I always had a roof mounted ladder rack that was something of a pain for me to get our ladders on and off of, none of my employees could ever do it right and they would also end up smashing the lights at the top of the trailer eventually with the ladder. When I got a new trailer last year I purchased the side mounted ladder racks and I’m super super happy with them. Very easy to get ladders on and off, I typically use two people. They are extremely sturdy in their mounting. They do have rubber caps on the top of the vertical members, one of them has come off and now rain is going in that, minimal rust staining. But still very good quality on the metal. You do end up scratching the sides of your trailer with the ladder but it’s minor and cosmetic only, not functional damage like hitting my rear lights.

Sturdy built, installed them on my trailer with an extra bracket to hold a 12’ loading ramp. Ramp and trailer are used mostly for piano moving.

Overall quality of construction is sound and the basic design works well, but the hooks are not wide enough for double sided fiberglass ladders at their hinge end; kind of a big deal in the current ladder market. Also, the bungies supplied with the rack are of poor quality and cannot be relied upon; I use cargo ratchet straps. Saved a lot of space inside my work trailer and very roadworthy, but, I repeat, the hooks need to be 3-4 inches wider.
Comments
I would bump that up to 4 stars if I could. The racks held up really well over thousands of miles including so off road. Again, I would say that the hooks need to be wider, maybe 3 to 4 inches, but overall they have worked well and would highly recommend them.

Perfect solution for my job trailer. No struggles with roof mounted racks on the top of my van and it provides a level of extended materials handling for those random occasions of 20 foot pieces of pipe, framing, conduit, or trim that won’t fit into the trailer. Plus, they look really cool !!

Product arrived on time. Good packaging. Directions were clear and they installed quick. Only issue was length of bolts supplied for rails for enclosed trailer are too long. Had to go buy four 3” bolts then went right together. I don’t like the play in bolts supplied to mount racks to the rail. I’ll be changing them so they can’t move around as much.

I only wish there was fold down bracket on top of the rack on the sheet metal side to be able to lock down the rack. thereby making it virtually impossible to steal the ladders. You would have to cut 2 locks each to be able to remove the ladders. A very simple upgrade to a very nice product. You'll probably steal this idea implement it and i wont receive even a nickel for coming up with the idea.

view full answer... - Can Rack Em Ladder Racks be ShortenedWe sell a single ladder version of the rack you mentioned as part # PK-28WL-BM but it's the same height. That said there's no reason you couldn't cut down either version as needed.
view full answer... - Availability Of Additional Hooks For Pack'em Ladder Rack PK-28WL2-BMYes you can purchase more hooks for the Pack'em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BM separately. You will need the Ladder Rack Bracket Kit for Pack'em Enclosed and Utility Trailer Towers - Qty 2 # PK-28WL. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Easy to Use Ladder Rack Options for an Enclosed TrailerI do have an easy way that will allow you to carry multiple ladders on your enclosed trailer, however, none of them mount to the roof and tilt down for loading/securing. I recommend using the Pack'Em Ladder Rack part # PK-28WL2-BM as this will be your best option. The Pack'Em ladder racks attach to the exterior walls of your enclosed trailer and will allow you to carry up to 2 ladders on each side of the trailer without having to climb up on the roof to secure them.

- Difference Between Pack'em Ladder RacksThere is just one difference between the Pack'em Ladder Racks that you mentioned, which is the tower kits they come with, and that designates the type of trailer that they are designed to be used on, per the manufacturer. The towers have slightly different hole spacing and configuration depending on what they are designed for. The Utility Trailer Tower Kit # PK-BMH is designed for easy install on an open trailer with side rails and is included with the Pack'em Ladder Rack for Side Rail...

- Can Pack'Em PK-28WL2-BM Ladder Racks Be Installed in Interior of Enclosed Cargo TrailerAs long as you shot plenty of screws through the rack and the plywood into the existing wall stud, there's no reason why you couldn't install the Pack'Em # PK-28WL2-BM ladder rack to the inside wall of your enclosed cargo trailer.
view full answer... - Pack'em Ladder Rack Tower Thickness Differences and Weight CapacityThe Pack'em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BMH towers are made of a heavier steel due to it having limited mounting points to fit on a utility trailer. This is why the steel is heavier to better support the weight of the accessories being carried. This does not allow for any extra weight to be loaded on the brackets. The Pack'em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BM being designed for use on enclosed trailers will allow you to mount the towers at the top and bottom therefore it does not need as much structural...
view full answer... - Comparison of Packem Ladder Racks # PK-28WL2-BMH and # PK-28WL2-BMThe difference between the Pack'em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BMH and # PK-28WL2-BM has to do with the specific tower kit that is included with each set. The Pack'em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BMH includes the Tower Kit # PK-BMH which is made of heavier gauge steel for more heavy-duty applications on an open trailer. They are simply designed to hold more weight. The Pack'em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BM on the other hand includes the Tower Kit # PK-BM which is a lighter-duty set that's more designed...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Ladder Racks That Mount To Side Of TrailerIt sounds like you are looking for the Pack'em Ladder Rack for Exterior Side Wall of Enclosed Trailer # PK-28WL2-BM which mounts the ladders to the exterior side of an enclosed trailer. This rack will support ladders up to 6-1/4' wide weighing up to 75lbs. If you have utility trailers you will need the Pack'em # PK-28WL2-BMH instead. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Best Bang For the Buck Ladder Rack for TrailerThe best ladder rack for you will depend on the type of trailer and where exactly you're wanting to carry the ladders. If you have an enclosed cargo trailer, and you want to carry the ladders on top of the trailer, the Rack 'Em Fitz All, part # RA-28 which has a 400 lb capacity is what I'd recommend. If a 200 lb capacity would work for you, the # PK-28B bracket kit (would require you to provide your own 2x4 lumber for the crossbars) would be a good choice. If you'd like to carry the ladders...
view full answer... - Ladder Racks For Trailers and Trailers with CrossbarsThe Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 has the versatility to fit many of our trailers even though they are not enclosed. The Pack'Em Ladder Rack Bracket Kit for Enclosed Trailers # PK-28B would also work, but the sides are not as sturdy as if there were an enclosed roof frame already in place, so using these systems will have weight limits that aren't accurate for that custom application. I've attached a link to our trailers for you. If you don't specifically need...
view full answer... - Can I Haul an Extension Ladder on the PackEm Ladder Rack for Exterior Side Wall of TrailerYes, as long as the ladder is not wider than 6-1/4 inches it will work for an extension ladder. Keep in mind that the weight capacity is 75 lbs per ladder as well. Most 28 feet and 32 feet extension ladders fall under this weight limit. This ladder rack does come with bungee cords to secure the ladders to the rack, but to help deter theft I recommend using the RockyMounts SteelBraid Cable Lock # RKY3850 with the Master Lock Padlock # ML1KA. The Padlock can be keyed alike if you decide...
