What is a Roof Rack?

Whether for a big or small vehicle, there is always a limited cargo space. You are more likely to feel such limitation on a weekend drive out for adventure or camping. That’s why they ask help from roof racks, rooftop cargo carrier bags and others. By attaching them to the roof, the carrying capacity in a vehicle can be much improved. A roof rack can simply extend the space and enhance the carrying capacity when facing a packed vehicle.

More than just shipping packages, a roof rack or roof tray that fits the height of the vehicle also makes it possible to transport larger items like bikes, kayaks, pairs of skis, surfboards and much more.

When loading your vehicle with the items mentioned above, they should be secured with appropriate strapping and tension. When securing items to a roof rack, it is also suggested to refer to the recommendations from the vehicle manufacturer or the vehicle’s instructions.
