What Are the Benefits of Cab Racks?

  • For truck drivers. Cab racks may come with toolboxes, chain trays, and hangers, shelves, and enclosures to give truckers secure, organized storage areas for cargo straps, coil racks, tools, and personal items. With such storage solutions, drivers gain peace of mind knowing they have all the items they need to endure long hours on the road and complete all their tasks within the schedule.
  • For truck owners. Semi-trucks, including those 18-wheeler trucks, have a long flatbed for cargo. But even with all that space, these trucks don’t usually have enough area to keep and organize important tools and other items. This is where headache racks come in. They offer a space-saving storage solution for various items and accessories. They’re also a cost-effective option as they are quick, easy, and affordable to install. They can be customized to suit specific needs, too.
  • For parts managers. Cab racks are a great addition to any semi-truck, giving parts managers a unique advantage when closing a truck sale or offering a service to semi-truck drivers and owners. These products are often available in various styles, models, and sizes. Parts managers can impress customers with a lot of options. They just need to partner with a reliable aluminum headache or cab rack supplier, so they can focus on sales rather than hunting for parts each time a client needs a storage solution.

What’s the Merritt Advantage?

  • Legendary toughness. We use high-grade aluminum alloy and advanced engineering processes to manufacture cab racks that are lightweight yet durable.
  • Visually appealing products. Often referred to as “truck jewelry,” our cab racks are finished in a smooth or diamond plate, adding a grand, refined look to any semi-truck. Our products may also come with LED lights, three-door enclosures, and short foot for increased clearance.
  • National reach. We have representatives and fully stocked warehouses across the US. This allows us to ship your orders anywhere in the country within a few days and without any hassle.
