Does anyone know of a commercial ladder rack that will work with an M1101? I am looking at a fixed mount TracRac truck bed ladder rack with 800 lbs weight capacity, but I am not home to measure my trailer. I prefer the rack to be adjustable (width-wise), and to clamp onto the rails so that I can adjust where the distance between the front and rear rack. I am in need of a temporary solution to mount my RTT, so I don't have to spend time fabricating a rack. I am strapped for time, and want to get the family outdoors.
Commercial Ladder Rack for M1101
- Thread starter TXBK
- Start date
I am going to build a rack, but I don't want to be rushed when I do it. That is why I am looking for a quick, temporary solution. After a little more thought, I may go ahead and purchase a TracRac that fits my truck and use the uprights of the rack on the trailer and fabricate some crossbars to make it work.
What about these ? How wide is your trailer ? 86" is the widest bars they sell, but reg pipe that size dia would also work, if you need wider than 86".

I'm not sure what the exact measurement is on my trailer, I think that the capacity of that Yakima rack is probably too light for my application.
This is the rack that I am looking at. It has a 1000 lb. capactiy, and I think that I can cut and attach a steel crossbar to fit fairly easily and quickly. Clamping the rack to the trailer rails is really the only challenge, but I think it can be accomplished.

Do you have any more pictures of how this attaches? It looks like you used the sling tie downs. Also did you have that cover made? The others that I have seen are taller.
Height is adjustable from 22-29 plus cargo height so I am sure height is more than 39

Just put it on today Vantec p3000 in 82 inches
Awesome! Was researching this for a few days and could never figure out which ones might work. The Yakima 84 inch bars are reinforced and much stronger than the shorter bars. I want to mount a roof top tent on the bars. Tent weighs approx. 150lbs, I'm around 190, wife around 120, a kid or two may jump in so we should be under the 1000lbs. I may also get 3 bars for increased peace of mind.
I'm debating between this setup or have someone make a custom built rack similar to this:

ghost0623,
Any more photos of the mounting locations especially the rear? Also do you have any pics with risers at lowest and highest settings from the ground?
Thinking about this exact same setup and wonder how you like it.
Cheers!

I have this same rack, minus the 45 degree flat angle under the load bar. I had to remove the vertical section in picture # 2 above so that I could get it to sit flat on my temporary expo trailer. Holds my RTT and two adults at 250lbs just fine.
