Cargo & Racks

Headache Racks

A headache rack sits behind the cab and does two jobs at once: it shields the back of your head and the cab from a shifting load, and it gives you a tall, solid surface for lights, a winch, and gear. We carry 10 headache racks, several of which build in a winch and LED work lighting, all fit to a specific machine. Polaris Ranger and General owners have the strongest coverage, with CF Moto U10, Can-Am Defender, and Bobcat UV34 options too. Do you want a plain rack that protects the cab and carries your load, or a winch build that turns the back of the cab into a recovery station? Both do the job; the winch build just adds self-recovery.

Plain rack, or headache rack with a winch

The split comes down to whether you want lighting and recovery built in:

  • Rack only. A clean headache rack for load protection and a mounting surface. Lighter, less to wire.
  • Headache rack with winch. Several models, including the Polaris General Headache Rack, offer an optional 2,000 lb winch, a pulley block, and synthetic rope for a full recovery setup off the back of the cab.
  • SidePuller side-pull winching. Razorback designed the Polaris Ranger XP SidePuller Winch Rack for a true 180-degree pulling angle, so you can winch from the side, not just straight back. Its build includes two wireless remotes and two 60W LED lights with all wiring and hardware.

Read each product's notes before ordering. Some machines, like Ranger Trail Boss trims with a rear cab light, need that light removed for the rack to fit.

What fits your Polaris Ranger and General

The strongest coverage is model-specific. For the Ranger, the SidePuller Winch Rack and the Ranger XD 1500 SidePuller are both here, and both cross-link to the Polaris Ranger hub. For the General, the Polaris General Headache Rack and the General SidePuller Winch Rack are cross-linked from the Polaris General hub. CF Moto U10 riders get both a standard headache rack and a SidePuller winch version. Confirm your year and trim on the fitment chart, then decide rack-only or winch. Full category sits under UTV cargo racks.

From MaxtOffroad

Picture getting hung up sideways on a rutted line, where a straight-back winch does you no good. That is the case the Polaris Ranger XP SidePuller Winch Rack was built for: Razorback engineered it for a true 180-degree pulling angle, so you can recover from the side, paired with a 2,000 lb winch, two wireless remotes, and two 60W LED lights wired in. One bolt-on frame gives you a headache rack, work lighting, and a side-pulling recovery tool, which is exactly the kind of do-more part we want behind the cab.
