Enclosed Trailer equipment racks feature a hook design at the top of the rack that allows them to hang from the metal frame runner at the top of the side walls on the trailer for added strength. They are pre-drilled so that they may be screwed securely to the wall. The unique and durable "Hammered" paint finish will last for many years.

Today, we'll be taking a look at the Rackem Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers, part number RA-16. This rack features a unique and durable hammered paint finish, and it will last for many years. It allows you to securely transport spare tires in your enclosed trailer. You have multiple attachment points. The multiple attachment points allow you to adjust the height of your spare tire or carry an additional tire. Additional holders are sold separately with part number RA-16HST. Now that we've gone over some of the features of the rack, let me show you how to get this installed into your trailer.
As you can see, we've got a nice, large hook here. Typically, for the rounded-top enclosed trailers, that's going to be made to go right over the top edge here into that frame runner or that rail that runs up and down. Now, in our case, we're using a flat-top, so right behind this board, we've got wires that run the length of the trailer, and we certainly wouldn't want these coming over there getting into our wires. Plus, you can see it's not the thickest plywood in the world that they've used, so what we've done, we've taken the 2x6. You can see it here.
We've beveled the back side of it, and that allows for a perfect fit when our rack inaudible 00:01:20 just slid down on top. Let's just take our screws and start putting them in. Please keep in mind the hardware is not provided. We're now going to remove the wing nut from the stud. Slide the spare tire over the bracket. As we do that, we'll want to place our bolt through one of our wheel stud holes.
We can then replace the washer and tighten down the wing nut to hold our spare in place. That will complete today's look at the Rackem Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers, part number RA-16. .

Attached is a set of photos of my new “Rack-Em” interior tire hanger. I bought both the new spare tire and wheel from etrailer and it was SUPER easy on-line. I watched it track on my phone and both items arrived AHEAD of schedule. I installed the hangar and the tire in MINUTES!
Thanks Bros and Sis’s at etrailer, I’m as they say: “Miles Ahead with etrailer!”
It works great
Holding up well, like how solid the construction and design is.
The product was simple to install and seems to be a great fit for my trailer.
Still holding my trailer tire in place
Followed the installation recommended in the etrailer video and it works fine. I would suggest adding some wood blocks on each side of the tire to limit wobble.
This spare tire rack is a great accessory for inside an enclosed cargo trailer. Remember to place this inside near the side walk-in door for easier access to remove when you have a flat. I also found that a 2x4 mounted on each side of the tire keeps the tire from wobbling and keeps the tire stable. I would recommend this to anyone to get the spare tire up and out of the way but easy and quick to get when you need it.
This works great. My only complaint is that I wish the etrack went even higher (or the install bracket was shorter), I would like to get the tire as close to the ceiling of my trailer as possible.
First the service - - prompt, very well packaged, arrived faster than I expected. Now the products - - tires and wheels look fine and installed correctly - -I will update on how they do on and off the highway. Spare tire rack was EZ to install in the enclosed trailer. Great experience with etrailer!
Very well constructed mounted it on 2x6 cut 45° 3inch wide. Also watched your video.
Does exactly what you'd expect. Ordered 2, 1 for trailer spare and 1 for UTV spare. Took a little adjusting to get it to work correctly with the UTV spare but it's not the intended purpose so no complaints. The wingnut is a little clunky because of the angle of attack but it just has to hold it back from bouncing off, so again, no complaints.
Very impressed with the quality of the RA 16 spare tire holder. Installed fairly easy requiring some addition wooden panels to shim up the walls to ensure a flat fit against the wall. Would have been nice to have included at least some 1 inch self tapping screws for installation. Would recommend the product to my friends.
Gosh it's great. Mounts perfect, and have zero trouble with it. Looks great in my trailer. I recommend it to all. Everybody that sees it, just love it, and the way I mounted it. 6 stars from me. I'll have to send a picture from my I phone.
Looks like it will be very useful for a spare wheel which now just lies on the floor of the trailer getting in the way.
Will install later this spring.
Installed the RA-16 Rack in my trailer and stowed the spare wheel assy. on the new rack. Excellent product, well made and easy to install using the helpful interior trailer photo found on the website. Thanks.
Quick shipment, easy to install and good quality. Inside enclosed trailer spare tire storage.
Does a good job of keeping my harley in place and scratch free and has done well on rescue missions for other bikes no signs of wear or fraying after a year
Just as listed, very nice well made item. very fast shipping and very well packed. will order any other needs from etrailer.com
Works great. Very easy to install. And etrailer is very very fast with shipping. Thank you!
Great product can't wait to install it in my enclosed haulmark 6 by 12 trailer great price
