10 Lesser Known Facts about Magnum and Our Headache Racks

Headache Rack 10 Reasons

headache-rack-10-reasons At Magnum, we are truck enthusiasts first and foremost, and manufacturers second. We understand the importance of tricking out your truck because we love our trucks as much as you do. By now, you probably know that we created Magnum to fill a void in the aluminum headache rack industry – where extreme function meets ultimate style. We knew a truck rack could protect your window while also giving your truck a badass look.

So while that part of our story may be obvious, here are 10 lesser-known facts about our headache racks and our company:

1. Magnum has been operating for about 10 years in central Maine.

Starting in a small garage, Magnum eventually grew into the 50,000 square-foot space that we’re now in, located in Waterville, Maine. Being Made in the USA is extremely important to us, and we’re proud to be bringing jobs and commerce to the central Maine community we were founded in.

2. Magnum’s original founder is still with the company.

Bill Cleaves continues as one of the owners of Magnum, responsible for product design and new product development. Staying ahead of the curve is something Bill and the Magnum team have built their reputation on. New products and innovation are the hallmarks of Magnum. Bill and the rest of the team are no strangers to manufacturing. In fact, the leadership team at Magnum has a collective 85 years of founding, developing and working in their manufacturing companies.

We understand that when you buy a Magnum headache rack, it’s an investment that you’re excited to receive as soon as possible. After one of our customers purchases a headache rack, we aim to have it shipped within 1-3 days.

4. We work with dealers across the USA.

Just because we manufacture our products in central Maine doesn’t mean our customers are limited to where they can find our products. We work with dealers all across the United States to ensure our products are in the same areas as our customers. Our list of Magnum dealers is constantly expanding.

We recently completed our redesigned rail kit to compliment the Magnum Racks. This will be introduced on the website in the near future. Our team will continue to look at what our customers are asking for, and where the industry is heading.
