CargoBuckle Ladder Rack System – 1.25" Square × 7' (Pair) – Model F18816

The CargoBuckle Ladder Rack System (F18816) is a heavy-duty, permanent tie-down solution specifically designed for utility racks and ladder racks. Sold as a pair, this system integrates the world-class G3 retractable ratchet technology into a specialized mounting bracket that fits 1.25" square tubing.

Secure Ladders and Lumber in Seconds

This system eliminates the dangerous and time-consuming process of using bungee cords or loose cam straps to secure overhead loads. With the CargoBuckle permanently mounted to your rack, you simply pull the strap over your ladder or lumber, hook it to the rack, and ratchet it tight.

Installation Pro-Tip:

When mounting the F18816 to your rack, position the units so that the strap pulls down and slightly inward toward the center of the rack. This creates a "clamping" effect that prevents the ladder from shifting side-to-side during sharp turns or sudden stops. Periodic lubrication of the ratchet pivot points with a dry silicone spray will keep the retraction smooth in dusty or salty environments.
