What are roof bars and racks for?
With a decent roof rack, we can carry a huge range of items on top of our vehicle – they are versatile and practical. The roof might be used to carry holiday equipment, camping equipment, and beach equipment like surfboards, and bicycles, or the professional vehicle might carry work supplies and equipment. Sometimes we just need that space on the roof to bring home the new chest of drawers or bookshelf.
Of course, it might not be just about the space. It can be an advantage to keep the luggage outside the vehicle. Surfboards inevitably get wet, so keeping them outside the vehicles is helpful. The same applies to canoes or skies. A 4WD that carries extra fuel or LPG might prefer to keep it outside and away from the passengers. Specialised gas bottle holders and fuel racks can also serve this purpose.
Occasionally we might see solar panels on a roof rack, so they are constantly exposed to the Sun. Or the roof rack might be used for a communication aerial.
Will any Roof Racks be appropriate?
A good quality roof rack will need to be custom-made for each model of vehicle. While they are generic racks available that are quite cheap they have many limitations. These generic roof racks will only take a light load, and not provide enough support for large items, or enough tie-down points for small items.
What are the advantages of custom Roof Racks Sydney?
A custom roof rack will:
- Be aerodynamic, for the best fuel efficiency
- Be lightweight, so as not to encroach on the maximum load of the vehicle.
- Be as secure as possible.
- Flex in the same manner as the vehicle, to prevent unnecessary wear.
- Provide a high number of tie-down points.
- Be heavy-duty enough to last as long as the vehicle.
