UtilityFAQ
Ladder rack questions
How much easier is a drop-down rack?
Adrian Steel says ProLift’s precision lift assist cuts the lift by up to 50%, and the Max-Drop system brings the ladder lower for ergonomic loading on tall vans.
Can I secure ladders against theft?
Yes. ProLift and Grip-Lock list theft protection, and Grip-Lock is padlock capable.
How much can a utility rack carry?
Adrian Steel says its HD Utility rack is tested to handle 500+ lb, and notes you should always follow your vehicle OEM’s roof payload rating — the lower number wins.
Can I carry conduit too?
Yes. Adrian Steel conduit carriers (10′6″ and 12′6″ aluminum, or 4″/6″ PVC end caps) work with ProLift, Grip-Lock and HD Utility racks on full-size low-roof vans.
