Recommendations
Inspect entire rack often. Discontinue use if any signs of damage are seen such as bends, creases, cracks or breaks.
Check all connections for tightness.
If the rack will not be moved or removed frequently, it may be helpful to use a thread locker on connecting hardware.
Vehicle Fit
The Pick-Up-Rack™ was designed to be installed on trucks without a traditional over the rail plastic bed liner. Installation is possible on trucks with under-the-rail bed liners with minimal trimming. Spray on bed liners will not interfere with this product. The Pick-Up-Rack™ is based on vehicle designs available at the revision date of these instructions. The Pick-Up-Rack™ is designed to fit a variety of bed lengths and cab designs. It is not recommended for pick-up beds with integrated bed rail systems.
WARNING!
DO NOT exceed the lesser of the maximum load capacity of 400 lbs. (182 Kg.) evenly distributed . “Distributed load” is defined as a load that is not concentrated in a small area.
Any load carried above the bed rails will increase your truck’s center of gravity and will significantly hinder your trucks ability to maneuver, stop turn or accelerate. Avoid sharp turns and excessive speeds as this will increase risks.
This truck rack is solely intended for, and only safe for, transporting ladders, lumber, pipe and other similar materials or recreational items such as canoes and kayaks.
Any modification or unintended use of this product voids any warranty and could create a hazardous condition that may result in property damage, serious bodily injury and/or death. The sole exception being permanent mounting within the prescribed method.

Loads must be secure according to local height and identification regulations and or laws.
Secured loads and connections must be re-checked periodically for tightness.
Overloading the vehicles GVW may cause damage and severely alter the vehicle’s handling and braking characteristics and or
cause the vehicle to roll over.
It is recommended the tailgate be in the up position during use to better stabilize the truck bed.
For safety to your vehicle and rack system, obey all posted speed limits and traffic cautions. Adapt your speed to the conditions
of the road and the load being carried.
