ECOTRIC Van Roof Ladder Rack 47"–78.5" Adjustable Gutter-Mount, 500 lb Capacity, White Powder-Coat

ECOTRIC Van Roof Ladder Rack is a heavy-duty, no-drill adjustable gutter-mounted rack that safely supports up to 500 lbs for ladders, lumber, kayaks, and gear.

This two-bar roof ladder rack kit is built for vans with factory rain gutters and offers broad adjustability to fit a wide range of mid-size and full-size vans from Chevy, Dodge, Ford, GMC Express and similar models. Constructed from thick steel and finished in durable white powder coat, the rack assembles with included mounting hardware and clamps to your van’s gutter—no drilling required. The combination of a wide footprint, 7" height clearance and an adjustable spread lets you carry long or bulky loads while protecting both your vehicle and your cargo.

How does this rack fit different van models?

The ECOTRIC rack features extra-wide adjustable bases and a universal two-bar design that accommodates most full mid-size to full-size vans that have factory rain gutters. Width adjusts from 47" to 78.5", letting you center the bars for optimal load support. Always verify your van has an exposed rain gutter edge; without it the gutter clamp cannot attach.

• Adjustable span: 47"–78.5" to match roof width and cargo placement
• Fits vans with factory rain gutters only—no-drill gutter-mount system
• Two-bar configuration suitable for ladders, lumber, and long items
• Mounts using supplied clamps and hardware for a secure fit

What kind of loads and clearance does the rack provide?

Designed to support up to 500 pounds of evenly distributed weight, the ECOTRIC rack handles ladders, canoes, piping and construction materials used in everyday trade work. The bars ride about 7" above the roof, offering clearance for bulky cargo while keeping the profile low enough for garage and parking structures in many cases. For safety, distribute weight evenly and secure items with straps.

• Rated capacity: 500 lbs when properly installed and loaded
• Height clearance: approximately 7" from roof to crossbar
• Best for long, linear loads—ladders, lumber, pipes, kayaks
• Use quality tie-downs and check load tightening before travel

How durable is the construction and finish?

The rack is formed from heavy-duty steel to provide strong support for trade and recreational use. A white powder coat finish guards against rust, chipping and scratches while keeping the rack looking clean on white or light-colored vans. The robust welds, clamps and hardware are selected for commercial use, extending life and resisting daily wear.

• Material: heavy-duty steel frame for high strength and rigidity
• Finish: white powder coating for corrosion and scratch resistance
• Industrial-grade mounting hardware included for secure installation
• Designed for frequent loading and unloading in work settings

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

Installation requires no drilling—the rack clamps to the van’s rain gutters using the included hardware and is removable for seasonal use or vehicle sale. Basic hand tools are typically all that’s needed and ECOTRIC supplies the necessary components. Periodic checks of bolts, clamps and the finish will prolong life and keep the system safe.

• No drilling: clamps onto existing roof gutters with supplied hardware
• Quick removal for storage or when not in use
• Inspect fasteners and straps regularly for safety
• Touch up paint or rust-prone areas if coating is damaged

If you need a no-drill, high-capacity rack with broad width adjustability and a protective powder-coat finish, this kit meets everyday commercial and recreational hauling needs.
