Ladder Racks | 4WD Accessories Direct

 

A ladder rack is a flat open framework, mounted on top of a vehicle, usually a pickup truck. This rack can be used to carry various items, including ladders, long pipes, boards and tools. A ladder rack offers a hold, to accommodate bulky items, so that the bed of a pickup truck is left available to hold smaller or heavier articles. There are a number of ladder racks available in the market, perfectly suited to specific needs and requirements.

It is essential to select the proper ladder rack. It should provide sufficient head space for the bed, without increasing the total height of the vehicle too much. A building contractor or a professional painter, who needs to carry several different articles on the ladder rack, should choose a ladder rack that fills the truck bed. These types of ladder racks has four upright supports, which allows plenty of room for storage underneath as well as above the whole bed of the truck. A person who needs to carry only one ladder at a time needs a rack mounted on one side of the truck. These racks are smaller in size with one or two supports.

It is important to consider the number of clamps on the ladder rack. A ladder rack with a large number of clamps is a good choice when many different items are to be carried. Ladder racks are also differentiated on the basis of their height and length. Some ladder racks can be placed anywhere on the truck bed. Some racks offer the option of different mounting devices that hold the mount on the truck. Some ladder racks are permanent installations, while others have removable mounting devices. The ladder racks are handy equipment, enabling the transportation of many articles and offering optimum use of the vehicle.

Top 5 benefits of investing in Custom UTE trays

 

 

These days the popularity of utes is thriving all over the globe. There are lots of models and options available for farmers, miners, campers and individuals performing heavy-duty tasks over rough ground or needing to carry various loads.

In Australia, a big part of the ute demographic is the tradiesute. Tradies love their utes. Their ute is their workhorse but it is also their pride and joy. Of course, a good ute needs to have all the functionality required to get the job done. It needs to be strong, durable, tough, and reliable. The ute tray needs to be able to carry all the tools of the trade. Often the tradiesute will have a ute canopy as an extra layer of security and to keep everything safe and dry.

A typical tradieute will also have a big ute tool box across the back of the ute tray - usually with a lock to keep the tools safe. Other accessories such as bullbars and ladder racks add to the functionality of the tradieute.

Often the humble tradieute doubles as a second family car and does all the heavy lifting for the family. Ute canopies are particularly useful in the family setting, allowing things like bikes, prams and boogie boards to be safely stowed away. Equally, bullbars are essential when taking the ute on a road trip to the bush or the beach. Ladder racks are also popular in the family setting allowing fishing roads and surfboards to be transported easily. Ladder racks are also very useful when transporting furniture. While the benefits of ladder racks are obvious in a work setting, they clearly have many advantages for weekend use as well.

The main message here is that people use utes for all sorts of reasons. Therefore, there has been a rise in the popularity of customisedute trays, canopies and accessories. Customisation of ute trays means that they are designed to suit your specific needs. It also means that you can customise the look of your ute as well as its functionality. The range of accessories and colours available means you are spoilt for choice when selecting customisedute trays.

Some of the more practical considerations revolve around strength, durability and function.

Your Ute is your workhorse; it can be your family utility vehicle or a home on wheels. These amazingly designed vehicles can safely carry heavy-duty tools to your worksite or all your fun toys to the beach. Ute trays are highly versatile and for even more functionality need to be customized. It is definitely worth upgrading your Ute tray to make the most out of your vehicle, both at work and at home.

If you do want to go on road trips you may think the factory tray is fine but professionals often consider fabricated ute trays as the best-suited option. Out of all Ute accessories, Ute trays are the most popular. To improve the quality, capacity and functionality of your utility vehicle, custom Ute trays provide great flexibility and allow you to design a ute tray that best fits your needs. Additionally, to improve the overall performance of your vehicle, it is recommended you seek the guidance of trusted manufacturers to get functional add-ons like ladder racks, bullbars, Ute canopies, and Ute toolboxes.

The following benefits of customized ute trays may help you make an informed decision when designing your own custom Ute tray.

More space

The custom trays are made as per customer needs, so you can opt for trays that are slightly bigger and better than the factory trays.

With Ute trays, you can have the best of both worlds: space and flexibility. The custom Ute tray design is made to your requirements allowing you to get maximum storage space at the back and more cabin space.

More secure

Ute customization comes with lots of security benefits, such as lockable features in the tray. This means you can be at peace knowing that your expensive tools are being carried securely to your worksite and will remain secure in your ute tray, even when you are away from the vehicle. Your families belongings will also be kept safe. 

More Powerful

Custom Ute trays are designed to cater for power and performance needs. Hence, you can have confidence in the power and functionality of your vehicle while carrying heavy load articles. When carrying heavier items your factory-made tray might lag in performance, making custom ute trays more desirable as they are built with attention to quality, superior load-bearing capacity and are made from robust quality steel. 

More value

Custom Ute trays offer a range of functional benefits and as a result, will add more value to your vehicle. When you resell a vehicle that comes with highly versatile add-ons and robustly built accessories, your ute will stand out from the crowd and you will likely reap the rewards of every cent that you invested in customization. 

More practical

Customising your ute tray is more practical because you can design and upgrade according to your needs, meet your weight carrying specifications or your storage space expectations. When you seek expert suggestions to get a custom-built product, the final result will be more practical in use. 

If you want more storage space, if you want to carry your loads securely, if you want a valued upgrade that offers lasting durability, then getting your Ute customized is the best option. And if you are a tradie then a customisedute tray is for you.
