Tec Vanlife two-in-one tire ladder carrier and rear-door system installed on a Mercedes Sprinter
Rear-door systems for Sprinter and Transit

Carry the spare. Reach the roof. Move the gear outside.

Purpose-built tire ladder carriers and exterior storage boxes that turn unused rear-door space into a stronger, lighter and more useful part of your van.

One rear-door ecosystem

Built around access, load control and real travel gear.

A rear-door system should do more than hang weight from the van. Tec Vanlife designs around how you climb, how the spare tire is supported, how the carrier folds for service and how wet, bulky or dirty equipment stays outside the living space.

Tec Vanlife Tire Ladder Carrier

Two jobs. One compact rear-door structure.

The Sprinter Tire Ladder Carrier combines a high-strength aluminum ladder with a heavy-duty stainless-steel tire-support structure. Wide curved-extrusion steps create a sure foothold while helping keep boots away from the painted door as you climb.

The folding tire-holder arm simplifies access and service. A rubber cone centers and separates the spare from the support structure, while the tire rod can accept a lock for added security.

Curved anti-slip extrusion

The custom step shape adds grip and creates useful foot clearance so your boot is less likely to strike the van while climbing.

Folding tire-holder arm

The compact folding support makes tire handling and carrier access more practical without turning the rear door into a bulky fixed structure.

Sprinter and Ford Transit carrier options.

The two-in-one idea carries across both platforms, but rear-door hinges and mounting geometry are vehicle-specific. Always choose the carrier made for your van.

Storage box collection
Now explore our rear-door storage boxes.

Purpose-built aluminum and carbon-fiber options for tools, camp gear, generators, long equipment and everything you would rather carry outside the living space.

Exterior van storage

Boxes for generators, camp gear, skis, snowboards, golf bags and more!

The Grande, Venti and Trenta families cover everyday bulky equipment through long multisport gear. Each format is available in aluminum and a lightweight carbon-fiber-and-aluminum construction, letting you balance price, carrier load and the gear you need to move outside.

All-aluminum

Durable, repairable and well suited to generators, recovery equipment, tools and camping gear. Aluminum models provide the familiar rugged construction many van builders prefer.

Carbon-fiber hybrid

Engineered to preserve strength while reducing empty weight. Current specifications: Venti is 24.7 lb versus 52 lb in aluminum; Grande is 20.9 lb versus 37 lb in aluminum.

Plan the complete installation

Confirm the van, carrier and total installed load.

Vehicle and hinges

Confirm year, model, rear-door hinge type and available opening angle before choosing any tire ladder carrier.

Carrier compatibility

Match the storage box to its required rack or rear-door carrier and verify mounting-hole, latch and door-clearance requirements.

Complete weight

Add the carrier, empty box, spare tire and cargo—not just the product’s empty weight—then compare the total with the van and carrier limits.
