strong and stable mounting support
Improved grip and vibration reduction
The magnetic mounting system helps secure the ladder without permanent modifications to the vehicle body.
Legal & Practical Design
Thanks to the removable mounting system and non-permanent body attachment, the AVATA Side Loader is classified as cargo rather than a permanent vehicle modification.
This allows the system to maintain practicality while avoiding unnecessary modifications to the vehicle itself.
Powder Coated Finish
All components are finished in a premium semi-gloss black coating for:
UV resistance
Corrosion protection
Durable surface finish
Clean OEM+ appearance
