Question:
Hi, I own a basic 5 x 8 utility flatbed trailer and I would like to put a rack on top for ladders, etc. What do you recommend? Thanks.

I recommend looking at the Malone TopTier Load Bar Kit for Utility Trailers # MPG493. This is designed to fit utility trailers with a raised side bar rail. If your utility trailer has flat bed without the raised rails you may be able to attach it directly to your frame depending on how the trailer was constructed. This kit includes uprights which are 53" tall. Please let me know if this is not an option for your trailer and send me some images of your trailer so I can help you find the best option.
