Frequently Asked Questions

+ What is the main advantage of the "No Drill / No Slide" (NDNS) feature?

The ACS FORGED bed rack boasts impressive load capacities: 400 lbs Off-Road Dynamic, 800 lbs On-Road Dynamic, and 1400 lbs Parked Static Weight Capacity. This robust capability ensures you can confidently carry heavy gear, rooftop tents, and more for any adventure or work requirement.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
