Today on our flattop enclosed trailer we're going to be installing the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack, part number RA-28. Here's what out enclosed trailer looks like with the Rack'em Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack installed on it. On this particular trailer there is two sets of the Rack'em Enclosed Trailer Ladder Racks installed, that's two kits of the part number RA-28. You will notice that this is a flattop style trailer. The racks themselves have been cut down approximately 5" to lower the ladder racks closer to the roof of the trailer. While this is not necessary it will make things a little easier to load things onto your ladder rack because of the height of this trailer. Now that we've shown you what our rack system looks like let's go ahead and show you how to install it. On this particular trailer the customers requested that we put the rear ladder rack as far back as possible, because of it's height it will make getting the ladders up on top a little bit easier.
This screw right here that secures the rain gutter in place is in the way and it doesn't allow our rack to sit flush up against it. We're going to remove this and actually reuse this hole as one of the mounting location holes. It works out this way on both sides of the trailer. Before we mount any of the ladder rack pieces to the trailer we want to come inside and make sure that there's steel right in this area where you'll be screwing the brackets into. Now you'll notice on this trailer our wires run along there as well so you may need to move the wires out of the way on your trailer if they're in the area that you'll be drilling and putting the screws attaching the ladder rack. With the help of an extra set of hands we'll go ahead and set our ladder rack up on top of the trailer. It's a good idea to predrill the hole so that in case if you would hit a weld on the steel structure of the trailer it doesn't ruin the screw.
We're going to line it up with the hole that we just predrilled out. Now that we have our rear ladder rack installed here on our trailer, we've gone ahead and connected our camera to that rear ladder rack section. Now we'll go ahead and build out our next three ladder rack sections that we'll be installing on this trailer. Again, we'll be installing two of the kits so there will be a total of four ladder rack sections. Now we have all of our ladder racks attached to the roof of our trailer. Now you will see here's the screws that come through the steel frame here at the top and that's what is securing the ladder rack to the roof of the trailer.
You'll also notice that we have the wires here that are tucked down below where our screws come through so we didn't damage anything. Each of our locations looks similar to this one here. That will do it for the installation of the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack part number RA-28 on our Flattop Enclosed Trailer. .

Durable and easy to install. I recomend it 703406
Ok gorge thanks I really like the later raks and Thai wear really easy to instal thank yous .I love them 568425
Solid product, easy installation, only downfall to me was that there was no protection in the packaging which made for the aluminum to get all scratched up. Other than that it's a great product, already have my ladder on top of the trailer rather than ratchet straps them to my truck 554646
After installing, I decided to take them back apart and cut about 3 inches off each leg, like the look a lot better closer to trailer roof. Thank you Cathy and Nicole for helping me decide on this ladder rack. Great product. Ron W. 508354
The rack is nice but it only comes with 2 I called back to see if I could order one more so I could have 3 on my trailer but they said I had to buy 2 more that would leave me with one extra run I am very disappointed that you don’t offer 3 I shouldn’t have to pay extra just to have a spare lying around just so I can get your product to work 573614
This is a well designed, well built product. The craftsmanship and welding details on the aluminum structure are excellent. Although our trailer did not have supports anticipated by the rack design, we drilled a center hole in the 4 lower attachments and bolted each to a metal stud. I am confident the rack can be modified to work with virtually any trailer. 199914
Art B - 06/17/2016I received ordered and received (2) sets of the RA-28 Trailer Ladder Rack System for our 16' construction trailer. The installation was a snap and the quality superb. I couldn't have been more pleased with the product and service. Thanks for such a great and affordable product. And thank you Niki for the outstanding service. 190558
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. 586492
Great product,well made,easy to install and very fast delivery 54229
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.

Patrick B - 10/18/2013The 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.
-- Rachael H - 11/18/2014Product is as expected. Good quality. Good packaging. This product "WILL" require a few cuts, for exact fit, so have a good saw capable of cutting aluminum, nice and straight, to have a professional look when you are finished. Also, verify mounting points on both right and left sides to verify locations of screws. Mounting can vary right to left, due to door mounting locations. You will want to mount to areas with frame support (steel structure) for best strength. Also watch out for wiring. Also lights maybe mounted differently from side to side. So verify right and left mounting before you start to drill. I used 1/4-20 hardware because I want to carry bulky items and was concern about wind loads at highway speed. Not sure it was necessary. I think you can be confident to buy this, good quality, product at a reasonable price. 401629
This worked great for my rooftop tent. I could not find what I needed till I saw these. Highly recommend. Easy to install. My utility trailer is small and these worked perfectly. The trailer is 6 x 4. I did not have a cut off saw but Harbor Freight had a cheap one that worked great. I had to modify the rack so the tent could open up. 567806
Very easy install....Very fast delivery...Light Weight...Easy Assembley...Just installed on 6-27-18 and haven't used yet...However, it's a "Recommend" from me...I do have a suggestion for you though...After install I needed about 18 inches of filler tube to hide my joints. I recieved two (2) filler tubes totaling about 84 inches for a 6 x 12 trailer...My point is I'm throwing about 66 inches of aluminum away...That's a big waste....So on a 6 x 12 trailer you only need to send one (1) 20 inch filler piece....Thank you for a (HIGH) quality product w/fast shipping.... 527595
I was surprised. I watched video after video to make sure this was going to be a good fit for me. I waited a couple days to install and once I put the bottoms up I quickly realized that I would have to modify the the mounting holes. I had to drill new holes lower on the foot in order to make sure I hit the top rail. With that said the rest of the install went well and looks good. I will be adding 2 more but with the understanding I will have to re-drill holes lower to fit my trailer. 454864
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 345865
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. 459155
The ladder racks where delivered fast and were easy to install, I was able to install them in less than an hour, pictures to follow soon. Thank you for a Great Product! 131973
Doug M - 05/26/2015This is a very good looking well made rack..BUT IT DOESNT COME WITH INSTRUCTIONS,! So, if you happen to be an engineer like my husband you’re good to go but; the description when ordering also does not indicate how tall the rack is...problem AND e trailer recommended this rack for use with a ROOFTOP TENT on top of a cargo trailer. This rack has uprights because it is a ladder rack so you will have to CUT OFF THE UPRIGHTS. All in all if you don’t have the capacity to BUILD WITHOUT INSTRUCTION( although they are available online) and MODIFY the rack for use with a rooftop tent....it’s a quality product. 2 stars for inefficiency 634392
Mike L - 04/24/2019I installed this to hold my luggage carrier on my motorcycle trailer to move from Virginia to California and I left it on my trailer since then. It works great! 292176
Bob F - 10/26/2017The racks themselves are strong, and we'll designed. The welds are good and they're relatively easy to install. My only complaint s are that the diagonal braces on the uprights had holes punched in the middle of each. The problem with that is water can get in them without anywhere to go. To remedy this, I drilled a small hole at the bottom of each for a drain spot. The other complaint I have is the crossmembers have grinding marks all over the end of them where somebody ground down the welds where the inner and outer crossmembers was adjoined. The metal is rough there like a blind person did it (thinned and wavy). I don't even understand why they had to grind it that much, just to flatten out what was probably tack welds. I'm sure they're not all like that, and they'll still do what I need them to, and it wasn't reason enough for me to send them back, plus I needed them asap because I don't have ladder racks on my truck anymore. I would have given them 5 stars if not for those things. etrailer.com was easy to deal with. They're very professional, and notified me when they shipped, and had them to me when they said they would. I will definitely order more things from them in the future. 683337
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. 411355
Ordering was simple. They shipped it fast! And it was so easy to install that I did it by myself. ( might not be recommended though). I would definitely recommend this product! 153690
Strong and stable. Works great for me. 421683
Great quality. Easy to assemble. 738048
I installed these a year ago. They have held up good on my trailer. We have a gutter business and the ladders are constantly being pulled off and slammed back on. No issues yet and to last this long I don’t foresee any major issues. Very nice product 736199
