Video Transcript for Pack Em Ladder Rack Installation
Today in our trailer we'll be having a look at the Pack'Em Ladder Rack for Exterior Side Wall of Enclosed Trailers, part number PK-28WL2-BM. All right, here's what our ladder rack looks like when we have two ladders installed on it. As you see, we're using step ladders and we alternated them, so we could actually clear both our ladders over our fender properly. Now, the main reason you want a ladder rack like this, is on an enclosed trailer, sometimes you don't have the necessary room inside for your long ladder, especially if you have an extension ladder. This will allow you easy access to your ladder and still have all the room inside your trailer to have your construction equipment and your construction supplies. Now this kit's designed to store up to two ladders on the outside of your trailer. Right now we just have the one installed with the one set of arms. Now, you can adjust how your ladders are stored on the rails at various heights depending on the size of your ladder or the shape.
You can go up higher if you need to, or down lower if you need to. Now for convenience, our ladder rack comes with eight bungee cords in order to secure the ladders to the rack. We have four 12" ones, and four 18" ones. Now, for added security and to help prevent theft of your ladders when installed on the rack, you can use a cable lock with a padlock to secure them on down. We have several of those options available on our website. Now one of the great features about this is our ladder is easily removable.
We just undo our bungee cords. Here our ladder rack is 46-1/2" tall, and will accommodate ladders that are up to 6-1/4" wide. Now our ladder rack is also available as a single kit to hold a single ladder. So basically it'll be like what we have on the trailer already right now. Only difference being, you won't get your second pair of legs to rest your ladder onto. Your bungee cords, instead of having four of the 12" and four of the 18", you'll have two of each. Now that we've gone over some features of our ladder rack, we'll show you how to get it installed on our trailer.
First thing we want to do is find out where the studs are on our trailer wall. If you look down here on the side, we have multiple rows of screws that attach to the side of our trailer. These go straight into the studs on the interior wall. This is where we're going to want to attach our rails. Now we need to find a good location for them to space them properly for our ladder use.
We're going to have our back one here, right behind our fender. For our front one here, we will install it right behind where this vent is. That way our ladders won't interfere with the vent. Now we need to mark where we're going to draw our holes at. We'll just get it right in line, up against the roof line here, and we'll make a mark right here in the middle. We'll do the same for our bottom bolt location. We'll do the same for our front rail. Now we'll draw out a pilot hole where we marked. Okay, we'll go ahead and draw the other pilot holes for the front and the rear rails. With our pilot holes all made, we'll now drill them out using an 11/32 drill bit. Now we'll take our long threaded bolt and one of our flat washers and we'll put it on. We'll take one of our wide washer plates, place it on the bolt, and then we'll raise it in position and go through the hole. Now on the inside of our trailer, we'll place on our smaller plate washer, a round washer, and then our nylon lock nut. We'll do the same here for our bottom. We have an extra set of hands on the outside of the trailer holding the bolt in place with a wrench while we tighten down the nut. We'll do the same on the bottom one now. We'll double check our top one now and make sure its snug. With that done, we'll repeat the same process for the front row. Now we'll take our lateral arm, our reinforcement plate, one of our shorter bolts, slide it in position, run the bolt on through, place another bolt in, and we'll thread on our nylon lock nuts, and then we'll snug our hardware on down. We'll go to the front rail and do the same at the same position. All right, now if you have an excessive amount of bolt sticking through on your inside wall of your trailer here, you can actually cut this off with a grinder, so you can maximize the amount of room inside your trailer for storing stuff against the wall. You don't have to worry about running into it either. I'll repeat the same process for our front rail. That completes our look at the Pack'Em Ladder Rack for Exterior Side Walls of Enclosed Trailers, part number PK-28WL2-BM.

Excellent external ladder rack for my enclosed 16’ Haulmark Kodiak, the kit I purchased had everything needed to install. Directions were easy to follow and the rack is very well built, reinforced where necessary. Now my ladder aee always easy to get to and right were i need them, not taking up space in gagrage or hanging on my fence when I am in the jobsite. Fit a 26’ extension ladder and a 8’ A-frame ladder. 555514

If you have a enclosed trailer and install to the sides you will need to get different length bolt since the provided bolt is too long. They should know most of the trailer walls are 1'' to 1-1/2. 466222

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. 558014

by: Gary Hart05/24/2019
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. 646375

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. 609192

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 !! 596647

- Easy to Use Ladder Rack Options for an Enclosed Trailer
- I 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. As long as your...
view full answer... - Ladder Racks For Trailers and Trailers with Crossbars
- The 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...

- We 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... - Can I Haul an Extension Ladder on the Pack'Em Ladder Rack for Exterior Side Wall of Trailer
- Yes, 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 Shrouded Padlock # 37DAT. The Padlock can be keyed alike if...

This system has a weight capacity of 75-lbs for each pair of hooks. The entire system has a capcity of 150-lbs but the 75-lb limit still exists for each ladder.

- The 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...
