U.S. Rack began, as so many businesses have, in a garage in the Silicon Valley. After taking a large welded rack off his pickup, Chris Green had two problems: (1) a sore back and (2) no place to store the bulky rack. He exclaimed to his wife, Stephanie, “There ought to be a rack that clamps onto a truck and stores easily when you don’t need it.” Out of that insight grew the U.S. Rack business.
Determined to make sure that his designs were sturdy and safe, Chris initially worked with a university engineering department and later with an independent engineering lab to load-test components and products. In 2000, he set up a small shop to manufacture the first production racks and in 2003 built the larger Madera, CA manufacturing plant.
U.S. Rack is still a small business but now manufactures the largest variety of distinct pickup truck rack designs anywhere and leads the market with quality, innovative, multi-functional pickup racks that install quickly with NO DRILLING.
You should strongly consider becoming a U.S. Rack customer if you:
Prefer to talk to a human being when you call for information or help instead of “Press one for English”, and “Our menu has changed”.
Are tired of big retailers whose telemarketers don’t understand the hundreds of products they sell.
Prefer a specialized company who’s “experts” actually understands its products and applications.
Prefer an honest company that stands behind its products and values customer service as much as its customers do.
Prefer to support a true American small business success story rather than a mega-corporation.
