HMOR also offers a Universal Fit ROCK-IT Rack. Available rack heights, bed-length configurations, and mounting options vary by vehicle application. Compatible integrated T-slot bed-cover mounting is available on supported applications, including verified Retrax XR and Roll-N-Lock XT systems.
Various mounting styles are available, too, including applications with a mounting track, without a mounting track, a utili-track, and with varying bed covers, like Roll ‘N Lock and Retrax. Best part is – all options offer no-modification installation!
Let’s dive into the Heavy Metal Off-Road bed rack to explore all the features and benefits provided to you…
First and foremost, these bed racks offer an adaptable load capacity to meet your needs. With 1500-pound static and dynamic load ratings (the best in the industry!), you can bring a lot of gear on your trips. Better still, these racks seamlessly integrate with your truck, ensuring the most functionality while also looking dang good!
These racks are also built for hard work. They’re reinforced to ensure durability for long-term usage, and the high-quality welds make these racks virtually indestructible. Of course, the excellent craftsmanship enhances the rack’s ability to handle a heavy load.
You’ll find military-style MOLLE panels at the ready for securing shovels, RotoPax, and other necessities within easy reach. And with the ability to directly mount accessories to the rack, you can quickly and easily add your own gear – from lights to awnings to a rooftop tent – without the need for additional brackets.
There are also ROCK-IT accessories available for the racks. For example, you can add a ROCK-IT winch mount to your rack to make the process of loading dirt bikes, ATVs, or hunted game a breeze. Alternatively, you could add an HMOR ROCK-IT bike mount to easily transport your mountain bike to the trailhead. Or, my personal favorite, the HMOR ROCK-IT grab bars (shown above), give you the ability to get into the bed of your truck with much less effort (which I appreciate much more now that I’m 50!).
Other key features include the following:
- Built-in cable management system with hidden chase holes to keep the wiring hidden from the front of the rack to the back.
- Compatibility with different models of bed covers to ensure the bed cover remains available for use.
- Accessory slots for custom mods and HMOR products.
- Future-proof design so you can continue using the bed rack for years and years to come.
Additionally, these bed racks come with everything you need for installation. This includes the pillars, cross bars, and side bars, as well as the MOLLE panels, runners, and mounting hardware.
It’s easy to see why these steel powder-coated, made-in-the-USA bed racks are a top choice. They’re impeccably designed, beautifully built, and offer all the functionality and utility you could ever need. That’s why the ROCK-IT rack system was the 2023 winner of the prestigious SEMA 35Under35 Innovation Award!
When you invest in a bed rack, you want something that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Well, you’ll find that’s the case when you purchase a Heavy Metal Off-Road ROCK-IT rack!
