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.

Our Review: StarONE’s Versatile Van Roof Rack System

We recently had the opportunity to test the StarONE Universal Van Roof Rack, and we were impressed with its versatility. This 3-bar system easily mounts to rain gutters, making installation straightforward on various van models including the Chevy Express series, Ford E-series, and GMC Savana.

What caught our attention was the adjustable design that allows for customization based on your cargo needs. The rack feels solidly built and handled our test loads without any concerning flex or noise during transit.

Our team particularly appreciated how the rack maintains a relatively low profile while still providing ample carrying capacity for ladders and other equipment. The powder-coated finish seems durable enough to withstand the elements, which is essential for work vehicles.

For contractors and delivery services needing reliable overhead storage, we found the StarONE offers excellent value compared to more expensive alternatives on the market.

We Test the StarONE Ford Transit Ladder Rack: Worth It?

After two weeks of rigorous testing with our 2018 Transit 250, we’re impressed by the StarONE 54″ Van Ladder Rack. Installation was straightforward with the included hardware, taking us about 3 hours. The 800-pound capacity isn’t just marketing-we loaded it with multiple extension ladders, roof materials, and conduit with zero concerns about stability.

The three-bar design provides excellent support, while the integrated cargo roller makes loading ladders a one-person job. No more awkward stretching or potential damage to your vehicle’s finish.

What truly stands out is the build quality. The heavy-duty aluminum construction feels robust yet doesn’t add excessive weight to the van’s roof. We’ve taken our Transit through various weather conditions and construction sites, and the rack shows no signs of wear.
