How is Your Ladder Rack Holding up over Time? https://tuffracks.com/how-is-your-ladder-rack-holding-up-over-time/ Wed, 06 May 2020 13:35:36 +0000 http://172.16.2.58/?p=7603 Most ladder racks are steel, then if you are lucky they are powder coated, the hardware is zinc or steel. What happens in a year, RUST, on your vehicle and your equipment, not to mention you are loosing structural integrity. Our Tuff Racks are made from Aluminum, with top grade stainless mounting hardware. We do not rust, the racks last for years, and in most cases last longer than your vehicle, and are transferable to your new vehicle, if they are the same type. You get what you pay for, buy the best, and keep them for years. Look good when you show up on the job site, and land that work!

Ford E Series https://tuffracks.com/ford-e-series/ Thu, 30 Apr 2020 19:05:14 +0000 http://172.16.2.58/?p=7599 Since I can only have six pictures, the Ford E Series is a choice, but you must choose a modern model first. Please remember the Chevy Express and GMC Savanna use the same mounting system as a Ford E Series.

What about adding a tube for Pipe?

I see even major ladder rack manufactures only add one ladder stop? Who only has one ladder?

If you have experienced these issues, we are here to help.

We have two ladder stops, our side mounts have holes, and our design allows for the addition of a pipe tube, middle or left or right side!!

Be flexible, be safe, and do not waste your hard earned money on junk, buy the best, you deserve it!!!

CITY EXPRESS: CHEVROLET’S NEWEST MINI VAN https://tuffracks.com/city-express-ladder-rack/ Thu, 28 Apr 2016 15:30:06 +0000 http://172.16.2.58/?p=6853 Tuff Racks Update For New Vehicles

After years of producing one of the most popular minivans, the Astro, Chevrolet is producing its next generation of minivans called the City Express.  Chevrolet was out of the market for many years.  Soon the auto producers like Nissan and Ford started introducing the Nissan NV 200 and the Ford Transit Connect.  Now Chevy is again competing for commercial business in the smaller van industry.  Smaller commercial vans have become commonplace as an important tool in so many businesses these days who need to cut costs in automobile expenses.  Many small businesses such as florists, dry cleaners, delivery services, pest control and even some in the health care industry are choosing to purchase these smaller vehicles.  With many of these businesses, ladder racks have become a necessary tool even on these smaller vans as many businesses need to carry cargo, like ladder racks, etc. to their job sites.  And as always, Tuff Racks has now designed an aluminum ladder rack to fit like a glove on these new vehicles.  We have designed rails to mount these racks on for the smaller vans as the gutter mounted ladder racks are now becoming obsolete.

Ladder Rack Solution For The City Express

So if you’re looking for the perfect aluminum ladder rack for your Ford Transit Connect, Nissan NV, Chevrolet City Express, check out our Tuff Racks ladder rack.  Our ladder racks are easy to install, and our customer techs are always available Monday through Friday from eight to five eastern time should you have any questions.  You can check out our website for additional products we offer for these aluminum racks, such as ladder stops.  In addition, we have new roller bars in stock for the high-top vans.  This makes it easier to unload the ladder rack without purchasing the costly drop-down ladder racks that are available on the market.  After 20 years, Tuff Racks is still manufacturing the most well-made ladder rack on the market to carry the tools and equipment you need to perform your jobs efficiently.

FLORIDA CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY BOOMING AGAIN https://tuffracks.com/florida-construction-industry-booming/ Mon, 05 Oct 2015 19:24:58 +0000 http://172.16.2.58/?p=6782 After five years of economic decline, the economy in Florida seems to be stabilizing, which means the construction industry is picking up again. This has been the busiest year yet in the sale of aluminum Tuff Racks since its inception. We have seen every area in the construction field grow, from electricians to HVAC to plumbers. Sales in the Southwest Florida area, in particular, appear to be equal to the pre-recession era. In addition, several new types of vans have been introduced into the automobile industry in the past couple of years, resulting in many new additions to the Tuff Racks ladder racks. As the vans have progressively gotten taller, we have designed new ladder racks with roller bars for easier access to ladders on these types of vans, including the Ford Transit, Nissan NV and the Dodge ProMaster, as well as the Mercedes Sprinter.

There seemed, however, to be a decrease in sales of full-size vans such as the Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana and the Ford E-series. It seems the taller models are now more popular. We have seen an increase, though, in the smaller vans. The most common commercial small or minivan on the market for years was the Chevrolet Astro van. The minivan that we see most requiring an aluminum ladder rack now is the Nissan NV200. However, the Transit Connect and the Chevrolet City Express, as well as the ProMaster City, are catching up in popularity. A large number of these vans are now sporting newly-designed Tuff Racks ladder racks in addition to shelving packages that have been installed, making them extremely affordable, efficient, and easy to drive in traffic, compared to the larger models in the city. In general, we are all hopeful the economy will continue on the upswing as Tuff Racks ladder racks continue to grow.

Plumbers, Keep Water Pipes In A Row https://tuffracks.com/plumbers-keep-water-pipes-in-a-row/ Fri, 07 Nov 2014 21:11:05 +0000 http://172.16.2.58/?p=6606 Select a Roof or Ladder Rack that is for a Specific Vehicle

When a plumbing business selects a ladder or roof rack for vehicles such as vans, their choice needs to be durable serve for many uses. The team at Tuff Racks manufacture sturdy ladder racks on location in Fort Myers, Fla., to fit on specific vehicle brands such as Ford, General Motor or Nissan. This means the ladder rack meets the specifications required for each variety of van or truck to ensure it remains safely on the vehicle while it is in motion. In addition to holding a wood, steel or aluminum ladder in place to provide free space inside a vehicle, the devices are suitable for holding other materials required by plumbers working at residential and commercial properties.

Save Money with a Smaller and More Energy Efficient Vehicle

While a plumber may need an adjustable ladder occasionally to reach certain locations in a building, a rack on their service truck or van can also hold large sections of pipes securely to prevent damage. Of course, a plumber should use specialized ties to hold the water pipes in place to prevent them from shifting along a busy highway. By using a ladder rack to hold new pipes to take to a house or building for installation, a plumbing company can use a smaller and more energy efficient vehicle. The interior of a van with a ladder rack has more free space to hold fixtures such as sinks, bathtubs, and toilets.

Complete Emergency and Routine Service Calls Faster with a Ladder Rack

Plumbers are often rushing from job site to job site, especially for emergency service calls that require fast access to piping materials. When a plumber places a metal or polyvinyl chloride pipes on a ladder rack, they can arrange the items by length and dimension to make particular sizes easier to find. Pipes held securely in ladder rack clasps and ties are less likely to develop breakage or dents that make the pipes unusable. A ladder rack that holds pipes and tubing increases a plumbing business’s profits by avoiding losses caused by defective replacement parts and time-consuming service calls.

Ladder Racks Provide a Versatile Storage System for Plumbers

Organization of expensive tools, parts and fixtures is a vital part of ensuring a plumbing business offers fast and efficient services at commercial and residential properties. Plumbing companies ordering ladder racks from Tuff Racks can talk to the knowledgeable salespeople about how the equipment is used to hold pipes with sturdy tie-down attachments. Ordering brackets to hold different sizes of pipes provides additional protection for the devices along with making it simpler to organize before arriving at a job site. Contact Tuff Racks today to learn how versatile a ladder rack and attachment accessories are on the top of a plumbing company’s service van.
