Giantz Universal Car Roof Rack Basket Luggage Vehicle Cargo Carrier Black

Bars on their own only get you so far. Anything that is not long and flat slides about up there, or needs a dozen straps before it feels safe. A tray with sides fixes that, and this Giantz basket gives you a bounded platform with a steel cage base, so awkward loads stay where you set them down.

Powder coating earns its keep on a roof

The tray is steel, finished in powder coat rather than paint. On a part that lives permanently outside, that distinction is the whole story: powder coat is baked on as a thick, even film that shrugs off the stone chips and UV which strip ordinary paint back to bare metal inside a couple of summers. Giantz describes the tray as weatherproof. Practically, it means you can leave it bolted on through a wet winter and not find a rust bloom waiting when the next long weekend comes around.

Eighty kilos, and a base you can tie into anywhere

Giantz states a maximum load capacity of 80 kg for the tray. That figure belongs to the tray alone; your vehicle's roof carries its own limit in the handbook, and the lower of the two governs what you can actually pack. The open cage base is where the design pays off. Rather than hunting for two fixed anchor points, a rope or ratchet strap can pass through the mesh wherever the load happens to sit, so firewood, a spare tyre or a rolled swag all cinch down without improvising.
