"We think we offer the world's most versatile racks for ATV's. They're available in a variety of styles and are built rugged for heavy duty use," says Keith Mangrum, Fairview, Tenn., who operates a website called www.packratracks.com.
    The ATV racks are made from 11 and 14-ga. powder coated steel and hook up to either the receiver hitch or ball hitch on any ATV. A wheel can be attached on back of the rack to support more weight. On many models the rack is hinged, allowing it to be folded up out of the way when not in use.
    "I look at our rack as a wagon that you don't have to go and get, because it's always with you," says Mangrum. "All our racks are designed to go on back of the ATV, although we can custom build front racks to order. All racks mount directly to the ATV so there's no hitch, which makes backing up an easy job. The racks have a low profile so you can stack a lot of stuff on them. I recommend using a wheel when hauling loads over 100 lbs. The basic rack is rated at 200 lbs. when equipped with a wheel, but I've carried over 500 lbs. with no problem. I've even used our rack to haul a freezer out of my basement, and to haul concrete statues and even a picnic table."
    One rack called the "farmer's edition" can be used to haul hay, feed, fencing materials, etc. The bed is supported by a pair of wheels. Other racks are designed for duck hunters, woodsmen, campers, and dogs.
    A new drop basket can be tied to the top of the rack to provide more payload for loose materials. "Hunters use the drop basket for hauling clothes, boots, and other gear into the woods. The drop basket can be turned to face the driver or the bed," says Mangrum.
    The drop basket sells for $156 plus S&H. Drop basket hangers sell for $19.95.
    Accessories include a ball attachment with bed support, deer hunter's tree stand hanger, canvas liner, barbed wire dispenser, deer hoist, 25-lb. counter weights, bed hitch pin, and 200-lb. wheel assembly.
