Hello Dean,

Great question, and thank you for including the picture as well! Yes, you will be able to mount it to the round bars. The Pack'Em Rack for Open Utility Trailers - Holds 3 Trimmers, 1 Blower, 1 Line Spool, 1 Cooler # PK-6-OP1 does not come with the installation hardware, since you are going to be using them on round bars you will want to install them with U-bolts (which you can find at your local hardware store). I attached an image that a customer shared with us and pointed out the U-bolts for reference.

Let me know how the install goes.

Hey Dean, how did the mount work out on your Karavan trailer’s round bars using the U-bolts? Your update could make it easier for the next person setting up the same rack.

@KateF Did they happen to mention how sturdy it was?

@Jordan I’m sorry Jordan, but Dean has yet to respond. I was able to find some other reviews on the Pack’Em Rack # PK-6-OP1, and overall feedback on its sturdiness is very positive. Michael described the rack as “very strong” and was impressed with how solid it felt once mounted, while David mentioned that it keeps all of his equipment secure and stable during transport without any shifting. Another reviewer, Chris, noted that the rack is “well-built” and holds up great under regular use, highlighting the durable steel construction. Overall, customers consistently mention that the rack feels sturdy, mounts securely to the trailer, and does a great job keeping landscaping equipment organized and in place.

@KateF I’ve purchased one, and am going to attempt to install it in my round trailer as well. Curious if you have any videos you recommend
