Default Transporting An Extension Ladder With A Car: How ?

d find something strong under there to tie onto. In the back you can
use the leaf spring anchors. In front you may have to reach well under to
find a solid attachment. Do not turn quickly, do not brake quickly, do not
accelerate quickly, drive with smooth fluid motion and anticipate all
changes in speed and/or direction to prevent the ladder from twisting off.

This advise is from someone who carried 300 pounds of 20 foot long re-rods
on a '67 Valiant with no incident.


If you try that on a modern car, you're likely to
crack the seal around the windshield.
