Easy to Use Ladder Rack Options for an Enclosed Trailer

Question

Question:

Im looking to install a ladder rack on an enclosed trailer that can tilt or down so there is no need to climb on top of the trailer to secure it. Do you have anything like that?

I do have an easy way that will allow you to carry multiple ladders on your enclosed trailer, however, none of them mount to the roof and tilt down for loading/securing.

I recommend using the Pack'Em Ladder Rack part # PK-28WL2-BM as this will be your best option. The Pack'Em ladder racks attach to the exterior walls of your enclosed trailer and will allow you to carry up to 2 ladders on each side of the trailer without having to climb up on the roof to secure them. As long as your ladders are not more than 75 lbs. each and are not more than 6-1/4" wide, than this option will work well for you. We also have this ladder rack available in a single hook design using part # PK-28WL-BM. I am not currently aware of a ladder rack made that matches your exact description.

If you do not have room on the exterior walls of your trailer then the only other option we have is the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack part # RA-28 which mount to the roof of your trailer and does not tilt down.

I have attached a photo of what your setup could look like while using the wall mount ladder rack in addition to a review and installation video for you.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…
