Can this clamp hold down a truck rack?

Haven't used them for anything other than a truck cap, can't give an answer.

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.

I would say they are strong enough to hold a camper shell, but not strong enough to hold a ladder or lumber rack.

No idea. I used it to extend a hitch for a bike rack, and it seems to sway more than I would expect. Not so sure it would work for your purposes.

Screw in hitch pin works for tightening rack.It won't move and stay tight and firm.It works pretty well.

The clamps will attach around the bedliner with no problem, I have a bedliner on my truck also...

It is a little bit heavy, otherwise I don,t see why not. The clamp can be at most 2.5 inch open.

Yes. I have three of these and the clamps have been very durable and sturdy.

It's meant to clamp on to your existing roof rack. I had a Yakima rack (2 bars going across) and this attached easily to it. It is of high quality, very sturdy. I'm very happy with it. You'd have to ask someone else though about it working with yours.Jeff H

The clamp is about 2-inch in height. If your seatpost has less than 3-inch exposed then it wouldn't be suitable. You should also consider if the rear wheel might get in the way of the rack if seatpost is raised very low.

It will kind of work. I use the shot clamp and add additional safety by hooking over the top bar with a bungee cord. There are some hole in the rack frame that perfectly accommodate this.

I have the Swagman rack also and it works great. The only caution on a truck or car is the amount of wind it is subjected to. On a motor home there is less wind due to the flat back.

I have mountain bikes in my rack and no problem with it holding those tires. Looks like it can handle tires up to 31/4 inches wide. If your tires are bigger then that, it might not work for you.

Absolutely. The clamp itself is square (made of two right angles) and I think the screws are long enough to accept up to 1-1/4" or 1-1/2". Mine is a 1/2" square pole and it clamps all the way down, so you can't really go thinner than that unless you use shims and thats probably not a good idea, anyway. Actually It will work on any shape up to (and maybe even a bit over) 1" in diameter as the clamps are self-centering.

I found this to be true. The fix is to use a hex wrench to over tightening the quick release which makes it useless but the rack won't sway.

I don't think so because it is threaded. Unless your hitch rack is threaded...

There is a hold-down bar that allows stock up to 4.5" wide. However, this piece can be removed and stock clamped down allowing up to 6.5" of workable surfaces. You would have to devise sides from 2X6's or equivalent with your clamps but should not be difficult.
