Can Pack'Em Ladder Rack # PK-28WL2-BMH be Used to Transport Lumber or Other Materials

Updated 05/03/2017 | Published 05/02/2017

Question:

Would this rack be able to haul multiple 2 x 4 x 16 ft boards, or 20 ft sticks of rebar? Im a concrete contractor and would like to be able to haul materials on the side of my deck trailer instead of on the actual deck. Any help would be great.

The Pack'Em Ladder Rack for Side Rail of Open Air Trailer # PK-28WL2-BMH is designed to haul ladders but can also be used for similarly shaped items such as lumber or the sticks of rebar referenced in your question. The maximum ladder (or similar object) width that the rack can secure is 6-1/4 inches. The length will depend on how far apart from each other you are able to install the ladder hooks on your trailer. You will need to find a wall stud on the trailer wall for attachment of each of the hooks.

This rack does includes 8 bungee cords to secure the cargo to the rack but you may need additional mounting hardware for your specific application.

I have attached a short demonstration video on this product for you to check out.
