Guides to getting the right rack on the right van
Plain-language answers to the searches trades actually make: which rack fits a Transit high roof, how ProMaster and Sprinter roofs differ, steel versus aluminum, and how to measure the van before you order. Every guide is based on the kits and fitment we list in the catalog. We still confirm roof height and wheelbase before every order.

Steel vs aluminum van ladder racks
Steel or aluminum is the choice most people stall on. On the racks we sell, the load rating is set by the number of mounts, not by the metal, so the decision is really about weight, look, use and budget.

Van shelving and interior kits: what to choose
A roof rack carries what you take to the job. The interior is what keeps that kit from sliding around the cargo area. Our trade packages bundle shelving, drawers, bins and a partition so you are not picking every part in isolation.

How to measure your van for a ladder rack
The two measurements that make or break a rack order are roof height and wheelbase. You can read both from the van in a few minutes, and we still confirm them before we place the order.
