FastTrack Ladder Hook holding a step stool and a ladder

One thing I've found about ladder hooks is that a lot of them have quality issues with the rubber or plastic coating. The hooks themselves are usually strong enough, but the coating fails too soon.

The best ladder hook has a long-lasting coating, is deep enough to carry a thick ladder, and has at least a 50 lb. load capacity. The Torak massive heavy-duty hook is exactly this.

Use the Torak to hang up to 300 lb. on the garage wall. But if you have a garage slatwall, then get the right ladder hook for your system. In this article, you'll find the Torak, Proslat, Gladiator, and Rubbermaid ladder hooks.

The Beefiest Garage Wall Ladder Hook

You don't see many garage wall hooks that can carry 300 lb.

And you definitely don't see many ladder hooks wrapped in a heavy-duty rubber coating.

The Torack Heavy Duty Hook is coated in all-weather protective rubber, has a massive 12.4-inch surface area for hanging the ladder, and holds a ridiculous 300 lb. load.

The Torack is the strongest, deepest, and longest-lasting ladder hook I can find.

This massive wall hanger has a thick rubber coating and holds up to 300 lb. The package contains two hooks. If you use only one for the ladder, this design is excellent for hanging brooms, shovels, and rakes.

This Heavy Duty Hook is over a foot deep, and curves upward at the end to cradle the ladder.

This huge surface area distributes the ladder's weight over more area compared to a regular ladder hook.

Buy this massive ladder hook on Amazon.

The hook extends over a foot so it can carry thick tires.

If you already have the Proslat wall system, you know that you can hang your ladder on this wall storage system.

The only question is, which of the Proslat hooks is best for hanging a ladder?

The 8-inch Double Hook is Proslat's best hook for hanging a ladder on the garage wall.

The two prongs carry up to 50 lb. and are coated in rubber. The hook is 8 in. deep to fully seat the entire ladder onto the hook's surface.

 

Proslat Double Hook carries up to 50 lb. Use 2 hooks for 100 lb. capacity.

The Double Hook comes in packs of three, so one package is more than enough to hang one ladder.

Remember, to use this hook, you must have installed the Proslat slatwall.

Once that's screwed into the studs, you can easily move and lock Proslat hooks anywhere on the wall.

Slatwall storage eliminates the need to screw anything in.

The proprietary hooks lock into place wherever you put them. Check out the Proslat wall system in our mega article: What Can I Store On a Proslat Wall System? (with Pictures)

The Best Gladiator Slatwall Ladder Hook

I love the Gladiator slatwall tracks and wall panels because you can store your garage stuff anywhere without pulling out a screwdriver or drill.

The GearTrack is a single row of storage. The GearWall is a panel with four rows of storage.

The Gladiator hooks work equally well with either type.

My favorite Gladiator hook for storing ladders is the Deep Hook.

This hook has a meaty surface, and a solid rubber coating, and the hook holds 50 lb. If your ladder weighs more, use two hooks.

Remember, the Gladiator is a slatwall system like the Proslat.

This means you need Gladiator GearTrack or GearWall to use the Gladiator hooks for ladder storage.

Then you can move the Gladiator hooks anywhere along the channels using a simple release and lock mechanism.

The Best Rubbermaid FastTrack Ladder Hook

The FastTrack Ladder Hook is a beefy 8.8-inch and rubber-coated.

It easily locks into place on the FastTrack channel you have installed in the garage studs.

The hook curves at the end to cradle the ladder.

FastTrack is a very popular garage wall storage system.

It comes in tracks very similar to the Gladiator GearTrack.

Each track is a row of storage.

Use the FastTrack hooks on the track.

As with slatwall, the hooks lock and unlock, so you don't need to pull out the drill to use a garage hook.

The FastTrack Ladder hook has long arms and a curve to hold the ladder in place.

The Best Garage Lights

ByKevin Thompson

I was not on board with this whole LED thing until I did some research. LEDs are brighter and way cheaper than incandescents and fluorescents. I found a highly-rated LED garage lamp that lasts longer and costs less than any old-fashioned type of lighting.

HyKolity offers a 4200-lumen garage light at a reasonable price on Amazon. They use only 42 watts, but they give off the brightness of a 280-watt incandescent bulb. The HyKolity shines at 5,000 K, in the sweet spot color between yellow and blue. See below to calculate how many lights you need for your garage’s dimensions.

Look at the HyKolity garage lamps on Amazon.

10 Multi-Bike Wall Rack Questions to Answer Before Buying

ByKevin Thompson

To get the right bike rack, ask questions such as: “Does the rack hold the right quantity of bikes?” Think about dismounting the bikes: “Is there room to get the bike down from a full rack?” Think about the bike widths: “Are the hooks adjustable so you can move the bikes left to right within the rack space?” Think about the bike tires: “Do you need a rack that can handle fat tires, kids’ bikes, or several heavy bikes?”
