Roof Racks & Cross Bars

A roof rack turns your vehicle into a proper load-hauler, freeing up cabin space for the gear that makes a trip worthwhile. Our Roof Racks and Cross Bars collection brings together universal and vehicle-specific racks, cargo baskets, ladder racks and mounting hardware for Australian 4WDs, SUVs, sedans, vans and utes. Whether you are carrying kayaks and camping gear across the country, hauling ladders and materials for work, or fitting an awning and recovery boards to a touring setup, this range has the aluminium cross bars, carriers and tie-down points to get it done.

Cross Bars and Roof Rack Types

The core of the range is universal aluminium alloy cross bars in a wide spread of lengths, from around 90cm up to 145cm, many with lockable clamps for security. Different vehicles need different mounts: choose clamp-style bars for naked roofs, bracket kits for raised side rails, and rain-gutter roof racks, available around 120cm, for older 4WDs and vans with classic gutters. Aluminium keeps the bars light and corrosion-resistant, which matters in coastal and outback conditions alike.

Baskets, Cargo Carriers and Roof Bags

When you need to carry more than a couple of items, a roof basket spreads the load and keeps gear contained. The collection includes universal cargo baskets and luggage carriers in 123cm and 160cm sizes, larger extension cargo baskets for SUVs and trucks, and soft roof rack kits with adjustable straps for kayaks and boards on vehicles without fixed bars. A waterproof roof-top cargo bag with around 425L capacity is ideal for keeping soft gear dry over a long haul.

Vehicle-Specific and Van Ladder Racks

For a factory-look fit, direct-fit crossbars are available for popular models including the Mazda CX-5, Subaru Forester and Jeep Grand Cherokee. Tradies and fleet drivers are covered too, with 2-bar and 3-bar van ladder racks in aluminium and alloy steel, adjustable to suit full-size vans and rated to substantial loads, plus overhead garage ceiling storage racks to keep the shed organised.

Mounting Hardware and Tie-Down Accessories

The right anchors make loads secure and quick to change over. The range carries T-track mount tie-down rings in 304 stainless steel, eye-bolt tie-down kits to suit platform racks such as Rhino Pioneer, heavy-duty D-ring lashing points, and E-track rail kits for trailers and cargo areas. You will also find track fixing pins and mounting brackets, plus a folding UHF antenna mount bracket that clamps to a bullbar or rack for better comms on the tracks.

Fitment, Load and Care

Before you buy, check your roof type, whether naked, raised rails, flush rails or rain gutters, measure the space between mounting points, and confirm your vehicle roof load rating so you stay within limits. Spread heavy items low and centred, use quality straps and rated tie-down points, and lock clamps where fitted. Rinse aluminium bars after beach or dusty trips and check clamp torque periodically so everything stays tight and rattle-free.
