Standard Builders Roof Rack
Our best selling ‘builders’ roof rack is a flat bed rack with rope hooks all round, side pegs for loading against and a single half width ladder roller to the rear (on all racks except those for the lowest vans), and is the preferred & most suitable rack for the majority of the construction and allied trades.
All our builders’ racks are designed to take a 8’ x 4’ (2400 x 1200) sheet as a minimum. The racks are one piece, plus fixing brackets, fully welded, no awkward assembly, quick and easy to fit. Even racks over 12’ long (for the extra LWB vehicles) are only two pieces that simply bolt together!
All roof racks are hot dip galvanised to BS EN 150. The process bonds the coating metallurgically to the steel giving protection of 20 years plus.
Back door or detachable ladders are also available for most vans.
Our standard builder’s type rack forms the basis of design for the majority of our roof racks, (traderacks), sometimes referred to as ladder racks or platform racks.
Roof racks can be adapted to suit many trades; we will aim to meet your requirements. See the Alternative Solutions options page for guidance.
