04 / The practical details
Questions about ute ladder racks, headboards and roof racks.
Can you fit a rack to a canopy you did not make?
Usually, yes. Bring the ute in and we check the mounting points and roof strength before quoting.
How much can the rack carry?
We build the rack and mounts around the loads you need to carry. Send the load dimensions, weight and vehicle details so Matt can design the complete arrangement within the vehicle’s limits and confirm its working capacity.
Powder coated or raw?
Raw alloy is cheaper and never rusts but goes dull. Powder coat in black or a colour looks sharper and protects against scuffs. Both are common.
