Do I need four of these or eight of these to hold down TMS PICK-UP-RACK 650-Pound Adjustable Universal Fit 2 Bars Utility Ladder Truck Pick Up Rack

I would use eight of them. I bought four, and though they held, I was much more secure when I bought an additional four and added them. They just do not cost that much for the peace of mind. Hope that helps.

I used these for a camper shell. They appear strong and attractive but I used 8 just to play it safe on a heavy fiberglass shell for an 8 foot bed. Perhaps caution is the better approach vs. risking a dump?

That is completely up to you. With a minimum purchase, yes the 4 screws would hold the entire weight of the contents. The screws should be able to support the weight, but they may be difficult to position in order to tighten them. I bought a set of rails for the bottom case of my rack. Another option would to be to install the case in your rack empty, and then add the contents. That postpones any problems until you need to service anything inside. If you do buy the rails, the bottom machine can support the next machine until you get those screws tightened.

I used one clamp on each side of my ladder rack and would periodically tighten them (about once a month). It held just fine with 3 ladders on the truck and i could remove them with relative ease.

The specifications for this hitch state "35 lbs per bike". 4 bikes @ 80 lbs each would more than double the recommended weight-load. However, I frequently load my Swagman with (2) Mountain bikes and (2) Cruisers which are over the "35 lbs" limit and it has held up nicely. Not sure you would be able to load 4 bikes @ 80 lbs, though.

I'm guessing about 50 (with skinny hangers); you can order a second bar for a lower rack.

I don't think so. Malone racks come with a slot that accepts the hook on load assist.

The bars are strong enough to hold whatever is the load limit of your roof/roof rack, which typicaly is posted somewhere on the roof rack.

Not familiar with your pull-up bar, but I have attached these to a pull-up bar on my squat rack. Functionally they work, BUT they do drop you 7-8 inches lower, so you may need to lift your legs to clear the floor.

More like these are useless WITH four. For one-man loading and unloading you'll want 1 pair of these (as they are sold) and 1 pair of the HullyRollers. This allows you to get your kayak on and off without any assistance. And in fact if you look at the example picture on the HullyRollers page you'll see exactly the setup I've just described. A little research would've saved you some frustration during purchase and annoyance on other shoppers' part to decipher your complaint.

My rack came with 6 hooks. I had to order extra hooks seperately because I needed more than 6.

Yeah! The previous answer was right, I only needed two because of the wheels, but if all of them are basic feet, I would probably get four if you needed them. If you don't, you can always keep two as a spare. :)

Do you already have cross bars? If so then yes, this will mount right to them with no additional items needing to be purchased. If you do not have cross bars then you will need to buy those. The prior answer stating you will need a rivet gun may be in regards to hard mounting the rack to your roof. This will easily hold 3 pairs of skis. In fact it can hold 4 pairs. I absolutely love this rack and would recommend it.

Not really necessary as long as the dock wood/surface is secure and the supplied ladder loops are screwed in securely. I am 250 plus and no issues. Well made product.

With a package of 8 you can put up two shelves, there are always 4 bars so you need 4 per shelf unless you have something NEW in a triangular shape.

Not really. You could rest them on the bar at the top, stabilizing the item(s) while you descend or mount. I usu have someone hand me heavy items once I am up on the ladder or hand things down to someone.

This is the adapter to hold the bike rack. Your 2, 3 or 4 bike rack goes into it. It is solidly made with heavy duty steel plates top and bottom and should be able to hold any number of bikes.

One pair is all that's needed. They "insert" into the proper Malone J cradles made to accommodate the Load Assist units. They then are removed and can be inserted into additional J cradles to load up more kayaks . I have seldom been as enthusiastic over a product as I am these units!
