JY PERFORMANCE Ladder Rack for Trailer — Adjustable 400 lb Capacity, Powder-Coated Steel

Built from powder-coated steel and engineered for trailers both open and enclosed, this dual-rack system combines strength with flexibility. The crossbars expand in width and height to fit a wide range of trailer roof profiles, and welded reinforcement plus included hardware simplify installation while resisting the elements.

How strong is the rack and what load can it carry?

The ladder rack supports up to 400 pounds of evenly distributed weight thanks to reinforced welding and a dual-rack design. That capacity covers common trade loads like ladders, lumber, conduit, and recreational equipment when secured properly.

• 400 lb rated total capacity for evenly distributed loads
• Reinforced welds on stress points for improved durability
• Powder-coated finish protects steel from weather and corrosion
• Built-in stoppers reduce forward/back shift during transit

Will it fit my trailer — how adjustable is the rack?

The rack's crossbars expand from about 5.77 ft to 8.65 ft wide and the uprights adjust in height from 16.5 inches to 24.5 inches, letting you tailor the fit to most enclosed and open trailers. The tubing can be cut or trimmed for custom installations if you need a non-standard fit.

• Width adjusts 5.77 ft to 8.65 ft to span various trailer widths
• Height adjusts 16.5" to 24.5" for different roof clearances
• Trim-to-fit design allows on-site customization
• Includes mounting brackets compatible with common trailer rails

How difficult is installation and what hardware is included?

Installation is designed to be straightforward: the rack ships with the mounting hardware and clear instructions needed for assembly. Self-tapping screws and heavy-duty bolts are provided so you can secure the uprights and crossbars quickly; basic tools are all that's required.

• Complete mounting kit included for immediate installation
• Self-tapping screws and heavy bolts for secure attachment
• Step-by-step instructions reduce setup time and guesswork
• Fits common trailer configurations without specialty tools

How does it keep cargo from moving while I drive?

The design incorporates ladder stoppers and a stable crossbar platform to minimize shifting, and the elevated positioning makes it easy to strap or tie down long items. Using ratchet straps or rope with the stoppers secures ladders, pipes, and kayaks for safer transit.

• Integrated stoppers prevent forward and backward movement
• Elevated crossbars give clear points for strap attachment
• Even weight distribution reduces sway and improves handling
• Works with standard ratchet straps or cam straps for firm restraint

Who is this for? The JY PERFORMANCE Ladder Rack is aimed at contractors, tradespeople, fleet operators, and outdoor enthusiasts who need a sturdy, adaptable rack for transporting long or bulky items. If you haul ladders, lumber, conduit, kayaks, or other over-length gear and want a weather-resistant, easy-to-install solution that fits a variety of trailer widths and roof heights, this rack is a practical choice.
