Is Ladder Rack Weight Rating Static or Dynamic?
Question:
Im assuming the 800lbs is the static load. Can you tell me what the dynamic load is? Thanks.

All ladder rack ratings are dynamic, so for the Buyers Products Truck Bed Ladder Rack w/ Load Stops # 3371501680 it can safely handle up to 800 lbs during movement. I'm not sure what the static load rating would be, but it would be more than the 800 lbs. Usually only roof rack manufacturers test and rate for static load because of the growing interest in roof top camping and overlanding. Ladder rack manufacturers mainly have a customer base that looks to haul things while working so they aren't as invested in finding the static rating so you won't see one for a ladder rack and I wouldn't be able to advise going over that 800 lb rating.
