Description
System One Modular Truck Equipment has developed into the company that it is today very differently from the way most other manufacturing companies begin. For many years, we were roofing and sheet metal contractors. We learned early on that the efficiency of our entire company depended on how good we could become at working out of pick-up trucks. So, it is certainly true that our ladder rack design grew more from a need to be functional and practical than any other reason. It was with this idea in the late 80's, combined with a lot of hard work, determination and 20 patents, that our ladder racks have evolved to the level they are today.
Trucks and ladder racks had always been the nucleus of our company's equipment. All equipment and materials we moved relied completely on them. When we researched ladder racks to buy for our company trucks we were unable to find an acceptable rack, no matter how much we were willing to spend. The terms "heavy duty construction" and "fully welded steel" were merely marketing ploys. The products being sold were a poor excuse for heavy duty ladder racks. We did what so many other contractors are forced to do - we made our own. The racks for our company started out as steel and they were indeed heavy duty. We made one rack at a time for each truck, and always kept them painted because any steel structure with ladders and construction materials being dragged on and off of them soon starts leaching rust. We were always known for top quality equipment and we had built many specialized trucks. It seemed as though we were as much in the truck equipment business as the contracting business. A scissor lift/dump body truck, two boom trucks, a roll-former truck and a full complement of a dozen pick-up trucks made up our fleet. We felt our operation was first rate and that our equipment had evolved to the highest level. But after a few years, our stake pocket-mounted steel racks would start to break through the floors of the pockets. We welded flanges to the legs to spread the weight onto the bed rail. That worked fine at first, but the metal of the bed rail on our late model trucks cracked and split in the stake pocket area. The idea of a full-length bedrail grew out of this problem.
The first ladder rack we built using our new design incorporated a steel bed rail which totally stopped the cracking problem around the stake pocket holes. This worked so well that we built the next rack entirely of aluminum. We were not designing extrusions yet; instead we formed the shapes from 3/16" 5052 aluminum alloy sheet stock. The cross section of the legs was so large that they were totally rigid even without a top front-to-back member. We now call this configuration our "Utility Rig". It was extremely light, absolutely rigid, fork lift loadable, and, most importantly, it didn't need paint. This rack received such wide local acclaim that the idea of actually building similar racks for sale seemed like a possibility. Since our strong point had always been in metalworking, we decided to design a rack that would address the problems that we and, we hoped, other contractors had encountered.
