Ute Tub Racks & Ladder Racks

Ute Tub Racks & Ladder Racks

Carry ladders, pipes, timber and other long gear above the ute tub with a tub rack or ladder rack from UniUte. Our range includes universal ladder racks, multifunction tub racks, roll-bar rack systems and selected rack options designed for use with compatible tub-cover setups.

Because ute tubs, rails and covers vary considerably between vehicles, check the individual product page carefully before ordering.

Racks for Work, Touring & Everyday Use

A tub rack creates an elevated carrying area while leaving useful space inside the tub for tools, equipment or other cargo. This makes tub and ladder racks particularly useful for tradespeople as well as touring setups carrying long or bulky equipment.

The type of rack you need depends on the vehicle, tub dimensions, mounting points and any existing accessories.

Check Compatibility Before You Buy

Before choosing a tub rack, check the mounting method, required tub dimensions and clearance around accessories such as roller shutters, tonneau covers, sports bars and canopies.

Do not assume that every rack fits every ute or that every installation is drill-free. Load ratings also vary between products. Follow the limits stated for the specific rack and vehicle, using the lowest-rated component as the maximum allowable load.

Tub Rack or Roof Rack?

A tub rack positions the load above the tray, while a roof rack uses the cab or vehicle roof. For roof-mounted carrying options, browse our Ute Roof Racks & Cross Bars.

Australia-Wide Delivery

UniUte delivers ute racks across Australia and provides fitment advice from our Moorabbin workshop. If you're unsure whether a rack works with your ute or existing tub accessories, contact us before ordering.
