Choosing a Ladder Rack

If you are a commercial trades professional, you probably know how important the right ladder rack for your commercial truck or van is. Ladder racks increase safety, productivity, and protect your equipment investment. But ladder rack pricing is all over the board. That’s why it’s important to know exactly what you need in a ladder rack. There are many different factors to consider, particularly frequency of use, cargo type, number of ladders, van height, and accessibility when selecting the best ladder racks and options for your needs. Here’s a basic breakdown of the pros and cons of the three main styles of ladder racks available:
