That does look like the early Unirac system, (I don't think they rated it for
140 mph). It wasn't designed to "hit" rafters, that's why there six screws in
each base plate….

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Racking System - Identification Help
Hi all,
Anyone know what this racking system is? The permit drawings say Unirac
with lag screws and Eco-Fasten flashings, which this pretty clearly
isn't. I'd never seen this before, and I imagine this wind resistance is
not quite the 140 mph that the installer claims it is. Of the ~250 wood
screws holding this system down into the roof, I think six of them
accidentally hit rafters.
Thanks!
Dave
