High load capacity and tested safety
Cruz aluminum roof racks have an impressive load capacity of up to 50 kg per rack. This makes them perfect for everyday commercial use. It is important to observe the roof load specified by the vehicle manufacturer: Since 2010, the rule of thumb has been that the permissible roof load is approximately 10% of the maximum vehicle load – or the maximum value specified in the manual ex works.
Our aluminum roof racks are designed to make optimal use of these manufacturer specifications without compromising vehicle stability or driving safety. They are compatible with numerous van and panel van models and offer an excellent balance of weight, strength, and stability.
Robust construction and durable materials
The robust Cruz load carriers are made entirely of high-quality aluminum. This material is lightweight, stable, and rust-free – an ideal combination for intensive use. Thanks to their precise workmanship and stable construction, the crossbars remain dimensionally stable and resistant to bending even under heavy loads.
The surface of each crossbar is anodically oxidized using an anodizing process. This oxide layer permanently protects the aluminum from weathering, UV radiation, and chemical exposure. This means that the roof racks retain their attractive appearance and functionality even after years of use – without rust or maintenance.
Aerodynamic design for quiet driving
The specially shaped aluminum profiles ensure aerodynamic lines that significantly reduce wind noise when the vehicle roof is empty. This not only improves driving comfort, but also efficiency, as air resistance is minimized. The elegant design also emphasizes the professional appearance of your vehicle.
Practical mounting and universal fit
Cruz roof racks are precisely tailored to fit numerous van models. They are usually mounted using the factory-fitted fixing points in the vehicle roof. On some models, such as the Ford Transit Custom high roof (H2), the racks are attached to a C-rail. This ensures that installation is secure and flexible if the rack needs to be removed or repositioned.
The crossbars can be quickly removed and reinstalled as needed. This is particularly practical for companies that use their vehicles flexibly – for example, for changing transport tasks or seasonal use.
Sophisticated profile with C-slots for accessories
Each crossbar is equipped with integrated C-grooves on the top and back. These are used to hold accessories such as fittings, holders, or fastening systems. The plastic end caps on the sides protect the profile from dirt and ensure a clean finish. This makes the system modularly expandable and individually customizable.
Accessories for Cruz aluminum load carriers
We offer an extensive range of accessories for Cruz roof racks, allowing you to expand your system as needed:
- Loading roller: Makes it easier to load long items such as ladders, pipes, or boards and protects the vehicle roof from damage thanks to the extension supplied.
- Ladder holder: A pair of sturdy holders, one of which is lockable. They enable ladders to be secured quickly, safely, and without straps.
- Foldable load securaments: These four foldable securaments can be folded behind the crossbars when not in use, improving aerodynamics and reducing air resistance. If necessary, they can be easily folded up to securely fasten piece goods or longer materials.
With these accessories, the roof rack can be flexibly adapted to the respective transport task – whether for daily use on construction sites, in craft businesses, or for professional service applications.
