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.

We Tried the StarONE 800lb Van Ladder Rack: A Game-Changer

We recently put the StarONE 54″ Van Ladder Rack through its paces on our 2019 Ford Transit 250, and we’re genuinely impressed. The 800-pound capacity isn’t just marketing-this heavy-duty system handled everything we threw at it. Installation was straightforward, taking our team about two hours with basic tools. The three-bar design provides excellent stability, while the included cargo roller makes loading ladders a breeze (our backs thank you, StarONE!).

What stood out most was the thoughtful engineering. The rack is specifically designed for Transit 150/250/350 models (2015-2025), which means perfect fitment without modifications. The powder-coated finish has already weathered several rainstorms without showing signs of rust.

For contractors or anyone regularly hauling ladders and lengthy materials, this rack is truly a game-changer that balances functionality with durability.

We Tested the MELIPRON Ford Transit Ladder Rack: A Contractor’s Dream!

After three weeks of putting the MELIPRON Cargo Van Roof Ladder Rack through its paces, we’re thoroughly impressed. Designed specifically for 2015-2025 Ford Transit models, this rack accommodates all roof heights with remarkable versatility. The 800-pound capacity easily handled our equipment loads, while the steel construction feels rock-solid even when fully loaded.

What really stands out is the no-drill installation. We had it mounted in under an hour without putting a single hole in our Transit. The white powder coating not only looks professional but has already proven durable against scratches and weather exposure during our testing.

For contractors constantly loading and unloading ladders, this rack is a game-changer. The secure mounting system eliminated the worrying rattles and movement we’ve experienced with other racks, even on bumpy job sites.
