Raptor Recovery Side Mount Bracket With Shovel Holder

Q: Will these brackets fit my specific roof rack?
A: These are designed as a universal side-mount solution. They bolt directly into the side profile of most major slat-style racks (like Rhino-Rack Pioneer or Yakima) and can be adapted to most custom canopy tracks or T-slot systems.

Q: Will these work with boards other than the Raptor brand?
A: Yes. The adjustable base plate accommodates hole spacings from 11cm to 19cm, which fits most major brands, including MAXTRAX and TRED.

Q: Can I lock my gear to these brackets?
A: Yes. The mounting pins feature a hole at the top designed to fit a long-shackle padlock. This allows you to secure both your recovery boards and your shovel at the same time.

Q: Do I need to drill into my rack?
A: If your rack has side T-slots or existing M10 holes, this is a 100% bolt-on installation. For flat surfaces or custom trays without side channels, some drilling may be required.

Q: Will the shovel rattle while I am driving?
A: No. The brackets feature a snug-fit cradle design. If your shovel handle is particularly thin, we recommend a small rubber wrap at the contact point for a silent, rattle-free ride.
