roof racks and platform systems: what to consider

Choose around the vehicle roof rating, rack rating, expected load, mounting system, wind noise, overall height and access. Platforms provide a flexible base for awnings, baskets, recovery boards and work equipment, while crossbars can suit simpler loads. Never assume the rack rating overrides the vehicle manufacturer’s roof-load limit.

Plan the complete vehicle

Map every intended accessory before choosing platform size. An awning, rooftop tent, solar panel, light bar and recovery equipment compete for space and add weight high on the vehicle. Dynamic and static limits may differ, and off-road use can reduce allowable loads. Vehicle-specific product selection Accessories can differ between model years, variants, body styles and existing modifications. Provide the exact make, model, year, variant and a list of fitted equipment so mounting, electrical, load and clearance requirements can be checked before ordering.
