It's incredible to me how many working men drive around as if the laws of physics do not apply to the gear in the bed of their truck.

This sort of thing seems like it is a no brainer but that kind of arrogance can bite you. I really appreciate you giving so graciously of your experience. Thanks!!!

Thank you! Got a ladder rack that’s not “bolting in” the way it should and found a great deal on a used 40’ ladder I need to pick up today. Now I can get the ladder and wait to install the rack when I can take my time and do it right. From one Va resident to another; Thank you sir!

I agree with everything EXCEPT hooking the tie-on strap to the banding strap. If the banding strap is broken or fails then the strap to hold the load on is lost. The better arrangement is to tie onto the load with the tie-on strap. In this case go from the eyebolt on the truck to the ladder and either all the way around the ladders on each side or between the rails and the rungs of the ladder. This is the way I strap a load down. I am not a trucker or contractor just an old civil engineer. I believe most loads need to be flagged if they are over 4 feet out of the truck.

I was hoping someone might comment on this. I am in agreement with that. Never strap to an existing strap in the event that one of them should fail and now you have lost both straps and their functions, whereas if you have two straps tied down independently and one fails, the other will still function as it was intended. Thank you for addressing this!

I never thought about that until you said it. Noah sure does remind me of Red Green. That's so funny :)

Great video! I have one helpful tip and one safety precaution to add. First, a heavy-duty spanner bar works for those who don't have a toolbox. Second, be cautious when making 90-degree turns as the extended load will swing in the opposite direction of your turn.

In Texas it can not extend more than 4 feet beyond the end of the truck.

I feel like the only real advantage of having a ladder rack is that it presents itself as a more secure method, it could look kinda messy to your customers just having a bunch of ladders hanging out the back of your truck.

Actually the limit in all of the states I have been in,,is 4 feet
@blawler Жыл бұрын
That's the minimum allowable limit for each state, most states allow up to 15 feet extending from the last axel.

Pretty disorganized way to carry ladders or staging. If you're a carpenter/builder then you show up with what you'll need or will need. Sometimes ladders, sometimes staging of various kinds. If you have a rack to hold ladders or larger staging like pump jacks that opens up the bed of the truck for other items like lumber or camel staging.

Missing the point of the ladder rack my guy, a ladder rack will increase the amount of material you can carry because your rack and and your bed can be full of stuff.
