The Invis-A-Rack Folding Ladder Rack is built for people who need hauling strength without losing everyday convenience. It carries up to 500 lbs of ladders, lumber, pipe, or weekend gear, then folds completely down into the built-in bed rail storage cases when you’re not using it. The uprights collapse in seconds, giving you full bed access and a clean look that doesn’t block your rear view or trailer clearance. It’s perfect if you use a 5th-wheel or gooseneck hitch—just fold the rear supports down and hook up your trailer without removing the rack.
Made from extruded aluminum, the rack is both sturdy and rustproof. It stands 31" above the bed rails when raised, giving you plenty of clearance for long loads while keeping weight down for better fuel efficiency. The textured black powder coat finish adds protection against wear and gives the rack a rugged, low-profile look. Even after years of use, it resists corrosion and surface damage from weather and road debris.
When folded away, the Invis-A-Rack stores completely inside 3-1/2" wide x 3" tall bed rail cases, blending in with your truck’s trim. The system looks neat and doesn’t draw attention when you’re off the clock. Fold it up for work or play, then drop it back down for a night out or a trip through the car wash—no tools, no hassle.
Installation takes about ten minutes with the included heavy-duty clamps and 1/8" thick foam strips that cushion the contact points. There’s no drilling required, so your truck bed stays protected. The 66" overall rail length fits snugly along the bed, and everything you need to mount it comes right in the box. Once it’s on, the rack is easy to raise, fold, or remove whenever you need to switch from work mode to weekend mode.
With a 500-lb weight capacity, the Invis-A-Rack handles ladders, long boards, and tools during the week, then kayaks, canoes, or hunting gear on the weekend. You can even use foam block carriers (sold separately) to add protection for boats or paddle gear. It’s a tough, all-aluminum rack that disappears when you don’t need it and shows up strong when you do.
Ratings & Reviews
1 year and still love it. Quality product
The direct shipment was boxed much more carefully and did not appear to have any shipping and handling damage like the previous delivery.
It is very unfortunate though, that at this price point, the product requires so much hand tuning to make work.
I realize now upon further inspection that the "in use" pictures show the black mounting hardware and the factory pictures show the unpainted bare aluminum hardware..... So all the mounting hardware had to be painted black to match the rack.
Again, half of the plastic in place arrived broken.
The keyhole slots in which the plastic end/joining plates insert into were not milled or formed correctly on any of the four pieces of the folding rack, all had to be hand tooled to fit and then repainted.
The product is advertised as black powder coated, but not only is the interior but also parts of the exterior are not fully powder coated.
Lastly there are nicks and dings on the exterior casing of the rack.
So all in all... After two shipments and $xxx I guess this is simply the level of quality we get.... It's unfortunate and I'm unpleased with the product in general. I need this product though at the moment, so it is now installed.
I love that I don’t have to find a place in my garage to store this rack, and remove and replace it with each use. It’s fairly easy to load and tie down my canoe single-handed. The loaded rack is quiet and feels secure at highway speeds and on rough roads. Set up and take-down is quick and easy, and the bed-rail look is unobtrusive. The product has met my expectations in every way. Thanks.
It will do the job. The fastening leaves a lot to be desired. I will have to put additional fasteners (bolts or screws) to make it a secure mount. the Center pieces are only held in place by little plastic end caps which are cheap and will not work. With the additional fasteners I feel like it will be fine but a bit overpriced for what it is.
Super product! Well constructed, sturdy, and easy to put together/install. Looking forward to receiving/using my other etrailer purchases and future sourcing from them.
Very pleased. Exactly what we expected. Only issue is the driver side back plate that is glued on came off and is gone.
This Rack is Awesome, loaded a bunch of 16'x7" board's from the lumber yard. And it didn't squeak, Rattle or flex around one bit. As if they were not even up there. Very pleased with it!
So far, so good. It arrived on time. The only things broken were two of the plastic "insert" pieces that go between the rails, but thankfully I only have a 5 1/2' bed, so I didn't really need them. I had it installed by the mechanics I was taking my truck to for other work and they said it installed pretty easily and one of the mechanics is going to get one for his own personal truck. We practiced setting it up and taking it down before I left. I can definitely do this on my own. I absolutely LOVE this product. I didn't want something that "whistled in the wind" or created drag every day even when I wasn't hauling the kayaks, so this is perfect. Thank you!
Great product. I use it to haul kayaks and lumber. It's surprisingly strong and sturdy. I put 300 lbs of lumber on it and never heard so much as a squeak. Installation was straightforward. I'll definitely buy another one for my next truck.
Easy to install and looks clean!
