The
Boat Rack is specially designed to lengthen your truck or SUV's
cargo hauling capacity by simply fitting to a Class III hitch, and
has two different applications in one model. If your boat is being
carried above the truck or SUV for roof top hauling, the Boat Rack
will extend between 55" and 62 ½" above the hitch for the vertical
position. The other option is to use it as a bed extension and reaches
back 53" from the hitch. It then adjusts in height from 15 ½" to
23" above the hitch height. This places the Boat Rack in the bed
level position.
The
total weight of a Boat Rack package is only 32lbs, is extremely
durable and has a 350lb load capacity. All components of the Boat
Rack are square, steel hollow tubing which have a smooth black finish
for easy handling and aesthetically pleasing. It installs and removes
in seconds. The 49" width of the top bar provides plenty of area
in which to support the load, and has brackets on the ends which
are 48 ½" apart to help prevent the boat from sliding when straps
are used to secure it.
When
not in use the Boat Rack stores flat behind the seat. A red flag
is even included for safety and convenience. The Boat Rack takes
most of the weight and strain from the roof rack and eliminates
scratches and bumps caused when loading long items on the vehicle.
The
Boat Rack will work on any hitch since there is an optional adaptor
accessory for 1 ¼" receivers. There are also Foam Blocks available
to attach to the Boat Rack for better stability and scratch resistance.
If you are roof top hauling in the vertical position and don't have
a roof rack, there is a Universal Roof Rack with a 1" round bar
available that will fit any truck, SUV or car since it attaches
in the door well areas. Since there are many different companies
which manufacture hitches they can vary in size. If the Boat Rack
is slightly loose in the hitch, a clamp on Hitch Snugger is also
available.
When you are searching for the ideal way to haul longer loads with your truck or SUV, the Boat Rack is the ultimate solution.
