Roof Racks

Roof Racks for Every Vehicle and Adventure

Whether you’re heading away for the weekend or gearing up for a full-blown expedition, having the right roof rack on your vehicle can make a world of difference. A solid roof rack gives you extra space, better organisation, and the freedom to bring all the gear that makes a trip truly enjoyable. From rooftop tents and recovery tracks to surfboards, kayaks and storage boxes, a dependable rack setup turns your 4WD or SUV into a purpose-built touring machine.

Choosing the Right Roof Rack for Your Vehicle

Every 4WD, ute, and SUV has its own ideal roof rack configuration. The key is matching the rack system to your roof type — whether it’s gutter mount, track mount, or fixed point. Each mounting style offers its own strengths depending on how much load you plan to carry and how often you remove or adjust the setup.

Our range includes full-length expedition racks for heavy touring setups, slimline flat trays for everyday use, and modular racks that let you customise your layout with accessories like shovel mounts, light brackets and tie-down points. Many of our roof racks come as complete kits made specifically for your vehicle model, making installation straightforward and secure.

Built Tough for Australian Conditions

We only stock roof rack systems built to handle real-world use in Australia. That means heavy-duty steel or lightweight aluminium construction, durable powder coatings, and aerodynamic profiles that reduce wind noise and drag. Whether you’re crossing corrugated outback tracks or commuting during the week, these racks are tested to endure the harshest environments without compromise.

Load Ratings and Compliance

When loading your roof, always check your vehicle’s dynamic and static load ratings to stay compliant and safe. Most roof racks are designed to safely carry between 80kg and 150kg while driving, depending on the system and roof type. For rooftop tents, consider static load ratings — the amount your roof can handle when stationary. 

Why Roof Racks are Essential for Touring and Work

A good roof rack does more than just carry gear, it helps you pack smarter, travel safer, and keeps your cabin clutter-free. For trades and work vehicles, a roof rack allows easy transport of ladders, tools, and equipment without compromising interior space. For travellers, it’s the foundation of a reliable touring setup, giving you the freedom to mount solar panels, awnings, and roof-top storage with confidence.

Related Reading on Roof Rack Care and Maintenance

Roof racks are built to last, but proper care and handling will help them perform better and last longer. If you ever need to remove your setup for cleaning, maintenance, or to improve fuel efficiency, take a look at our step-by-step guide on how to remove roof racks safely and efficiently. It covers the tools, techniques and precautions to help you protect both your rack and your vehicle’s roof while keeping everything in top shape for the next trip.

Roof Racks — Frequently Asked Questions

What type of roof rack fits my vehicle?

It depends on your vehicle’s roof design. Most SUVs and 4WDs use track mount or fixed-point systems, while older vehicles and utes may use gutter mounts. Always choose a rack kit designed for your specific make and model.

How much weight can I safely carry on my roof racks?

Check your vehicle’s dynamic load rating in the owner’s manual. Most setups handle between 80kg and 150kg while driving. Static loads for rooftop tents can exceed 250kg when the vehicle is stationary.

Are roof racks easy to install?

Yes. Many roof racks come in vehicle-specific kits with all mounting hardware included. Installation can be done at home with basic tools, though professional fitting is recommended for track or permanent-mount systems.

Do roof racks affect fuel economy?

Yes, slightly. Any additional weight or wind resistance can reduce fuel efficiency. Choosing aerodynamic, low-profile racks and removing them when not in use helps minimise drag.

Can I mount a rooftop tent to any roof rack?

Not all racks are rated for rooftop tents. Ensure the rack and mounting system are rated for the required static load and that they distribute weight evenly across the roof structure.

What materials are roof racks made from?

Most quality roof racks are made from steel or aluminium. Steel offers extra strength for heavy-duty use, while aluminium provides a lighter, corrosion-resistant option ideal for touring setups.

How can I reduce wind noise from roof racks?

Ensure your rack is aligned properly and consider adding a wind deflector or fairing. Slimline racks and aerodynamic crossbars also help reduce noise at highway speeds.

Are roof racks waterproof and rust-resistant?

Yes. Most roof racks are finished with durable powder coatings or anodised surfaces to resist rust and corrosion, even after long exposure to rain, salt or red dust.
