About

Built for the Outdoors, Designed for Life

At RecShaw, we believe that the best innovations come from real-world needs. Whether it's hauling kayaks to the river, securing tools for a job site, or ensuring pets travel safely on overland adventures, our cargo rack systems are designed to do more—because we needed them to. When the market couldn't provide the perfect solution, we built one ourselves. .

As an outdoor enthusiast, mountain bike racer, and the husband of a dedicated German Shepherd breeder, I needed a cargo solution that could handle everything life threw at it. The existing racks on the market just didn't cut it—not for my gear, not for our dogs, and not for the rugged demands of everyday adventure. So, with over 40 years of engineering and manufacturing experience, including time at Walt Disney lmagineering and leading operations for BEDSLIDE, I set out to create something better.

The result? RecRac, a modular, adaptable cargo rack system built to stand up to real-world challenges. After three years of on- and off-road testing across the Pacific Northwest, California, Texas, and middle America, we knew we had a game-changer. And now, we're ready to take it to the next level—your vehicle.

RecRac isn't just a product; it's a philosophy—where smart engineering meets outdoor adventure. Our approach is simple:

Identify real-world cargo challenges.
Design innovative solutions that adapt to the user.
Manufacture with the highest quality materials, all sourced and built in the USA.

Capitalizing on 30 years of manufacturing/experience, and a passion for the outdoors, we take pride in continuous improvement. Our founder is a certified Lean Manufacturing Black Belt, ensuring that every design is as efficient, durable, and user-friendly as possible.
