Helmet Rack for Enclosed Trailers by Rack'Em Manufacturing
Enclosed Trailer equipment racks feature a hook design at the top of the rack that allows them to hang from the metal frame runner at the top of the side walls on the trailer for added strength. They are predrilled so that they may be screwed securely to the wall. The unique and durable "Hammered" paint finish will last for many years.

Today we're going to be taking a look at as well as doing a quick installation of the Rack'em motorcycle helmet rack for enclosed trailers, part number RA-22. Let's go ahead and go over the different portions our different sections of the rack. This top section as well as this part right here is what holds the helmet in place. The helmet sits over and this here is a chin strap loop which helps keep the helmet on the rack. We have a hook down here. We can put a coat or a jacket or even a jersey hang from the bottom. As well as this little area here can be used to put your riding gloves if you want. Let's go ahead and show you how the helmet goes into place.
This is designed for a closed or an open faced helmet. Today we're going to be using a motocross style helmet. Go ahead and slide that down. Your chin strap will then go around the spring loaded chin strap hook. Go back up and hook the chin strap as though you we're securing the helmet to your head.
That helps keep the helmet in place as you're going down down the road. It has a hook here built in on top. There is a hole right here that we can add a screw to secure it to the wall of the enclosed trailer. Now, ordinarily we would be able to hook this over the top of our trailer, but this particular trailer, the way it's built, it doesn't allow you to do that. We've gone ahead and added a 2 by 6 board with an angle cut on the back side, just using a simple table saw that matches the contour of the hook portion of the rack. We've also added small block of 2 by 4 to give us a little bit of support when we put our rack onto the wall.
We'll go ahead and set our rack in place. As you can see, it's got nice support there. We'll just need to add a wood screw right there to help secure it to the wall. The wood screw is something you will need to provide. It does not come with the helmet rack. With that, that will do it for our quick look as well as installation of the Rack'em motorcycle helmet rack for enclosed trailers, part number RA-22. .

The Rackem organizers are made for the trailer but have worked well in our home for organizing motorcycle gear in the mudroom (helmets are stored safely) and in our grandsons bedrooms for their fencing gear. It allows helmets to dry after energetic competitions, and has space for the gloves and other items. We made a separate wood support for the fencing blades. Oak boards were stained and attached to the walls to support the Rackem organizers, adding a good look to the in-house use.
S W - 08/23/2018Product does a nice job of holding the helmet and other articles after riding. I selected this hanger because I wanted something that I could allow helmets and other gear to dry out, whether sweat, mud, rain or any combination of the lot. The basic set-up shown in the post ride picture has made a number of 6+ hour trips without any issue of the helmet or other gear coming off the rack. Once I figured out the proper angle for the bracket and determined the proper height to allow the helmet to mount without smacking the trailer ceiling, mounting was relatively simple. I did have to add the screw holes to the upright in order to anchor it the wall/support even though the graphic shows one hole present.
After a year of use, I have no real complaints with the rack. It does what I hoped it would when I purchased it.
Functional additions (2) to our hybrid snowmobile trailer for keeping all of our gear out of the truck cab. Back the sleds out & the trailer becomes the dressing room.
Great product, excellent quality. Great solution to keeping expensive helmets safe during transport. Timely transaction.
