What is a Headache Rack for Semi Trucks?
A headache rack for a semi-truck, also known as a cab guard, is a protective barrier installed behind the cab of the truck, typically in the form of a metal frame or grille made of aluminum or steel. Its primary purpose is to protect the truck’s cab and its occupants from shifting cargo in the event of a sudden stop or collision. The name “headache rack” comes from its ability to prevent cargo from intruding into the cab and causing injury to the driver or passengers. The cab guard also provides a mounting point for additional lights, flags, cabinets, tool boxes, and other accessories.
Built with high grade aluminum or stainless steel as an option, the rugged Peerless design has been tested onsite under its full rated cargo capacity of 56,380 KG by our product experts. With decades of industry experience, our semi truck cab guards will give you peace of mind knowing you have a Peerless cabguard between you and the load.
Peerless offers Shortwood Cabguards; Pole Trailer Cabguards; Vancouver Island Cabguards (water cooled brakes, and over-the-cab protectors); Highway Cabguards, plus a variety of custom semi cab guard models and options.
Peerless semi headache racks have been designed and tested in accordance with WorkSafeBC Forestry Operations Regulation section 26.65 and British Columbia Motor Vehicle Act Regulations (BC MVR) section 35.07.
