About I.T.S.T
Series Gussets and Brackets
I.T.S. (Integrated
Tie-Down System) is the term used to describe a series of
ladder racks, for both pick-up trucks and vans, that will
accept Work WinchesT as an integral part of the system.
I.T.S. Gussets (pick-ups) and Brackets (vans) have a dual
function:1. They perform their usual structural purpose
as part of the ladder rack in pick-ups and vans.2. They
also form the stationary framework for the moving parts
of the Work Winch tie-down system. The dual function of
I.T.S. Gussets and Brackets allows us to make an extremely
high quality, rust-free tie-down system at a very reasonable
cost. The stationary framework for the winch already exists
on all I.T.S. racks. The Work Winch assembly is simply "plugged
in". The size and relationship of the bore for the bearing
and winch shaft, and the hole for the stainless pivot pin
are exactly the same in pick-ups and vans. This continuity
in design means that the identical winch assembly can be
used in both van and pick-up racks. When I.T.S. Gussets
are used in pick-up trucks, they perform 2 additional functions:
1. They transform a standard Contractor RigŪ (1000 lb. capacity)
to a heavy duty Contractor Rig (1250 lb. capacity) 2. They
allow top side and low side tool boxes to be mounted to
them, eliminating the need for installing legs and obstructing
the floor of the bed. The I.T.S. Series is available for
van racks and for pick-up trucks. |
