Can I Install A Ladder Rack On Roof Of A 2019 Haulmark Enclosed Trailer? Roof Rail Is Curved

Question:

Can the PF79VR be installed on my 2019 Haulmark if the top rail is slightly curved? The mounting bracket looks flat in the pictures.

Justin, the P&F Ladder Rack for enclosed trailers # PF79VR mounts to your trailer’s top side rail, not the curved roof skin, and the rail on Haulmark trailers is straight even when the roof itself has a curve. The rack’s 6inch × 2inch flat mounting pad gives you plenty of contact area, and you’ll drill your holes exactly where the trailer’s header is located.

Just make sure your screws or bolts hit solid structure and not just the aluminum skin - that’s the key with any enclosed-trailer rack. If you can't access the inside to put washer/backing plate and nuts on, then just use heavy duty self tapping screws from the outside.

If you want to send a picture of your rail, I can point out exactly where that header usually runs on Haulmarks.
