System One Contractor Rig Accessories - American Van Equipment

Commercial pickups and trucks used for various business purposes are often outfitted with ladder racks to make transporting ladders and other heavy cargo easy. While installing high-quality ladder racks and truck racks is a no-brainer, it is equally important that choose superior quality accessories that offer a wide range of benefits. In this article, we discuss about some of the best truck rack accessories you can buy online right here at American Van.

3 Must-Have Outfitting Solutions for Your Pickup Truck

1. Rack-Strap

Truck owners use ropes, chains, or bungee cords to tie down materials they need to transport. While these are cheap solutions, they do not necessarily guarantee complete security (especially when the vehicle is on the move). Rack-Straps provide you with a very secure and reliable alternative to makeshift options.

Rack-Strap can be used with any contemporary ladder rack that is fitted on your van or pickup truck. Irrespective of whether the ladder rack has square or round side rail supports, you can easily secure the Rack-Strap in a matter of seconds, which means you can quickly load or unload your material. This solution is excellent for securing ladders, pipes, lumber, and other heavy loads.

You will find rack straps in either a square-mount version or three round-mount versions (sold individually) as follows –

    • RS-1: The square-mount version is apt for racks with square or rectangular side rails
    • RS-3: The round-mount version works for racks with side rails constructed with a 2" diameter round tubing
    • RS-4: This round-mount variant is designed for racks with side rails constructed with 1 5/8" diameter round tubing
    • RS-7: The round-mount version is for racks with side rails constructed with 1 1/4" diameter round tubing

With a durable zinc chromate finish, the housing of the rack strap mounts onto your overhead rack with four bolts. Alternatively, it can also be welded into the rack’s frame permanently. Explore our rack straps for pickup trucks here.

  • American Van’s 13" side stops keep your loads from shifting when the vehicle is in motion. It has anchors that you can use to tie down your heavy cargo.

  • Installing a mid-cross member can enable even weight distribution. This is particularly necessary for flexible loads that might need extra support.
  • A pair of truck box hangers are also a great addition to your pickup truck because they allow you to easily hang truck boxes in the rear, giving you extra storage space.
  • An Easy-Adjust Knob can make the movement of accessories along the recessed T-slots more convenient for you.
