This product is only intended for, and only safe for, transporting ladders, lumber,
pipe and other similar materials. It is the responsibility of the user to secure these
materials to the rack before transporting. Any modifications made to this product,
or use of this product for any other purpose than its intended use, could create a
hazardous condition that can cause serious personal injury or property damage.
Ladders must be secured per ANSI standard A142.2-1990 paragraph 8.4.4. Ladder
damage will occur from road shock and vehicle vibration if the ladder is not properly
secured to the ladder rack. Bouncing and side to side motion of a improperly

could lead to a structural collapse and could result in a serious injury or death.
