The ladder racks themselves are great. The box opened during shipping, and the fasteners fell out. Called for a replacement. But there were some missing from that bag too.
by: David12/11/2017
The included hardware did have some issues going into the steel structure of the trailer. So did my drill bits. Was able to purchase hardware locally for the ones that snapped. The rack has been great. Supports my solar array fine and doesn't move.

E Trailer had just what I wanted and still had my name and info from what I bought a few years back. Just received my order today, exactly when they said I would get it. Great company
by: Kevin L.11/30/2018
Very easy installation on 10x6 flat top enclosed trailer. The only modification was having to cut about 4.5" off of each cross member bracket to get rid of all the excess height. Plan on using for kayaks, canoes, and anything else that may be to long to stuff into this little dry shack.

Very easy install....Very fast delivery...Light Weight...Easy Assembley...Just installed on 6-27-18 and haven't used yet...However, it's a "Recommend" from me...I do have a suggestion for you though...After install I needed about 18 inches of filler tube to hide my joints. I recieved two (2) filler tubes totaling about 84 inches for a 6 x 12 trailer...My point is I'm throwing about 66 inches of aluminum away...That's a big waste....So on a 6 x 12 trailer you only need to send one (1) 20 inch filler piece....Thank you for a (HIGH) quality product w/fast shipping....
by: Ron05/13/2018
After installing, I decided to take them back apart and cut about 3 inches off each leg, like the look a lot better closer to trailer roof. Thank you Cathy and Nicole for helping me decide on this ladder rack. Great product. Ron W.

Just opened the box.Everything looks good. Installation to come.

I installed this to hold my luggage carrier on my motorcycle trailer to move from Virginia to California and I left it on my trailer since then. It works great!

etrailer.com was very user-friendly and their staff was very professional in helping with shipping our new ladder racks for our work trucks. The Ladder Rack - Rackem Fitz-all kit we purchased is very durable and has a carrying capacity of 400 lbs.
by: Ryan 04/11/2024
Installed easily. Strong but will never rust. Love it.
by: David10/09/2022
Everything got great but the long self tapping screws broke three times and I had to redrill. They did provide extra screws though.
So if your putting these on your trailer predrill with a 5/32 drill bit first.
Love the fit and the professional sleek look

The racks themselves are strong, and we'll designed. The welds are good and they're relatively easy to install. My only complaint s are that the diagonal braces on the uprights had holes punched in the middle of each. The problem with that is water can get in them without anywhere to go. To remedy this, I drilled a small hole at the bottom of each for a drain spot. The other complaint I have is the crossmembers have grinding marks all over the end of them where somebody ground down the welds where the inner and outer crossmembers was adjoined. The metal is rough there like a blind person did it (thinned and wavy). I don't even understand why they had to grind it that much, just to flatten out what was probably tack welds. I'm sure they're not all like that, and they'll still do what I need them to, and it wasn't reason enough for me to send them back, plus I needed them asap because I don't have ladder racks on my truck anymore. I would have given them 5 stars if not for those things. etrailer.com was easy to deal with. They're very professional, and notified me when they shipped, and had them to me when they said they would. I will definitely order more things from them in the future.
by: James H. 07/27/2017
I just ordered this week, received quickly, and installed my aluminum ladder/kayak on my cargo/kayak fishing trailer. Very happy with it. I cut it down 3 inches to make strapping it down possible by standing in/on the trailer. Looks so good I have to wash that trailer. I plan to add racks to the inside to hold my fishing poles and, install a vent with fan, and maybe hang a hammock. Wrapped plumbing pipe foam insulation wrap on the crossbars to cushion the yak.
Installation instructions were spot on.
I recommend this rack to anyone. I think the price was reasonable and weld quality is superb.
by: Adrian04/10/2020
Installed on utility trailer to carry additional kayak(s). Install straight forward, easy install.
Why pay more for “specialty” rack with lower load rating- just need something to finish off (make scratch resistant) the top ends of the vertical posts.
by: Kyle F.10/21/2014
These ladder racks were excellent, as expected. Very easy to install, even for someone like myself who had never installed a set before. They're very sturdy and we have no issue with loading multiple ladders on them. On top of that, the customer service when I called in to place the order was excellent. They took my order quickly and shipped out the same day, plus emailed me a tracking number. I would definitely buy these racks again.
by: Darren Strean04/25/2019
I purchased these on Tuesday evening and received them Thursday afternoon. Working by myself An hour and a half later I had them installed. Super easy to install. I put each section together first and extended them to the approximate measurement. I took two 5 gallon buckets and flipped them upside down on top of my trailer then set the rack across them. I installed screws on one side then making sure it was straight installed screws on opposite side. Repeating the same steps on other rack .
by: Mike Bell02/25/2017
I am very happy with the racks! They were very easy to install (one person less than 30 minutes). We live and work close to the ocean and after one year they show no signs of rust or wear I need to order one more as I have found myself over loading just the two.
As a building contractor, I highly recommend this product and e-trailer! Even the delivery came the day it was scheduled.
Thanks e-trailer

Turned my cargo trailer into a fishing kayak trailer. Easy to install. Great alum kayak rack.
by: Travis 03/31/2024
Would recommend and buy again!
by: Robert06/04/2019
Great rack system for an affordable price! I cut them down to make them shorter for my flat roof trailer then pre drilled holes. Install was easy and hassle free. I will be putting these same racks on my two other trailers!
by: Nicole 04/08/2024
I had to cut them down because they were way too tall, but otherwise excellent!
by: Lamar F.06/16/2020
I used the rack to mount solar panels to my travel trailer. I shortened the legs so that the panels are closer to the roof. It works great for my application.
by: Dan 07/18/2023
Everything fit and assembled as advertised. Installation video provided by etrailer made it quick work. Seems solid enough for my application - solar panels.
by: David06/01/2018
Product arrived earlier than expected and was easier to install that I would have believed. It took me less than an hour to completely install racks on my trailer! I have used these repeatedly in the short time that I have had them installed. A tremendous investment, and an excellent product.
by: Brett 10/28/2022
It’s like having a whole new world of storage and transportability!

view full answer... - Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack For a 2024 Cargo Mate Trailer Without Rain GuttersWhile the Rack'Em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 was designed to fit on trailer with a rain gutter, we have had several install it on their trailer without rain gutters.

view full answer... - How Many RackEm Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Racks Are Needed For 6 X 12 Aluminum TrailerI called my contact at RackEm and asked about the Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack, part # RA-28 and your all aluminum trailer. They told me that two sets would be ideal for your trailer since it is 12-ft long and the load capacity would be increased but how much more it can carry depends on the trailer construction.

- Weight Capacity of Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack RA-28The Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 has a 400-lb total weight rating for its two adjustable crossbars so I would expect that it will be up to the task of handling your extension ladder. As a check I looked into the weight of several extension ladders; a Werner 40-foot fiberglass extension ladder weighs between 89-lbs and 125-lb depending on the specific model. 40-foot aluminum extension ladders tend to weigh about the same. If you plan to use two of the Rack'Em...

- What is Actual Weight Limit for Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28The weight capacity of the Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 is 400-lbs maximum if it is installed on a trailer with rain gutters that also has the same weight capacity. This is the maximum capacity of the entire 2-bar rack. The structure that the rack is mounted on naturally also affects the actual load capacity of the combined trailer roof/rack structure. The rack's capacity remains 400-lbs up to its maximum extension of 8-1/2-feet but the particular trailer it is...
view full answer... - Can Rack'em Ladder Rack be Used as a Base for a Roof Tent on an Open Utility TrailerIf properly secured to your trailer the ladder rack, # RA-28, could be used as a base for a tent. The rack is rated for 400 pounds maximum so the total combined weight of everything on it cannot exceed 400 pounds. Also whatever the uprights are attached to would also have to be rated as high or higher than the rack.
view full answer... - How Much Can Be Cut to Lower Height of Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack The Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 that you referenced can indeed be cut down a bit to bring the crossbars closer to the roof of the trailer. When we installed the system we cut down the support by about 5 inches and this is pretty much the maximum you will be able to trim down without affecting its integrity. Before any cutting the top of the crossbar measures 17 inches from the bottom of the mounting bracket. I have attached a short installation video that you...

They are left exposed, but the heavy-duty extruded aluminum construction means that there won't be any corrosion or rust due to this exposure.

view full answer... - Determining if Rack-em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack Will Work on Trailer Roof The Rack'em Fitz-All Enclosed Trailer Ladder Rack # RA-28 referenced in your question will work on your enclosed trailer. Rain gutters are essentially a channel along the roof sides of a trailer, but a steel header like what you have pictured on your trailer will also work just fine as an effective mounting point for the ladder rack.

I still have the rack on my trailer, but I cant use my trailer anymore because I converted my motorcycle into a trike and it wont fit in my trailer so Im going to sell it with the rack.
