Ladder racks make it easier to carry long, awkward gear, like extension ladders, timber, conduit, or pipes, without sacrificing tray space or safety. A well-fitted rack keeps your load secure and frees up the rest of your ute for tools and gear.
Aluminium ladder racks are lightweight, rust-resistant options that deliver strength and durability. They’re ideal for tradies who need reliable load support without adding extra weight to the vehicle. We offer full racks, side mounts, and rear bars to suit all setups, including tray backs and canopies.
Need something that fits into a touring rig or a dual-purpose build? Our range includes options that integrate with a canopy ladder rack, giving you roof access when paired with a canopy ladder. They also work well with a canopy for a ute, allowing you to carry gear up top while keeping valuables secure below.
A ute ladder rack is also easy to pair with storage accessories like a ute toolbox, giving you a setup that works both on-site and off-road. Whether you’re hauling tools or loading surfboards, our racks are designed to hold up under pressure and across rough conditions.

Selecting the right ute ladder rack depends on how you plan to use it. For tradespeople who need to transport tools and materials frequently, a sturdy tradesman ladder rack provides the durability and convenience required for daily use. These racks are strong enough to handle heavy loads and can be customised with accessories like a canopy ladder for even more functionality.
If you're looking for a more flexible option, a ute rear ladder rack can be a great choice. It allows easy access to items from the back of your vehicle, making it ideal for quick loading and unloading. This setup is perfect for those who need to transport ladders or long items without the hassle of climbing onto the tray.
A tradesman ladder rack is built specifically for the demands of professional use. It provides secure mounting points for ladders and other equipment, ensuring everything stays in place during transit. These racks are compatible with a range of ute toolboxes and other accessories, allowing you to create a fully customised mobile workshop.
Tradesman ladder racks are compatible with fridge slides and drawers for utes, providing even more storage and organisational options. By combining these elements, you can make the most of your vehicle's storage capacity, keeping your tools and equipment organised and easy to access.
A ute rear ladder rack is a versatile addition to your vehicle, providing easy access and secure transport for long items. Unlike traditional ladder racks that span the full length of the vehicle, a rear ladder rack mounts at the back, making it easier to load and unload without climbing onto the tray.
This type of ladder rack is particularly useful for transporting ladders, surfboards, or other long items. It can be paired with ute toolboxes to maximise storage space and keep your tray area organised and accessible. This setup is ideal for both work and leisure, offering a practical solution for anyone who needs extra storage capacity.
To get the most out of your ladder rack, consider integrating other accessories like ute toolboxes, fridge slides, and drawers for utes. These additions help keep your tools and equipment organised and accessible, transforming your vehicle into a fully equipped mobile workshop. For example, combining a ladder rack with a canopy ladder allows you to access roof storage easily, while a fridge slide keeps refreshments or perishables secure and easy to reach.
When choosing accessories, ensure they are compatible with your ladder rack and vehicle setup. This will ensure a secure fit and safe transport of your items, whether on the job or heading off on an adventure.

A ute ladder rack carries ladders, pipe and long lengths of timber up and out of the way. That leaves your tray and toolboxes free for everything else.
Our racks are boltable aluminium made from 40mm tubing. They are built to bolt onto a ute or truck toolbox or canopy. There are two sizes:
Both sizes come in raw aluminium, white or black. Pick the finish that matches your box or canopy.
Measure the top of your box or canopy first, so you know where the rack will sit. Then check the load is tied down before every trip.
Building a full set-up? Start with one of our ute canopies, then add a canopy ladder to reach the roof. For bulky gear, see our cargo cages.
Racks ship from our Prestons NSW warehouse to anywhere in Australia. You can also book a pickup and see them in our showroom.
