Headache Rack for Semi Truck — Aluminum, Chain Hangers & Tray, 68in x 80in

Built from high-strength aluminum alloy with I-beam upright posts, this headache rack mounts behind the cab on sleeper and day cab semi trucks, giving the driver a dedicated spot to store chain and binders instead of piling them on the deck. Chain hangers on both sides hold up to 14 tie-down chains or binders each, 28 total, so a full set of flatbed hardware has a home instead of rattling around in the sleeper.

A full-width tray across the back doubles as a dunnage carrier for extra flatbed gear, boards, or spare tie-down equipment. Installation requires 22" of catwalk clearance behind the cab. Drivers can self-install with basic hand tools in an afternoon, or use the Cab Rack Installation Kit (sold separately, U-bolt mount) for a faster job. At 160 lbs, this rack skips the tool box in favor of open chain and tray storage, lighter and less expensive than our tool box model for drivers who already have somewhere else to keep tools. If you are shopping for a flat or open headache rack for a semi, this is that style: chain hangers on both sides and a full-width tray, with no enclosed box.
