| QUESTIONS AND ANWSERS Is the Ultimate Rack safe to use? There is always an inherent risk in using any carrying system, or in using ATVs, for that matter. However, we have spent several years designing, engineering, and testing our systems and we feel that they are the safest, most reliable, and highest quality carrying systems on the market. What is the Rack made of? Racks are fabricated out of 2-inch tubular steel. The stationary joints are welded. Joints requiring assembly are connected with 1/2-inch, grade-5 bolts and ny-lock nuts. The tire pans are 1/8-inch diamond-plated aluminum. Ramps are constructed of aluminum. How much does a Rack weigh? A fully assembled, short bed rack, without ramps, weighs 261 lbs. The long bed model weighs 268 lbs. Are any modifications to my truck required? Not necessarily. The Rack can be installed using the factory tie-downs installed in most new trucks. If your truck doesn’t have factory tie-downs, use the four D-ring and swivel-bracketed plates provided in your hardware package. We highly recommend their use. Not all trucks provide the appropriate tie downs for safe and proper installation of the Ultimate Rack. This step takes approximately 30 minutes, and is a one-time procedure. Complete instructions are included. How do I get my Rack into my pickup truck? With the assembled rack standing on its rear end, position the truck directly in front of the rack and pick up the rear end of the rack. Using the tailgate as a fulcrum, slide the rack into the truck bed. Using the four turnbuckles provided, secure the Rack to the truck bed. Can one person install or uninstall a Rack alone? Yes. The rack is easily installed by one person. However, it is a good idea to have someone with you just in case you need assistance. Can I install a Rack if my truck has a plastic bed liner? Yes. However, minor modifications are needed in order to expose the D-ring and swivel brackets. This can be accomplished by using a 2-inch hole saw or a small handsaw. I have a tool box in my long bed truck. Now what? A short bed Rack and a locking tool box are a perfect fit in a long bed truck. In fact, we recommend it! That way, you can have all your tools, and your ATVs, too. How do I secure my loaded ATVs to the rack? There are four 3/8-inch steel loops, two on the front and two on the rear of the rack. Use tie-down straps to secure the ATVs to these loops. We suggest using extra tie-downs on each ATV, just in case one breaks. If your machines have independent rear suspension, we strongly recommend that you purchase our Ultimate Tire Bonnets. How does a fully-loaded rack affect the way my truck handles? Your truck will handle as if you were carrying a small camper. The weight of the ATVs is transferred through the frame of the rack to the bed of the truck. No part of the Rack touches or rests on the bedrails. This allows a more stable ride than you would get with a side-loading carrier, as most side-loading racks rest on and/or attach to the bedrails. The ride and handling will vary depending on the size of your truck. Handling a truck with a loaded rack on it is easier than pulling an ATV trailer; especially on an uphill or downhill grade. Can I carry just one ATV? Yes! You won’t even know it’s there! Where are the ramps stored when not in use? The 10-ft.-long ramps, when folded, store conveniently on the rack platform under the loaded ATVs, leaving the bed of your truck open for storage. This is one of the most talked-about features of the Ultimate Rack. What are some other benefits of owning an Ultimate Rack? Racks are constructed of high quality materials, providing maximum strength and durability. All open ends on the steel tubing have been capped, welded, and ground smooth. The entire rack has been powder-coated to hold up under the harshest of weather conditions, and tolerates heat and moisture much better than paint. Powder- coating gives much longer wear, is chip-resistant, and looks great! Our tire pans are a beautiful blend of functionality and appearance. The 1/8-inch plate aluminum is rust-proof, easy to clean and very durable. All edges are covered with a black edge trim for a smooth finish, a superb look, and safety. The Rack ramps are each ten feet long and constructed of aluminum. Rated at 1000 lbs per ramp, they can easily bear the weight of even the largest of ATVs. After use, the ramps are folded and stored conveniently under the loaded ATVs, leaving the truck bed space available for gear storage. The Rack is designed to complement your full-size truck! Whether you drive a short bed or long bed pickup, the Ultimate Rack fits! If you have a long bed with a standard size toolbox, the short bed model works, so you can have dry and lockable storage, your tools, and your ATVs with you at the same time. The Rack rests on the floor of the truck bed, not on the bedrails, providing more stability and evenly-distributed weight. This feature prevents damage to your bedrails. Your ATVs face forward when loaded on the Rack. This cuts down on wind resistance and prevents fender damage caused by wind. By having your ATVs facing forward, gas mileage is improved. When loading ATVs from the rear of the truck instead of the side, there is no chance of accidentally driving off the other side. The headache rack helps protect the cab and rear window.
