Today, we'll be taking a look at the Rackem Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers, part number RA-16. This rack features a unique and durable hammered paint finish, and it will last for many years. It allows you to securely transport spare tires in your enclosed trailer. You have multiple attachment points. The multiple attachment points allow you to adjust the height of your spare tire or carry an additional tire. Additional holders are sold separately with part number RA-16HST. Now that we've gone over some of the features of the rack, let me show you how to get this installed into your trailer.
As you can see, we've got a nice, large hook here. Typically, for the rounded-top enclosed trailers, that's going to be made to go right over the top edge here into that frame runner or that rail that runs up and down. Now, in our case, we're using a flat-top, so right behind this board, we've got wires that run the length of the trailer, and we certainly wouldn't want these coming over there getting into our wires. Plus, you can see it's not the thickest plywood in the world that they've used, so what we've done, we've taken the 2x6. You can see it here.
We've beveled the back side of it, and that allows for a perfect fit when our rack inaudible 00:01:20 just slid down on top. Let's just take our screws and start putting them in. Please keep in mind the hardware is not provided. We're now going to remove the wing nut from the stud. Slide the spare tire over the bracket. As we do that, we'll want to place our bolt through one of our wheel stud holes.
We can then replace the washer and tighten down the wing nut to hold our spare in place. That will complete today's look at the Rackem Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers, part number RA-16. .

Still holding my trailer tire in place

Holding up well, like how solid the construction and design is.

Attached is a set of photos of my new “Rack-Em” interior tire hanger. I bought both the new spare tire and wheel from etrailer and it was SUPER easy on-line. I watched it track on my phone and both items arrived AHEAD of schedule. I installed the hangar and the tire in MINUTES!
Thanks Bros and Sis’s at etrailer, I’m as they say: “Miles Ahead with etrailer!”
by: Ryan07/14/2019
Followed the installation recommended in the etrailer video and it works fine. I would suggest adding some wood blocks on each side of the tire to limit wobble.
by: Mike R11/01/2020
This spare tire rack is a great accessory for inside an enclosed cargo trailer. Remember to place this inside near the side walk-in door for easier access to remove when you have a flat. I also found that a 2x4 mounted on each side of the tire keeps the tire from wobbling and keeps the tire stable. I would recommend this to anyone to get the spare tire up and out of the way but easy and quick to get when you need it.
by: Dirk08/11/2021
Very well constructed mounted it on 2x6 cut 45° 3inch wide. Also watched your video.
by: Tony05/26/2016
The product was simple to install and seems to be a great fit for my trailer.
by: Joe 08/29/2022
Does exactly what you'd expect. Ordered 2, 1 for trailer spare and 1 for UTV spare. Took a little adjusting to get it to work correctly with the UTV spare but it's not the intended purpose so no complaints. The wingnut is a little clunky because of the angle of attack but it just has to hold it back from bouncing off, so again, no complaints.
by: Wade H.10/16/2017
First the service - - prompt, very well packaged, arrived faster than I expected. Now the products - - tires and wheels look fine and installed correctly - -I will update on how they do on and off the highway. Spare tire rack was EZ to install in the enclosed trailer. Great experience with etrailer!
by: Neil02/11/2018
This works great. My only complaint is that I wish the etrack went even higher (or the install bracket was shorter), I would like to get the tire as close to the ceiling of my trailer as possible.
by: Mike B04/29/2017
Very impressed with the quality of the RA 16 spare tire holder. Installed fairly easy requiring some addition wooden panels to shim up the walls to ensure a flat fit against the wall. Would have been nice to have included at least some 1 inch self tapping screws for installation. Would recommend the product to my friends.
by: Scottie07/05/2016
Gosh it's great. Mounts perfect, and have zero trouble with it. Looks great in my trailer. I recommend it to all. Everybody that sees it, just love it, and the way I mounted it. 6 stars from me. I'll have to send a picture from my I phone.
by: James l05/02/2018
Looks like it will be very useful for a spare wheel which now just lies on the floor of the trailer getting in the way.
Will install later this spring.
by: Denali HD Duramax07/07/2021
Quick shipment, easy to install and good quality. Inside enclosed trailer spare tire storage.

See what our Experts say about this RackEm Spare Tire Carrier
- Can the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier Be Mounted to a WallThe CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier part # CE27310G could certainly be mounted to a wall if the proper supports and hardware were used to support its weight. That said, a better option actually designed to be mounted to a wall is the Rack'em Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers part # RA-16. Please note, if installing on exterior wall on aluminum trailer steps will need to be taken to prevent galvanic corrosion.
view full answer... - Will the # RA-16 Store Two Full Size Spares in a 1995 Wells Cargo 5 X 8 Enclosed TrailerYes, If you use the top and bottom slots on the Spare Tire Carrier, item # RA-16, to hang your tires there will be enough room. You will also need the Spare Tire Carrier for E-Track, item # RA-16HST, for the second wheel and tire. I figured your tire height and it should be 24.62 inches. If we round that up to 25 inches then you would need 50 total inches to hang the tires. From my calculations a 14 inch wheel and tire combination will also work with the Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers.
view full answer... - Best Method of Attaching E-TrackYou can mount the E-Track Trailer Cargo Control, # EM59150, using wood screws if the mounting surface is wood. If it is sheet metal, I would use sheet metal screws. Basically, match the screw with the material you are mounting to. There is no recommended way of installing the E-Track as installation is the responsibility of each individual installer. The more points you can contact the trailer frame, the more secure the spare tire will be. You might also want to consider using a backing...
view full answer... - Minimum Installed Height for the RA-16 Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Cargo TrailersThe minimum height of the # RA-16 Spare Tire Rack is 48 3/4 inches from the inside of the hook that installs from the runner in your trailer. The hook portion of the rack is welded to the vertical E-Track portion of the spare tire carrier, so if you needed to adjust the height you would need to remove a portion of the bottom of the spare tire carrier. There are attachment holes in the E-Track portion of the rack at 22-1/2, 30-1/2, 38-1/2 and 46-1/2 inches, for securing the rack to the trailer...
view full answer... - Is the Top Part of Rackem Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers Available By ItselfThe top part with the hook on the Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers, # RA-16, is not available as a separate part. A lot of customers who purchase this carrier also add some additional e-track like # E19146, perhaps for exactly the same reason.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Options for Trailer With Large FrameWe have a number of different options that may allow you to carry a spare tire, but nothing that is designed to fit a frame that is 4" wide x 6" tall. The best option may be the Rack'em Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers # RA-16. This is for enclosed trailers but may work for you if you have the space. I have added a link to a video review I recommend checking out. The other option isn't on your trailer but would be if your tow vehicle had a front-mounted hitch; you would then be able...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Options for Cargo Trailer with 6 Inch Tall FrameSince we don't have any frame mount spare tire carriers that can mount to a 6 inch tall trailer frame, we will need to consider other possible mounting options for a spare tire carrier. If your cargo trailer is enclosed, you an use a mount like the Rackem Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers # RA-16. A similar option is the use a section of Vertical E-Track # E19146 with the Rackem Spare Tire Carrier for E-Track # RA-16HST. Either of these options will mount to the wall of the enclosed...
view full answer... - What Solutions are Available to Hang Spare Wheels and Tires for a Quad in an Enclosed TrailerThe RackEm Spare Tire Rack, part RA-16, would be a great solution, provided the top clip can hang on the top edge of the wall. And provided the spare has a large enough pilot hole to fit over the hangers. If there is not a place to hang the track from, you can use standard E-Track, part # E19146 that does not use a top hook. You will also need extra spare carriers, part # RA-16HST to hang the wheel and tires from.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Mount For Inside a Cargo TrailerWe have a couple different options available for a spare tire mount inside your cargo trailer. - Rack'Em Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers # RA-16, this includes (1) spare tire holder but has the ability to hold additional tires with the # RA-16HST. - Erickson Spare Trailer Tire Bracket Kit # EM77316, this includes (1) spare tire mount that works with most 14"and 15" tires-and-wheel assemblies.
view full answer... - Can Demco Spare Tire Carrier be Installed on Inside of Enclosed TrailerFrom the floor to the middle of the mounting bracket for the Demco Spare Tire Carrier for up to 4" Trailer Tongue - Silver # DM15851-52 (also available in Black as # DM15851-76) it measures 13-3/4". Ideally the middle of your wheel will be about in the middle of this bracket so you can use this as a gauge as to whether or not your tire will mount to this in the floor of your trailer. Usually on a spare tire mount the tire will hang below the mounting bracket a little bit but if you have...

- Recommendation of a Spare Tire Carrier for Inside a Cargo TrailerI would recommend the Rack Em Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers, item # RA-16. This rack will allow you to hang the spare tire on the wall of the trailer and additional holders, item # RA-16HST, can be added to carry another tire below the first or other items. The Spare Tire Carrier - Horse Trailer, item # 413200, is designed as an external weld on application.
view full answer... - Will RackEm Spare Tire Carrier for E-Track Work With 6-Lug WheelsI checked out our Expert answers and could not find a reference to limits on the wheel lugs the # RA-16HST would work with. As long as the pilot hole on your tire measures at least 2-15/16 inches diameter, your tire will fit over the end of the arm on the carrier. It uses only one of the wheel lug holes to hold the tire in place. I have attached a photo that shows this carrier being used with a wheel that has 6 lug holes you can check out. To be able to use this carrier you will need...

- Best ST205/75R14 Trailer Tires And Spare Wheel For Cargo Trailer Primarily Carrying ATVs/MotorcyclesI would be happy to make a recommendation on ST205/75R14 tires and a spare wheel and tire for your trailer. For tires I recommend the Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range D # AM10235 which are a high quality tire in the size you need. These tires have an 81MPH speed rating which will be perfect for highway driving while still working on dirt roads, and a 2200lb load rating at 75 PSI for when you need to carry a heavy load like the pallets for the Food Pantry you mentioned....

- Recommended Spare Tire Carrier For Inside Of An Enclosed Trailer It sounds to me like you're wanting a spare tire carrier for inside of an enclosed trailer. If this is the case then we have the Rack'Em Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers # RA-16. This rack will allow you to hang the spare tire on the wall of the trailer and additional holders, item # RA-16HST, can be added to carry another tire below the first or other items.
view full answer... - Will Spare Tire Rack # RA-16 Hold Two 225/75-15 Tires in a 24ft Enclosed TrailerYour 225/75-15 tires should be slightly over 28-9/32 inches in diameter, so combined you would be looking at about 56-19/32 inches in order to clear both tires. I spoke with my contact at Rack'Em, and the # RA-16 spare tire rack has an overall length of 49 inches, but the E-track portion of the rack is only 25-1/2 inches long. Even with one tire in the top slot and the other in the bottom slot, you would still be a few inches short of fitting both tires on the rack. If your trailer...
view full answer... - Slot Dimensions of the E-TrackThe E-Track has slots that have a length of 2.45-inches and a width of .58 inches. See attached diagram. I couldn't find any information on the ANCOR brand so you would need to compare what you have to those dimensions to know if the accessories like part # RA-16 would fit.
