bed rack

A bed rack is usually a set of steel or aluminum bars secured to the body of a truck bed. Due to the tall tubes, aka legs, the bed rack is usually higher than the bed itself so that it does not limit inner bed cargo space. Such construction allows it to increase the load and storage capacity of the truck. Usually, a bed rack is used to transport different cargo types, such as baggage, kayaks, bikes, tools, surfboards, snowboards, tourist gear, and so on.
The accessory's primary use lies in the fact that it does not limit interior storage. At the same time, it allows the vehicle to transport an object that potentially is bigger than its trunk.
