We Test the Heavy-Duty Adjustable Van Ladder Rack

After putting this adjustable ladder rack through its paces for three weeks, we're impressed with its versatility and sturdiness. Compatible with popular full-size vans like the Chevrolet Express and Ford Econoline, this three-bar system installs directly onto rain gutters and adjusts from 57 to 65 inches to fit various van lengths.

What stood out most during our testing was the impressive 800-pound load capacity. We loaded it with multiple extension ladders, conduit, and lumber-the rack didn't budge or show signs of stress. The black powder-coated finish has already proven resistant to scratches and weather exposure.

Installation took us about 90 minutes, with most of that time spent on proper alignment. The adjustable nature means you can optimize the spacing between bars based on what you're hauling.

For contractors and service professionals needing reliable equipment transport, this rack delivers exceptional value.
