I have used the trimmer trap racks and they work well. I switched to a traimmer rack and a blower and water rack from a company called Gridiorn (I think). They are the best -- easy to adjust to my equipment (echo) and hold things tight. I would recommend.

Ask your dealer if he can get you a trimmer trap
We have one on each of our trailers that hold three each.
You also can get one for a backpack blower.

we use trimmer trap as well. It fits any brand.

You could also try Jungle Jim's or Green Touch.

I make all of my racks except for trimmer. Trimmer trap has such a good one and it would be hard to copy. They are real handy.

Jungle Jims trimmer racks are hard on the echo handles ,and there Backpack blower rack is a far cry from perfection , Trimmer trap makes the best in my opinion ,I had them on my trailer that got stolen and in a moment of haste I went with Jungle Jim -to my regret:( :(

I would have to agree with most of what has been said above. I have used both trimmertrap and green touch ( which is available at Lesco).

Trimmer trap is the quickest to use and I like the fact that it mounts at two points.

Green Touch is a little more theft resitant.

Good luck!

I have a trimmer trap rack on my trailer. I am very happy with it. It is very easy to use and to lock up at the end of the day. Definitely worth the money.

I am also going to put in a vote for TrimmerTrap. They are the QUICKEST and EASIEST to use, and one padlock (if you even lock them) will lock all 3 at once. All brands will tend to chew up the hand grips, just the nature of the beast. It is still a LOT better than them rolling around in the back of your pickup! Any trimmer racks with individual pins, clips, and lanyards is just simply taking up too much of your time.

They are available in Northern Catalogs, but make sure you get the 3 trimmer rack, not the 2. The 2 trimmer rack is built of thinner metal.

I just got mine from Preco, holds 3 trimmers locks with 1 padlock. Only thing is I think there a little on the light side, will find out next summer, how they handle the shaking and rough roads we have in Mich. $99.95

I've been in this business for almost 13 years and I have been to at least 1 trade show EVERY year and have NEVER seen a trimmer rack that is faster, stronger, or easier to lock and use than the "Grid Iron" trimmer rack system by Novae Corp. I believe they're connected with Husqvarna somehow. After seeing their video (availible on their site at http://www.novaecorp.com/frame.htm ) I bought the 48" posts and 2 trimmer stations. They are absoutely the best. I know of no other system that you can place the trimmer into the rack and secure it WITH ONLY ONE HAND!!! Watch the video and see. You know they have to be good 'cause I spent almost $200 for mine, and feel it was worth every penny!
