Installation
This sturdy, steel rack mounts securely to the bottom rail of your open utility trailer. Just line up the towers of the base trimmer rack, approximately 3 feet apart, to determine where on your trailer you will need to drill. Then attach the pre-drilled towers with bolts (not included). This rack system is not designed to be welded to your trailer.
Be sure to face the rack toward the outside of the trailer for easy access to your trimmers. This configuration also leaves the bed of your trailer open for lawn mowers or other landscaping equipment.
Trimmer Rack
To use the rack, simply place your trimmers or Weedeaters horizontally in the hooks. The hooks of one of the towers have integrated steel hasps. To secure your trimmers to the rack, just fold the hasps over each trimmer and lock in place with the included padlocks.
Backpack Blower Holder
The backpack blower holder is designed to securely grip your blower at its grab handle. Simply hang your blower from the hook and then fold down the integrated steel arm. Once the arm is properly positioned over the hook, you can lock it in place with one of the included padlocks.
If you have a STIHL 420 backpack blower, you will need to use Pack'Em adapter PA-STIHL420 (sold separately). A different adapter, RA-STIHL, is required if you have a STIHL 350, STIHL 550, STIHL 600, ECHO or RedMax blower.
Cooler Holder
The beverage cooler rack consists of a steel frame that supports the weight of a cooler and two adjustable straps to hold it in place. This rack is designed to hold up to a five-gallon, round cooler or pesticide sprayer.
Trimmer Line Holder
The line holder can hold a three- to five-pound spool of trimmer line. Just slide the spool onto the center rod of the holder and then hook the rod back in place. Now your trimmer line is securely stored and easily accessible for quick, painless unwinding directly from the spool.

I'm happy with my packem rack fast shipping and boxed up very well. Easy to mount on trailer I'm happy with it. Only thing negative I can say is every on the rack should be fabricated with thicker steel to make it stronger but for the price its just right and I feel good now I can. Walk away from my trailer with out worrying. Thank you.

This product is better than slice bread. This has helped me carry my equipment and not worry of anything getting stolen. I have had some of my equipment stolen while I was mowing. The order came in real quick, out of the box it was so simple to install. I would recommend this to anyone.the only thing that I don't care for is the locks,sometimes the key want go all the way in.

The rack fit perfectly onto the trailer but I would recommend getting self-tapping screws so you can bolt it onto the trailer

I have purchased several times from e-trailer, from my car trailer to my landscaping trailer. They have always followed through with easy ordering as well as tracked shipping! Most recently my trimmer rack was shipped promptly! Great company to do business with!!! Btw I have lost At least 4 shipments from online orders with foreign companies I’m attributing to the virus and shutdowns BUT etrailers has come through with their orders as always!
Easy install! Looking forward to ordering tool rack next! (Shovel Rake etc)
Great job guys! Will always do business with you!

I received the PK-6-OP1 weed eater rack for my open trailer within three days after I ordered it. I was shocked on how fast it arrived with the free shipping because most businesses have this option but it takes a week or so. All the contents were in the boxes including directions and they were easy to read. The installation process was easy and I used a couple of extra materials also to install the rack. Overall I was happy with the rack and the ease of installation.

I was very happy with this product. It definitely solves the problem of a weed whacker rolling around in the truck bed. The quality seems like it will last longer than the trailer. The brackets that hold the weed wacker are very well done and keeps the weed wacker nice and tight. I would recommend this to anybody that has to haul there lawn equipment around.

Here are a few photos. We just installed tonight. Easy to install and flexible on where you want to place items. Haven't used yet but looks like a great investment. We moved the blower rack down which required us to drill one more hole so we could lock the blower on. May be a suggestion. I wanted it lower on the trailer to hopefully eliminate some banging around. Carabiners will work well to hold trimmers on rack if you are not needing to lock during the day.

Works well for tools. Locking the tools is what sells it to me. I have set up about 30ntrailers with these units. The straps for water jug dry rot in just a few months so I always replace.with ratchet strap. Perhaps e trailer could replace the cheap.orange straps that weaken and become brittle with something more durable.

Great product ! Good price for all this product offers. I have pipe around the top of my trailer so I had to make some mods on installation. Added a 2 1/2 inch u bolt to secure it. Other than that installation was easy. Would highly recommend this product

I was looking at other ones and I found one at lowes and it was 75 dollars. It was cheap made and only bolted on the top rail this one here bolts down to the bottom and top which is a lot stronger. I had to drill new holes for the trailer and the holder. I really like this rack and I would recommend it

Excellent product at a great price! I would have given 5 stars but the locks that came with mine seem cheap and do not work very well. We plan to use this equiptment commercially. Now I no longer have to worry about a stolen weedeater or blower. As soon as I buy new locks I will be good to go.

Amazing quality product at an amazing price.very well made and strong design.super thick coat of paint/sealer on steel with rugged texture and 2 tone color.and comes with 3 locks...I work at a small engines shop and the design of trimmer rack we sell like this is not as sturdy (L bracket instead of U) and cost 259.99 just for the trimmer rack...needless to say...I highly recommend this kit!!

I would have given it a 5 star but the locks that come with this kit are not very good quality at all and the nuts that go on the bolts come loose over time. They should have provided either lock washers or lock nuts. But other then that it has been a great product!

- Can I Mount the Pack'Em Rack for Open Utility Trailers on the Round Bars on My Karavan Trailer?Hello Dean, Great question, and thank you for including the picture as well! Yes, you will be able to mount it to the round bars. The Pack'Em Rack for Open Utility Trailers - Holds 3 Trimmers, 1 Blower, 1 Line Spool, 1 Cooler # PK-6-OP1 does not come with the installation hardware, since you are going to be using them on round bars you will want to install them with U-bolts (which you can find at your local hardware store). I attached an image that a customer shared with us and pointed...
view full answer... - Is Pack'Em Cooler Rack Available SeparatelyHey Doug! The Pack'Em cooler rack is only available with the # PK-6-OP1 and # PK-OP1. However, they do offer the Rack'Em Beverage Cooler Rack for Enclosed or Open Trailers # RA-18 which is practically the same thing. The price can be found on the product page. If you need anything else let me know in the comments below.

You will either have to run bolts through your tube or run U-Bolts around your top tube. For a Trimmer Rack, I recommend the Pack'Em Rack # PK-6-OP1. This holds 3 trimmers, 1 blower, 1 line spool, and one cooler. It is a very nice system with a gray powder coat finish. This does not come with mounting hardware, but does come with keyed alike locks. If you are looking for a more...
view full answer... - Parts Needed For Towing a Utility Trailer With a 2024 Kia Seltos For a Zero Turn MowerI would be happy to help you Floyd. First I recommend the Draw-Tite Receiver # DT65GR for your 2024 Kia Seltos. This is our only 2" receiver which allows you to use a larger selection of ball mounts. The Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534 is a great place to start if you do not already have any ball mounts. Next you are going to need the Wiring Harness # C89KR so that you can connect the 4-way flat connector from the utility trailer to your Kia. This will operate the lights on the trailer....
view full answer... - Will Pack'Em Rack for Open Utility Trailers Fit 2' high Sides on TrailerYes, the Pack'Em Rack for Open Utility Trailers # PK-6-OP1 is compatible with your 2' high trailer sides. The supports don't necessarily have to rest on the floor of your trailer so you can raise them to whatever height is needed for your application. Attached is a picture of how a customer installed just the Trimmer Rack # PK-6 on their utility trailer.

- Will a 31.9 Inch Wide Lawn Mower Fit Pro Series Cargo Carrier with Ramp PS10401-10402The usable dimensions of the tray part of cargo carrier # PS10401-10402 are 47-3/4 inches long by 31-3/4 inches wide by 2-3/4 inches deep. Since the mower width is 31.9 inches it would be just a little too wide to fit on this carrier. But this carrier is still the best option since none of the others are as wide. The mower would have to sit and a slight angle to fit. Adding any sort of trimmer or blower rack to he carrier would require modification and/or drilling into the carrier which...

- Installing the Pack'Em Rack for Open Utility Trailers on a Trailer with 24 inch Tall Side RailsI spoke to my contact at Pack' Em and he informed me that your best option would be to install the Pack'Em Rack for Open Utility Trailers # PK-6-OP1 on your trailer but to install it about 12 inches from the floor of your trailer. Installing it in this manner would not interfere with the conduit either. You would need to install each upright post of the # PK-6-OP1 on the vertical posts that attach the top railing of your trailer to the trailer frame. The only issue you might run into is...

- How to Install the Pack'Em Rack Part # PK-6-OP1 on a Utility Trailer with Wooden Side WallsIn order to install the Pack'Em Rack for Open Utility Trailers part # PK-6-OP1 on your utility trailer, I recommend attaching the uprights to the wooden sidewalls of the trailer or trimming the wooden side walls to allow the uprights to sit flush on the frame. I have attached a customer submitted photo of this for you to give you a better idea. The rear liftgate that you are referring to would not be a suitable place to mount this rack.

And you will have no problem mounting this to your 7x14 landscape trailer with the 12" sides.

That said, there is more that goes into this rating than the axle capacity and wheel/tire capacity so these cannot really be used to determine load carrying capacity.

He stated that an additional # PK-6S2 will physically bolt to your existing units, but he does not recommend doing this in order to hold 3 trimmers. The reason for this is simply because of the lack of stability the system will provide when adding the additional components. They do offer a complete 3-trimmer system with part # PK-6-OP1.

I'm not saying that you couldn't hang a ladder from it, but my concern is that the shape and size of the hooks may not accommodate some ladders or it may not hold the ladder at tightly or securely as it should. I suppose a lot of that depends on what kind of ladder you have, but we really cannot recommend using this to hold a ladder. A much better option is the Pack'Em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BMH which is designed to...
