Keep Contractor Vehicles Ready for Action with Back Rack Products
Lately, in the news, there has been talk of a second stimulus that would include more money for highway and bridge construction. Add this to the previous stimulus that focused heavily on “shovel ready” construction projects, and it’s clear that the construction industry and its contractors need to be ready for new projects. That means contractors’ vehicles need to be ready too. Are you prepared? One essential for construction contractors is a cab guard to keep your truck cab safe from the materials you haul in your truck bed. Backrack, a Canadian company, manufactures a line of cab guards that are suitable for your needs.
Backrack’s classic model, the Back Rack, has two thick vertical bars and two intersecting flat bars. It is made of oiled steel for a smooth, sturdy look and finished in a black powdercoat. The Back Rack is designed to fit with many different accessories including light kits, toolboxes, and bed liners. Its design also makes it easy to secure cargo.
Another Headache Truck Rack option is the Safety Rack. This product differs from the cab guard in a few key ways. It offers more protection by having a sturdy, metal grid cover the entire rear cab window. A smaller piece of cargo, such as a 2×4, may still be able to crack or break a rear window even with a cab guard in place. However, the Safety Rack’s design leaves no large spaces of uncovered glass, eliminating this possibility. However, it offers less versatility, as it does not fit as many kinds of accessory light brackets. It also is more difficult to secure cargo to. Be sure you weigh these advantages and disadvantages when choosing between the Safety Rack and the Back Rack.
An additional Backrack accessory that can make hauling ladders, posts, or other long loads easier is the Rear Bar. This is a bar that attaches to the rear of your truck, by dropping into the rear stake pockets. It can easily be removed and will not interfere with the use of your truck’s tailgate. So take a look at these great Contractor Racks and make your truck “shovel ready” or at least ready to haul shovels.
