Ladder Rack Truck

A Ladder Rack Truck is an ideal work rig for construction jobs where you need to carry heavy ladders, lumber and cargo. Many ladder rack trucks also come with a toolbox installed to store all your gear and tools.

Ladder Racks for Work

If you are looking to start a new or side business in construction, home improvements etc. then a good quality used contractor ladder rack truck would be well worth checking out.

Ladder racks are perfect for short and long hauls. They make it easy to carry lumber, ladders, pipes, and heavy bulky equipment. Some of the better ones have extra tie down bars, which are conveniently positioned to safely fasten your cargo.

Ladder Racks for Fun

Of-course, ladder racks are not solely for work alone. Many people use their racks for fun-filled adventures like surfing, skiing and other fun sports where the carriage of long equipment such as a boat or canoe is required.

Easy-On, Easy-Off Ladder Racks

Some ladder racks can be very easy to fit and require no drilling and adjust to fit many different kinds of truck. Not having to drill your truck to fit a ladder rack can be a huge advantage should you need to temporarily transfer your rack to a different truck while yours is in the shop. Also, having an easily adjustable rack that fits most trucks with long or short beds can save you a lot of hassle, should you ever need to do a quick transfer.

If you only have an occasional need for a ladder rack then you might consider a removable ladder rack. These removable racks are designed to be easily fitted or removed whenever you need to carry a ladder or some long material, which can be just the thing for trucks that double-up as a work or play vehicle.

Is Your Ladder Rack Fit Enough For The Job?

Depending on what kind of material you will be hauling, you need to consider how the ladder racks are constructed. If you shift lots of heavy lumber about each day you should look at heavy duty truck racks. However, if you do the occasional odd painting job, then a lightweight aluminum rack might do the trick.

Keeping Things Flat

Another type of rack that is worth considering, especially for very light and occasional work, is a flatbed hitch extender. This is a simple rack that mounts on to the hitch of your flatbed truck, which provides support for long lightweight lumber or ladders.

There are many different types of ladder racks available to choose from. Most racks are designed to fit the more popular trucks such as Dodge, Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan and Toyota.
