A Good Reason To Have A Headache Rack

From the origins of the trucking industry where the bulkhead of a trailer was always

in the way for connecting and securing, the driver was often amiss in striking their head on all of the chains and tools that were stored there and would end up with a headache as a result. Hence the term "headache rack" was coined and is still in use today for flatbed trucks and private vehicles as well.

Since those times, the term has been adapted to include the nice additions to pickup trucks, which is mounted at the front end of the truck bed, right behind the truck cab. Do not misunderstand, these units are still in use by both the trucking industry flatbed divisions, as well as being used on private owner pickup trucks.

Custom racks are made for both industrial use and private passenger pickup trucks, however you should consider some points before ordering. The type of material is very important if you don't want a heavy load to end up in the seat beside you. This is the time to buy quality, not just purchasing some that looks good.

The best construction materials for making these load securing devices is tubular steel, bar steel and plate steel. When securing any load you want to know that it will hold up under the stress, and anything thinner than these will not be satisfactory. Making sure there is enough strength to hold things in place can save the rear window from being shattered by a run away load.

Mounting KC lights to your rack is another very useful applications of these securing devices, where the lights can improve your visibility when needed. And if you are in need of a good pickup truck toolbox, these racks make a great place to help make sure the box is secure.

Many people like the looks of chrome, and it is a nice choice, but one must consider the long term in addition to the appearance. Painted racks can be styled with any custom paint job even though it chips and peels more easily. Powder coating is the most durable and long lasting finish if you want it to with stand time and weather conditions.

There quite a few accessories to go along with purchasing your rack and include antenna mounts for the CB radio. There is a long bar for mounting lights, and various mountings for different utility needs in securing loads, as well as hunting and fishing accessories. Making local hauls in your pickup truck will be much easier with additional features offered by some of these accessories.

Whether you are a sportsperson or fleet manager, or just want these for recreational purposes, you can have your own variations of headache racks custom built just for you and your particular specifications. These are not just for making a truck look prettier, they can actually help you with many chores while protecting your vehicle from unforeseen mishaps.
