We Review the StarONE Van Ladder Rack: Commercial-Grade Hauling Power

When we first installed the StarONE 45″ Van Ladder Rack on our Ram Promaster City, we were immediately impressed by its robust construction. Rated for 800 pounds, this three-bar system easily handled our heaviest ladders and equipment. The white finish complements the vehicle nicely while providing good visibility.

What we particularly appreciate is the rear cargo roller, which makes loading long materials significantly easier on our backs. The aluminum construction keeps weight down without sacrificing durability – important when you’re already hauling heavy loads.

Installation was straightforward, taking us about two hours with basic tools. The rack mounts securely to the van’s existing roof points, with no drilling required.

For contractors and service professionals using the 2015-or-newer Promaster City, we found this rack delivers excellent value for its commercial-grade hauling capacity.

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.
