    If you've ever seen a RACKandROLL trailer out on the road, you know you want one. With a sleek, corrosion resistant aluminum frame, alloy wheels, and impressive motorcycle suspension, what's not to love? Not to mention all the benefits of a roof rack with virtually none of the lifting! These trailers have always been of the highest quality, and with Yakima's recent acquisition of RACKandROLL™, LLC (www.rackandroll.com), things can only get better.
The RACKandROLL trailer stores easily just about anywhere.    Reinforcing their commitment to enable more consumers to experience the Yakima brand of innovative cargo management solutions, Yakima Products Inc. announced January 19th their acquisition of RACKandROLL™, LLC, a manufacturer of high performance multi-sport trailers based in Frederick, Maryland. Appealing to multi-sport outdoor enthusiasts, paddlers, cyclists and family campers, Yakima RACKandROLL™ trailers and accessories will enable consumers to apply Yakima’s broad line of top of car gear management solutions for transporting kayaks, bikes, camping equipment and other cargo to high performance multi-sport trailers. With the addition of trailers to its existing line of premium cargo management equipment offerings, Yakima provides consumers with the most innovative, smart choices for carrying their outdoor gear. The trailers, branded Yakima RACKandROLL, will be sold through RACKandROLL’s existing distribution and current Yakima dealers effective immediately.

Full locking security, a carrying handle, what doesn't this trailer have?

    "We continually strive to bring the smartest cargo management solutions to market to meet the needs of paddlers, cyclists, campers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking the easiest ways to transport their gear," said Jerry Heinlen, CEO of Yakima. "RACKandROLL trailers are an excellent fit with the Yakima brand, our consumers, our customers, and our business model. Adding RACKandROLL to our Yakima family enables us to immediately provide more solutions to every consumer segment we serve... A lightweight trailer big enough to carry all your gear.Significant synergies in manufacturing and distribution between RACKandROLL trailers and current Yakima product offerings will allow us to integrate this new business quickly. Most important, the new Yakima RACKandROLL line of trailers clearly supports Yakima’s position as the premium brand in the cargo management equipment category and gives our customers and business partners new ways to grow their business in 2009 and beyond."
    Here at the Rack Warehouse, we believe RACKand ROLL's customer service will rise to even greater heights under Yakima's care. With Yakima's extensive experience in the manufacture and distribution of high quality gear management systems, we expect fewer shipping delays and greater product availability on RACKandROLL trailers and accessories than ever before.
