Aluminum Headache Rack with One Door

A Aluminum Headache Rack (also called a cab guard or cab protector) is a sturdy metal frame mounted behind the cab of a semi truck, primarily on flatbed trailers. Its main purpose is to protect the rear cab window and driver from shifting or flying cargo during sudden stops or accidents—hence the name “headache” rack, as it prevents serious injuries.

Beyond safety, modern headache racks often include practical features like chain hangers, toolboxes, storage trays, and lights for better organization and visibility.
