WEATHER GUARD Compact Steel Truck Rack - Matte Black
Put your truck to work with the WEATHER GUARD Compact Steel Truck Rack. Designed for contractors, tradespeople, and anyone who regularly transports ladders, lumber, pipe, and other long materials, this heavy-duty rack adds overhead carrying capacity while keeping your truck bed available for tools and equipment.
Built from durable steel with a matte black finish, the rack offers an up to 1,000 lb. evenly distributed load capacity, subject to vehicle and mounting limitations. Adjustable front legs accommodate different bed lengths, while integrated tie-down points help keep cargo secure during transport.
A welded front airfoil helps reduce wind resistance, while the removable rear crossmember provides additional clearance when loading taller items. Rear grab handles offer convenient access to the truck bed.
