The Sidewinder truck rack is the world’s only side-mounted ladder rack with built-in ratchet straps. It’s a great choice for those who carry all types of ladders or other long cargo and want to keep the bed of their truck free. This is a professional-duty steel ladder rack that carries ladders or other rigid cargo up to 30 inches wide and weighing up to 250 lbs. Designed for all-weather conditions, the Sidewinder truck rack is powdercoated black, providing a tough, corrosion-resistant and attractive finish. Its two heavy-duty universal receivers mount permanently to the inside of the bedrail at the front and back of the bed, and two rack frames quickly insert into or remove from them. The Sidewinder adjusts in height so cargo rides the correct distance above the truck cab. Each rack frame has a ratchet strap that can be extended up to 15 feet as well as auxiliary tie-down loops if ever there is a need for chains and locks or supplemental straps. Securing a ladder is as easy as 1-2-3. The ratchet can then be padlocked to prevent cargo removal.
U.S. RACK® began in a garage in Silicon Valley. The company’s founder, Chris Green, removed his welded rack off his pickup and found out that he had a sore back and no place to store the bulky rack. He wanted to create a rack that could clamp onto a truck and be stored easily when not in use. Determined to make sure that his designs were sturdy and safe, Chris initially worked with a university engineering department and later with an independent engineering lab to load-test components and products. In 2000, he set up a small shop to manufacture the first production racks and in 2003 built the larger manufacturing plant in Madera, Ca. U.S. Rack is still a small business but now manufactures over 40 different models of racks to satisfy every need for both work and play. Whether you need a rack to carry your bike, kayak, canoe, or any other cargo, the company has you covered.
