Rack-It Racks For All Service Body Configurations!




At Rack-it we build racks for virtually any truck you might want them on. That includes Service Bodies which come with a variety of options and configurations. We build a lot of racks for various styles of service or utility bodies. We will even paint to match as you can see, although our standard color is black.

Look at the different mounting configurations in the three photos. Our Rack can be mounted to accommodate Top Lids that open,and Sliding Covers; we will find a way to mount the Rack-It Rack on your service body.

Notice that some of these bodies also have a cargo bed area enclosure and we designed a rack for it as well.

HD Forklift Loadable Rack For West Coast TE And Team Chevrolet





Our good friends down at West Coast Truck Equipment in West Sacramento, CA sent us these images of a rack they just did for Team Chevrolet of Vallejo, CA. WCTE's Jack Schmidt, along with Bob Dias put this truck together utilizing Rack-it's new HD Square Tube Commercial Rack. While this style of rack is typically made for service body applications, as you can see, we can also build these forklift loadable racks to fit pickup beds as well. WCTE needed us to build this rack to specific dimensions to accommodate the high side tool boxes.

We also added custom mounting plates to attach the tool boxes to the rack for maximum support. Last, but not least, we added an expanded metal frame behind the rear window, further customizing the rack to exactly what the customer was looking for. Once again, if you have a customer looking to customize a rack, we love to take on these cool projects, big or small.

The Rack-It Forklift Loadable Rack


Gary Kank, Sales Manager for Rack-it Truck Racks shows us the differences in a forklift loadable truck. Many contractors prefer the forklift loadable rack so they can have forklifts load material directly on the rack rather than hand loading. Sure saves the back!
