The best way to secure your gear is with quality ratchet straps or cam buckle straps, tightened snugly but not over-tensioned. Tracklander’s full mesh base makes it easy, every square gives you a solid tie-down point, so you can strap your load from any angle. When securing items like swags, recovery boards, or camping gear, make sure the straps are positioned evenly to prevent movement. For awkward or oversized loads, use Tracklander accessories like load guards, eye bolts, or side rails to keep everything stable.

Every Tracklander roof rack can be a boat loader rack—it’s all about the accessories you choose.

You don’t need a separate setup, just add the right Boat Loader Accessory, you already have the strength and flexibility to safely load small boats, kayaks, and canoes with ease. It integrates directly with your Tracklander rack, spreading the load evenly and protecting both your gear and your vehicle. See out blog post about boat loader roof racks.

It all depends on what you’re carrying and how you travel. If you want something versatile, go with a flat roof rack—it’s low, quiet, and perfect for mounting swags, jerry cans, recovery boards, or anything bulky. A basket rack is ideal for camping gear or loose loads that need a little more containment. And for tradies or anyone hauling long gear like ladders, timber, or pipes, a tradie rack with open ends makes loading and unloading fast and easy. Every Tracklander roof rack share the same off-road durability, so the choice comes down to what fits your lifestyle. You can use our Fit My Vehicle filter to find racks that suit your make and model, then customise your setup with our range of roof rack accessories to get the most out of your gear.

You can—most of the time. Tracklander roof racks are designed to last longer than your vehicle, so if you’ve upgraded your rig, chances are your rack can come along for the ride. The key thing to know is that mounting kits are vehicle-specific. Your roof rack might fit perfectly on one model but need a different mounting system on another. The good news? Tracklander has a wide range of cross-compatible kits for most 4WDs, utes, and wagons, so you probably won’t need a whole new setup. If you’ve changed vehicles, head to our Fit My Vehicle tool to see exactly which kit or components you’ll need. Or, get in touch with our team—we can help you match the right rack and mounting kit so your gear stays safe and secure, no matter what you drive next.

Tracklander roof racks are designed for straightforward installation with all necessary mounting hardware and step-by-step instructions included. No drilling needed. Each Tracklander mounting kit is custom-designed for your vehicle, using the factory mounting points for a clean, secure fit. Most users find they can install the racks themselves with basic tools and minimal experience. However, if you prefer extra confidence or want to ensure the perfect fit, authorised Tracklander stockists and fitters across Australia offer professional installation services. This way, you can be sure your rack is securely mounted and ready for any adventure.

Tracklander roof racks have long been known for their fully welded mesh base, giving you unlimited tie-down points, incredible strength, and total load security. The mesh design makes it easy to strap down awkward or bulky gear from any angle, and because it’s welded at every contact point, you’ll never get flex or fatigue like you do with bolt-together systems. Our plank racks (coming soon) offer a different style—featuring solid plank sections designed for those who prefer a sleeker, flat platform with integrated channels for accessories. They’re aerodynamic, lightweight, and ideal for mounting awnings, solar panels, or rooftop tents. Both styles share the same Tracklander DNA: 100% off-road load rating, precision engineering, and quiet performance. The choice comes down to how you travel—and how you like to pack your gear.

We take pride in the fact that Tracklander roof racks are the quietest on the market. Every Tracklander rack is wind-tunnel tested and built to sit as low as possible on your roof. Our aerodynamic wind deflection design helps smooth airflow and stops the annoying whistle or buffeting you often get with cheaper racks. That means you can cruise the highway or hit corrugations without any extra noise or vibration. Our welded mesh base racks have additional benefits of lowering wind noise. As they are one solid piece, not bolted panels that can loosen over time.

Tracklander racks are 100% off-road load rated, meaning their full load capacity doesn’t drop when you leave the sealed roads in your dust. Some brands lower their load limits for off-road use—ours don’t. What you see is what you get, wherever you go. Your vehicle’s manufacturer provides a roof load rating, and we engineer our racks to match it exactly—so you can load up confidently, whether you’re touring or tackling corrugations. It’s important to understand the three types of load ratings: Static: When your vehicle’s parked (e.g. roof-top tents). Dynamic on-road: When you’re driving on sealed roads. Dynamic off-road: When driving over rough terrain. Always check your vehicle’s manual for its maximum limits, then match your rack accordingly. If you’re unsure, use our Fit My Vehicle tool or reach out to our team for help.

Yes you can. Tracklander roof racks are low-profile, lightweight, and aerodynamic, which means they’re made to stay put without adding noise or drag. Our wind deflection technology cuts down that annoying whistling sound you get with cheaper racks, and the fully welded mesh base keeps everything solid and rattle-free. Leaving your rack on permanently won’t hurt performance or fuel economy—especially with our low mounting design that sits close to the roofline. Plus, with 100% off-road load rating and corrosion-resistant materials, your Tracklander  Roof Rack is built to handle Aussie conditions, all year round.

Keeping your Tracklander roof rack in top shape is simple. A quick wash with mild soap and water after each trip will remove dust, salt, and road grime that can build up over time. For coastal or outback driving, give it an extra rinse to clear off any corrosive residue. Because Tracklander racks are made from high-grade aluminium and fully welded at every contact point, they’re built to handle tough conditions without rusting or warping. Just avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that can damage the surface coating.
