Question:

Hello there my question is regarding the number of ladder racks I should install on a 6x12 stealth super lite all aluminum cargo trailer. I am a contracter and will be using the racks for ladders but dont want to limit just for that maybe at some point I would be loading canoes, material. I understand I have to keep the weight in check but more looking to ask the number I should install. Front and back or Front,middle and back. Also if you could include a rack that you would recommend : Thank you in advance for your help

I called my contact at RackEm and asked about the Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack, part # RA-28 and your all aluminum trailer.

They told me that two sets would be ideal for your trailer since it is 12-ft long and the load capacity would be increased but how much more it can carry depends on the trailer construction. Many trailers have aluminum shells but have steel beams on the inside. They told me that per the instructions if you are installing this through aluminum only it is recommended to reinforce the inside structure where the # RA-28 hardware mounts.

We also offer the load stops, part # RA-28-S for the ladder rack you can check out.
