Fitz-All ladder racks do exactly that, they fit most trailer brands 4' to 8-1/2' wide with the telescoping design. Quick, easy assembly in about 5 minutes.

great
Good universal design and well made.
parts didnt go together like they should have
product was recieved fast and in good condition
They have a good range of products to choose from. great people to deal with. Delivery time is very reasonable.
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.
Two thumbs up for the product and service. Installed smoothly on a 5x8 Intersate trailer. It is going to work great for hauling my canoe.
Great product!! Very lightweight and easy to install by yourself. I installed in about 45 minutes on my hallmark enclosed trailer. Product construction is superior and built to last.
The product is great. I am now ready to start hauling my equipment thank you the racks look great
Great product,well made,easy to install and very fast delivery

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

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.
The racks were fairly easy to install, but the rack materials were not as good quality as I expected for the price... all the aluminum pieces were scuffed, nicked and blemished, and I had to pre-drill a lot of the holes into my trailer upper frame to get the self-tapping screws to work. They are on my trailer and they do what I needed them to, but they just don't look as good as I expected.
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.
Easy install and great quality. All stainless fasteners too.
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.
Used two sets of these for solar panels on my inclosed trailer. Work great and are holding up fine after a year of use!
I 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!

I still have the rack on my trailer, but I cant use my trailer anymore because I converted my motorcycle into a trike and it wont fit in my trailer so Im going to sell it with the rack.
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.
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.
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.
The 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.
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.
Installed on utility trailer to carry additional kayak(s). Install straight forward, easy install.
Why pay more for “specialty” rack with lower load rating- just need something to finish off (make scratch resistant) the top ends of the vertical posts.
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 !!!
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.

I used a homemade version of this 30 years ago when connecting a boat [way before backup cameras ;) ] and it makes lining up the GenY to my GooseBall very easy.

That is awesome, did your homemade invention include tennis balls!? It sounds like you are quite the DIYER!
Love this QUALITY product! I have purchased a similar product from Harbor Freight, which was OK, but not near the same quality & did not have the NEAT NIGHTTIME light up tips, which is VERY handy. WELL WORTH the higher cost.
This is a very practical item that works great. My only problem was that, while trying to figure out how to turn on the LED attachment, one of them fell apart and scattered tiny bits all over my shop floor. I was lucky to have found all the parts and get it back together and working fine now. These need to be handled with care because, even though they're a great idea, they are flimsy.
I have not gotten the chance to use it yet but it came in perfect condition. Thank you for fast shipping, videos of your products, and excellent customer service! I love this place for all my trailering needs!
Helpful. Especially since my truck’s back up camera functions sporadically.
It’s exactly what I was looking for. These guides make hitching up trailers a one person job.
I used yellow balls to assist with backing to the trailer. Was very helpful. If you have a hard time backing to the trailer, I would recommend this product.

They work great.
The aligner was delivered very fast. This system/tool at under $20.00 is an excellent choice over a camera system at $150-200. This is especially the case if you, like me, do not pull a trailer much. It takes some skill development to get the alignment right, but not much. I got close enough on my first try. Much better than backing blind!
One of the blinking LED lights did not light. I disassembled it and found the small, delicate wire contact was not aligned proper in the socket. Misaligned aligner? Fixed it and it works fine now. I do not expect to be hooking up at night, but as an early morning aid, the LED option is a good idea.
I was concerned that this aligner would not work for me because I use a 180 degree aluminum hitch ball assembly on my GMC pickup with which I move the trailer around occasionally. I tow on the road with a 3/4T Suburban with an all steel, weight balancing hitch ball assembly. The aligner is magnetic and will not attach to aluminum.
However, the edge of the hitch pocket sticks out beyond the bumper just enough to provide a steel surface directly behind the ball. (See photo).
I recommend the aligner to the frugal, occasionally tower. More frequent towing? I would go to a quality wireless camera set up.
Very easy to use! One truck has back up camera on it but the other two doesn’t. My flatbed with fuel tank on it is where I use this the most, for either the gooseneck trailer or a bumper pull trailer, it works really great!
Just didn't help .. the magnetic base had a tough time finding a decent flat spot on the trailer tongue, and the yellow alignment balls were barely visible through the back window once the vehicle was loaded. Good concept and inexpensive .. just didn't work for me
Extremely easy to use and works fantastic. Would recommend this to anyone that's trying to hook up a trailer without a camera.
I have not used them yet but looks like it will work very well .
The person that thought of this is a Genius. Takes all the work out of hooking up to a trailer alone. I highly recommend buying this product.
Great quality for the price.

no problems, but have rarely needed to use it
Well let’s start off with this worked great. The led lights were a nice add-on and I even used them once for one night hookup. That being said, I’d forgotten I had them. Because using them for awhile, I got the feel of hooking up my trailer and now it’s very routine. I know where my alignment points are and it because I used the hitch alignment balls to develop the skills to do it without help. OK once in awhile everyone has a bad day, tge stars don’t align and Gods screwing with you and you can’t get that trailer lined up to save your life ( and usually it’s raining or snowing or it’s like 180 degrees outside). But mostly it’s a great investment. Oh piece of advice; with the trailer hooked up decide where the markers are easily seen and line up from the drivers seat. Not straight on. Slightly angled toward driver.

To be honest don’t use it all that often. Like I said in original review. It’s a great learning tool. And I still start using it when I have to hook up a new trailer. Basically it gives you muscle memory. And you learn where your pivot points are. I’ve even used it on my plow. To line up my hitch points. This is a very good item to keep around. And if you are having a crap day and can’t line it up. Break out the lineup balls. Or lights at night I keep it in my Jeep so I always know where it is. Plus that’s my plow vehicle snd the plow lineup in the cold is a bear. Remember to line this up to drivers position not dead center. Once I was hooked up I marked the position for the next time I need it. So my review is this is a great tool, and you should keep it handy. And this reminded me to check the batteries in the lights just in case
After using the tow hitch aligner for a year, I have
To say it is a wonderful device.
I now can hitch my 14 foot in one attempt, every time, with no assistance.
No more jumping out of my truck to see where the
Ball is.
The only caveat is that you must learn how to
Properly align and view the alignment in your
Mirror(s).
The magnets to attach one ball to the hitch and
The other to the tow vehicle is terrific. Also the
Fact that the balls are attached to a telescoping
Wand make it easy to align the balls doing set up.
I just love my hitch alignment tool; it works great.

It is great!!
This tool is something I had thought about making myself and so when I found it , it was one less task. I have not used the lighted function yet but overall it works great and the first time I could get trailer to hitch within a 1/2"! I nicknamed this device " the Marriage Saver" because it prevents those arguments where interpretations of hand signals and terms like "more" are not in scale or measurable to help make small adjustments for the unfortunate person "helping you back up"! This tool has proved durable, repeatable and we'll worth the money as a proven Time saver! Great stocking
stuffer!

Great, be sure to pack balls in a protected container or spot!
This is one of the Great Inventions of the 21st Century, in my opinion. SO Simple. SO Easy. Why didn't someone invent this a century earlier???There's a slight difficulty for me because one of my trailer hitches has a round top, so the 'mast' tends to tilt. Anyone should be able to either File a flat spot or whack a dent that'll support the magnet. During the day it's not a problem--I can see the direction of the mast. At night, it's more of a challenge. Still, I hope someone got an award for inventing this (the REAL Inventor, not his supervisor :-[ )

I genuinely write home about this, telling relatives about something theyve got to get.
These are a great time saver when hitching up to our popup camper. Better than using a second person with hand signals, and no need for a backup camera. I can get within an inch of the hitch on the first try, and without having to get in and out of the tow vehicle several times to check the distance. They collapse down to a small size and store in my storage box on the camper. The LED attachments work well, too.

Still working perfectly a real time saver.

could not be better, no more problems with backing up
SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD, WORKS GOOD. NEVER USED THE LIGHTS
This aligner works well as long as the trailer and tow vehicle are on parallel surfaces, side to side. This may seem obvious, but I didn't realize it until I tried it at home where the approach to my trailer is at a slight angle relative to the trailer parking position. So it doesn't work well there. At most campsites, this is not the case, so it works very well at them.

When I can back up in line with the trailer, it works very well and saves getting in and out of the tow vehicle multiple times. I havent had occasion to use the lights, so I cant comment on them.
These have been a quick and easy way to line up the trailer and hitch when backing up. We have a truck bed toolbox that is to tall to see the hitch and these make it an easy operation to get lined up.

These were great for the learning curve, but I no longer use them as I have developed better skills in hooking up.
Super easy to install. Great value for a good quality product. Thanx for the fast shipping too.
I have not been able to use them yet as I just received them, but looking at them they seem to be able to make connections g to my trailer easier. A problem I have is one of the red lights does not work for some and the other, the threads are striped so the lights don't work

It works great. It is much easier to line up the hitch with the trailer, especially when there is a reverse camera in the vehicle
