Construction & Design:

The Westin White Headache Rack is built from heavy-duty steel with a durable white powder-coated finish that resists rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh environments.

The welded tie-down hooks are robust and positioned for optimal load securing, making it easier to transport ladders, pipes, or other cargo safely.
