Ladder Rack Recommendation for Enclosed Cargo Trailer with at Least 320 lb Capacity

Published 03/07/2018

Question:

I am looking for a product that will enable me to put upto 320 lbs dynamically driving down the road on top of an enclosed trailer. When not driving I need it to hold 1000 lbs. This is a roof top tent. So it is folded up when driving down the road and total weight is 320 lbs. When sitting still the tent unfolds and sleeps 4 adults. Do you have any recommendations for a ladder rack on top of a 5x8 enclosed trailer? Even if I need to buy two sets of ladder racks and have 4 bars I would consider this

The Rack-Em Enclosed Trailer Ladder rack part # RA-28 has a 400 lb capacity when used for traveling down the road. We don't have a static capacity for when not moving, but if you ran two of these on your trailer you'd have enough ladder rack capacity. As far as the roof of your trailer though you'd need to contact the manufacturer.
