Vegas Teacher Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hey the new Raney's truck catalog is out. I got mine last night along with my new Harbor Frieght spring catalog. I was flipping througy Raney's and came across something that was called a head ache rack, what do truckers use this for? I know I don't need one but I was just currious and currious about how it got the name? Have a great weekend! Later, Vegas Teacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch_12078 Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 A headache rack is used to prevent cargo like poles, pipes, logs, steel, etc, from intruding into the cab in the event of an accident. They're primarily used with flat bed trailers, log haulers, etc. The primary goal being to keep the driver's head on his shoulders makes the name pretty much self explanatory.

HERO Maker Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Of course, like always, a better name for it would be " Headache Prevention Rack"! Rocky & Sheri Rhoades '01 Volvo 770 2016 DRV Mobile Suites, HoustonHERO Makers Ministry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I knew it had to be something simple but I didn't know what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
