Really Easy to install. I installed these on a 5x10 Cargo Trailer. They were 4" too wide for my trailer, but were very easy to cut to make fit.

are the bars that the ladder lay on adjustable? I have a 5 x 10 enclosed trailer will it fit correctly? Thanks

The cross bars are a telescoping design, so they can fit trailers as narrow as 4 feet and as wide as 8.5 feet. You can set them up at whatever length you need to accomodate the load, so long as you can still properly attach the feet.

my trailer is 16 similar to yours.I am a roofing contractor and use large 32 extension ladders and 20-24 walk boards. Would you recommend me putting 2 sets on, or do you think one set would be enough for all the equipment I intend to carry? Your input would be appreciated.Thanks

It seems if you extend it out to 85 it would make the rack less sturdy. My trailer is 85 wide. What are your thoughts

The crossbars on this ladder rack are designed to be adjustable from 4 feet to 8-1/2 feet, and will support 400 pounds. As long as you can securely attach this ladder rack to your trailer, and the width of your trailer falls within the adjustable range of the crossbars it will work. When extended closer to 8-1/2 feet you may see more flex and movement in the crossbars, but it is rated to support up to the full 400 pounds.


by:

Product Review: I love the light weight aluminum and design. I changed the self tappers that came with it for longer bolts, washers and lock nuts just for my own peace of mind. Looking forward to using it with my next job.



by:

Used two sets of these for solar panels on my inclosed trailer. Work great and are holding up fine after a year of use!



by:

Nice aluminum. Works well just to strap something down. Racks are square and edges are sharp. Can’t slide ladders on and off.



by:

Purchased for kayaks on top of a trailer. Installed by a garage for expediency. By all accounts it’s an easy install if done personally. Two self tapping screws that tap into the top trailer frame. Two screws per bracket and the brackets sit on the rain gutter. The only complaint I have is they are tall. We had them cut down,but with being cut down, without modifications, they are still about 6-8” off the roof of the trailer. The height makes it harder to place the kayaks and inadvertently less aerodynamic.



by:

I am very happy with the racks! They were very easy to install (one person less than 30 minutes). We live and work close to the ocean and after one year they show no signs of rust or wear I need to order one more as I have found myself over loading just the two.

As a building contractor, I highly recommend this product and e-trailer! Even the delivery came the day it was scheduled.

Thanks e-trailer



by:

It was installed very easily. We use it as a kayak/canoe rack on our camping trailer, and it has served its purpose very well.



by:

etrailer.com was very user-friendly and their staff was very professional in helping with shipping our new ladder racks for our work trucks. The Ladder Rack - Rackem Fitz-all kit we purchased is very durable and has a carrying capacity of 400 lbs.















by:

The included hardware did have some issues going into the steel structure of the trailer. So did my drill bits. Was able to purchase hardware locally for the ones that snapped. The rack has been great. Supports my solar array fine and doesn't move.



by:

Great product, easy to install, anxious to put to use. Thanks to George and the etrailer family !!!

One year later and they are still awesome, etrailer has the best products !!!



by:

These ladder racks were excellent, as expected. Very easy to install, even for someone like myself who had never installed a set before. They're very sturdy and we have no issue with loading multiple ladders on them. On top of that, the customer service when I called in to place the order was excellent. They took my order quickly and shipped out the same day, plus emailed me a tracking number. I would definitely buy these racks again.



by:

I used the rack to mount solar panels to my travel trailer. I shortened the legs so that the panels are closer to the roof. It works great for my application.



by:

I just ordered this week, received quickly, and installed my aluminum ladder/kayak on my cargo/kayak fishing trailer. Very happy with it. I cut it down 3 inches to make strapping it down possible by standing in/on the trailer. Looks so good I have to wash that trailer. I plan to add racks to the inside to hold my fishing poles and, install a vent with fan, and maybe hang a hammock. Wrapped plumbing pipe foam insulation wrap on the crossbars to cushion the yak.
Installation instructions were spot on.
I recommend this rack to anyone. I think the price was reasonable and weld quality is superb.



by:

Product arrived earlier than expected and was easier to install that I would have believed. It took me less than an hour to completely install racks on my trailer! I have used these repeatedly in the short time that I have had them installed. A tremendous investment, and an excellent product.



by:

I purchased these on Tuesday evening and received them Thursday afternoon. Working by myself An hour and a half later I had them installed. Super easy to install. I put each section together first and extended them to the approximate measurement. I took two 5 gallon buckets and flipped them upside down on top of my trailer then set the rack across them. I installed screws on one side then making sure it was straight installed screws on opposite side. Repeating the same steps on other rack .



by:

Very easy installation on 10x6 flat top enclosed trailer. The only modification was having to cut about 4.5" off of each cross member bracket to get rid of all the excess height. Plan on using for kayaks, canoes, and anything else that may be to long to stuff into this little dry shack.

  • Can Rackem Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 Adjust for Height
    The Rackem Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 does adjust horizontally to allow it to fit trailer roofs from 4-feet to 8-1/2-feet wide but its height is fixed based on the position of the roof rain gutters, which are required in order to install this rack kit. It offers a 400-lb load capacity.

  • Taller Roof Rack Solution for Top of Tear Trailer
    The best option we have for a roof rack that would have crossbars 10-12 inches above the roof of the trailer would be with the Rack Em Trailer Ladder Rack part # RA-28 which was designed for enclosed trailers but has the taller towers/feet. There might be some modification required.

    There are a couple options to add a rack system to your trailer, depending on what type of trailer you have.

You will need the Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - Rivet Mount - 50" Long # RRRTV128, Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks # RRRLT600 and crossbars,...

  • Controllers to Use on RV Solar Panel Setup with 6 55-Watt Panels
    I attached a help article that covers installing solar panels on an RV but it seems like you are on the wiring of the panels to your RV step so for that you'd need a controller like the # FSCC30PWBBL which can handle three of your panels so you'd need two of them.

  • Can Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack Carry Two Kayaks
    The Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 can absolutely be used to carry a pair of kayaks as the rack has bars which are 2-1/6" tall x 1" wide so you can use a saddle-style kayak carrier. The best carrier depends on the weight of your kayaks; if they are heavier kayaks you can use the Malone MegaWing # MPG207 which has a weight capacity of 150 lbs. If you do not need that much capacity then the better option is the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier # MPG107MD which has a 75...

  • Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack For a 2024 Cargo Mate Trailer Without Rain Gutters

I have also included our review video below where you can see we have it installed on a trailer with just the top trim and not actual gutters.

  • Height and Thickness of Rack 'Em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack Crossbars

The rack has a 400 lb capacity and is width-adjustable for trailers between 4 and 8-12 feet wide. The Thule Hull-A-Port Pro, part # TH834 or the SportRack Kayak Carrier # SR5511 will fit crossbars up to about 2 inches tall, so either would be compatible.

  • Is the Rackem Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 Rack Compatible With Rooftop Tent
    I have a solution for you, but because of the design of the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 crossbars, I really don't think that there is a roof mounted tent that will be compatible with the rectangular design. Traditional roof racks are either round, square, aero, or elliptical design. Another thing to note is that the Fitz-All Ladder Rack requires that your trailer have rain gutters to properly install it, and is meant to be install on enclosed trailers. To ensure...

  • How Much Can Be Cut to Lower Height of Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack
    The Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 that you referenced can indeed be cut down a bit to bring the crossbars closer to the roof of the trailer. When we installed the system we cut down the support by about 5 inches and this is pretty much the maximum you will be able to trim down without affecting its integrity. Before any cutting the top of the crossbar measures 17 inches from the bottom of the mounting bracket. I have attached a short installation video that you...

  • Ladder Rack System for my Enclosed Trailer
    The Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack part # RA-28 is currently our best and only option for enclosed trailers. Basically you want this system because the rack attaches to the side of the trailer rather than putting all of the weight down on the typically weak thin roof material.

  • Solution For Carrying Two Kayaks In An Enclosed Trailer
    The best way to secure your two kayaks to the interior wall of your enclosed trailer is by using J-style wall mounts like the Malone J-Dock Storage System 2 Boats # MPG317. This uses J-hooks that get bolted into the wall of your trailer and allow a kayak to be mounted onto it, then the included harness hangs down to allow for a second kayak to be mounted. Another solution is to install a roof rack on top of your trailer, this way you will not be taking a lot of room inside the trailer....

  • Roof Rack for Enclosed Trailer Without Rain Gutters
    It looks like you have the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 installed on your enclosed trailer's existing rain gutter rails. For a different trailer that does not have these mounting rails I recommend using a track type rack system such as the Yakima HardTop SL # Y01618 since we do not have adapters to allow installing the Rack'em to a flat roof surface. This adjustable Yakima rack uses tracks that mount to the trailer roof (not to the side edge like the Rack'em) and...
