Can Pack'Em Rack for Open Utility Trailers Be Welded To Trailer When Installing

Question:

for your item PK-6-OP1, It states not made for welding. Since it is made out of metal, can we still weld it on?

I spoke with my contact at Pack Em about the Rack for Open Utility Trailers, part # PK-6-OP1.

They told me that the manufacturer recommends bolting the rack onto the trailer and not welding it because the stress when items are placed on the rack can cause the weld to fail. Welding this on would void the warranty for the product and I cannot recommend installing it in any manner other than what is recommended by the manufacturer.

I have attached a link to an installation video for this rack you can check out.
