Maximize Your Sprinter's Utility with Our Galvanized Ladder Rack
Designed specifically for Sprinter vans, this galvanized ladder rack is the epitome of strength and durability.
Hot dip galvanized for a rust-free, abrasive-resistant finish, it's built to last a lifetime. The rack features welded side trusses from robust steel tubing, ensuring secure and stable support for your cargo.
Available in 12' and 14' sizes to match Sprinter 144" and 170" wheelbases, it boasts a substantial 750 lb. load capacity.
Understanding the Galvanized Finish of Our Roof Mount Ladder Rack
We prioritize durability and longevity in our products. This is why our roof mount ladder racks are galvanized, a process that offers robust protection against corrosion.
However, it's important for our customers to understand the unique characteristics of galvanized finishes:
- Appearance: Galvanization gives the steel a matte gray finish that may appear uneven. This finish is due to the natural variations in steel chemistry, particularly silicon and phosphorous levels. Additionally, the thickness of the material affects the cooling rate, influencing the finish - thinner parts may have a slightly shinier appearance, while thicker sections will cool to a matte gray.
- Uniformity Over Time: Regardless of these initial differences, all galvanized surfaces eventually adopt a consistent, uniform matte gray appearance as they weather naturally. The key point to remember is that the effectiveness of corrosion protection remains constant, irrespective of these aesthetic variations.
- Powder Coating Over Galvanization: For those desiring a more refined look, we offer powder-coated finishes over the galvanized steel. This adds an aesthetically pleasing touch, but it's crucial to note that powder coating is applied over the galvanized surface, which can be rough due to the bonding process of galvanization. The powder coating enhances the appearance but does not smooth out the underlying texture.
Why We Don't Use Stainless Steel Hardware
While stainless steel has its advantages, it lacks the strength required for the demanding applications of our ladder racks. Therefore, we opt for more robust materials that ensure the durability and reliability our customers expect.
