{"title":"HEADACHE RACKS","description":"\u003cp\u003eA headache rack does two jobs at once. It puts a barrier between your load and the back of the cab, and it gives chains, binders and dunnage somewhere to live instead of the deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe stock two, both 68 x 80 aluminum, both fitting sleeper and day cab. The difference is what you need to store. The open rack carries 28 chains across two hangers plus a full-width dunnage tray, and it weighs 160 lbs. The diamond plate model adds a lockable Mini-Vault tool box with three interior shelves, holds 24 chains, and runs 220 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAluminum on both, and that is the reason to buy either one. It does not rust the way bare steel does under road salt, and the weight you save is weight you can haul. Both need 22\" of catwalk clearance and mount without welding, using a U-bolt kit sized to your frame rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeadache racks are not front-end protection devices and do not meet FMCSA\/DOT CFR 393.114a. Secure every load per CFR 393.100-393.132 regardless of what sits behind the cab. Install on trucks only, not on trailers.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cab-rack-w-2-chain-hanger-full-tray-68-x-80","title":"Headache Rack for Semi Truck — Aluminum, Chain Hangers \u0026 Tray, 68x80","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CARGO CONTROL CENTER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44452720935159,"sku":"CR6880-CHFT-CC","price":1395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/0246\/3479\/files\/DCCC4F2B-E0E1-4AA7-B3D7-03757FA55419.webp?v=1784553531"},{"product_id":"headache-rack-with-tool-box-semi-truck-68x80","title":"Headache Rack with Tool Box for Semi Truck — Diamond Plate Aluminum, 68\" x 80\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilt from 5000 series 1\/8\" diamond plate aluminum, this headache rack mounts behind the cab on sleeper and day cab semi trucks.
