With a customized roof rack, you add extra cargo space to your van
A roof rack adds extra cargo space to your commercial vehicle. This is exactly what you are looking for if you regularly need to transport a ladder, long pipes or long boards. A roof rack increase the loading capacity, allowing you to take more materials with you to your chore. Now you can save a lot of money on your travel costs and have more time for your actual work.
If you are looking for stainless steel and aluminium roof racks, you have found the right website. Both types of roof racks have their pros and cons. We will explain the differences between stainless steel and aluminium roof racks below.
A stainless steel roof rack easily carries the heaviest load
Every stainless steel roof rack in our range is designed and produced with equal precision. This guarantees a perfect fitting roof rack. A stainless steel roof rack is enormously strong, very safe and effortlessly carries the heaviest load to your job. No matter what kind of van you drive.
While carrying capacity is the main advantage of a stainless steel roof rack, we have implemented a number of innovative modifications for greater ease of use. This provides the following list of benefits:
- A stainless steel roof rack is extremely strong. They carry a heavy load without any problems.
- With the loading roller, which runs across the width of the stainless steel roof rack, you easily roll a ladder, tube or plank onto the roof. The loading roller also offers protection to the rear of your commercial vehicle.
- All stainless steel roof racks in our range are equipped with an ergonomic wind guide. This will minimizes noise pollution caused by wind noise.
- Our stainless steel roof rack looks sleek and indestructible.
- We deliver your stainless steel roof rack pre-assembled to your door. All you have to do is mount the roof rack on the roof of your commercial vehicle.
An aluminium roof rack is super light, but still very strong
An aluminium roof rack is made of high quality corrosion-proof aluminium. As a result, you get a lightweight roof rack for your commercial vehicle that easily carries extra cargo. An aluminium roof rack is ideal if you want to keep the total weight of your van as low as possible. This saves on fuel costs.
Want to buy a roof rack but are you still in doubt about the best type for your situation? Then consider the following points:
- An aluminium roof rack is light in weight. Compared to a stainless steel roof rack, you sacrifice maximum load capacity in favor of the overall weight increase of your van. As a result, you consume less fuel with an aluminium roof rack compared to a stainless steel roof rack.
- Aluminium roof racks are made of anodized aluminium, which means they do not corrode.
- All aluminium roof racks for buses with doors are equipped with a wide loading roller. This makes it easy to roll your load on top of the roof rack. The loading roller also offers protection at the back of your van.
- The aluminium roof racks are delivered assembled. With the included manual and assembly materials, mounting is easy.
These tips will make buying a roof rack becomes a lot easier
Buying a roof rack is a big investment. We think it is important that you make the right choice straight away. Use our selection tool and keep the following tips in your mind:
- The length of your vehicle: Vans come with short, medium and long wheelbases. The longer the wheelbase, the bigger the roof rack.
- The year of construction of your van: Car manufacturers update their designs of the most popular vans sometimes to pursue modern standards. This means that the size of the van may change and/or the mounting points for your roof rack may be relocated. That is why you always need to order a roof rack that corresponds to the year of construction of your van.
- The height of your van: Sometimes a manufacturer supplies a van with a raised roof. We supply roof racks in the height variants H1, H2 & H3. You can find the exact height difference in your van product description, so you always select the right variant.
- The type of rear door: always select a roof rack that matches your type of rear door. We supply roof racks for both conventional doors (which open horizontally outwards) and tailgates (which open vertically upwards). Please note that a roof rack for a van with a tailgate has a ladder roll that sits further up on the roof of the bus. The ladder roll is not always usable.
This is how to mount a roof rack on your bus
To make mounting as easy as possible, we ensure that your roof racks are delivered pre-assembled. All you have to do is mounting your roof rack to the mounting points on the roof. You can arrange this in about 30 minutes with the help of a friend or colleague.
Would you rather outsource the assembly? No problem. We will assemble your roof rack in our workshop. Call to make an appointment.
Complementary accessories for a roof rack
We offer many complementary accessories that allow you to enjoy your customized roof rack even more. How about:
- Ladder clamp: You attach the ladder to your roof rack with a ladder clamp. This keeps the ladder motionless while driving. Just as it should.
- Ladders: Do you want to mount a ladder so you can easily climb on top of your roof rack? Then a stainless steel one provides easy access through the side or rear of your van.
- Conduit tube carrier: A conduit tube sleeve offers safe and efficient transport of, for example, copper tubes and other long materials.
- Platform elements: with a platform element, you create a flat loading platform on top of your van. Ideal if you transport relatively small loads on top of your roof.
