Purchasing for Swiss customersAluminum roof rack – the aerodynamic one
Aerodynamic aluminum roof racks are one of the most practical ways to expand the storage space of modern transporters and commercial vehicles. Without restricting the valuable cargo space in the vehicle, they offer a safe and stable solution for transporting materials and equipment. The high-quality roof racks from the CRUZ brand are particularly popular, characterized by their robust construction, aerodynamic design, and long service life.

Aerodynamic roof racks for vans and private vehicles
In commercial use, roof racks are often used to safely transport bulky materials such as wooden boards, pipes, sheet metal panels, or ladders. Craftsmen and logistics companies benefit from the flexible expansion of storage space. Roof racks are also becoming increasingly important in the private sector: sports equipment such as canoes, bicycles, surfboards, or skis can be transported comfortably and safely. They are also suitable for attaching solar modules or awnings, which can be permanently installed on the vehicle roof.
Optimized aerodynamics for less wind noise
As vehicle manufacturers are building lighter and lighter vehicles, vehicle roofs are becoming thinner and therefore more susceptible to wind noise. Conventional roof racks can further amplify this noise. Our aerodynamic roof racks are designed to minimize air turbulence and improve driving comfort. Aerodynamic racks are the best choice for reducing noise and saving fuel, especially on highways or longer country road trips.
Mounting types: fixed point, C-rail, and railing mounting
Fixed point mounting is most commonly used on modern vehicles. This involves attaching the roof rack feet directly to the factory-fitted fixed points. Some vehicles, such as the Mercedes Sprinter, also have C-rails, which allow flexible mounting and movement of the roof rack – ideal for vans with a rear view camera. For small vans, there is also the option of mounting roof racks on the roof rails. The CRUZ brand offers suitable systems for all common vehicle types.
Accessories for roof racks
To help you secure and transport your load optimally, we offer a wide range of accessories for CRUZ roof racks. These include ladder holders, load securers, walkways, transport tubes, and practical tailgate ladders. With the right accessories, the functionality of the roof rack can be significantly expanded and adapted to the individual requirements of your application.
Versions: aluminum or steel
For particularly heavy loads or if assembly work is regularly carried out on the vehicle roof, we recommend roof racks made of steel or reinforced aluminum. These are particularly load-bearing, torsion-resistant, and durable. The aluminum versions are additionally anodized, which provides reliable protection against corrosion. Even with higher loads, the crossbars do not sag.

Frequently asked questions about aerodynamic roof racks
Aerodynamic aluminum roof racks offer lower air resistance, less wind noise, and high efficiency. Here you will find the most important answers about installation, areas of application, care, and accessories—for both commercial and private vehicles.
What distinguishes aerodynamic roof racks – and how do they affect noise levels and driving comfort?
Thanks to their specially shaped profiles, aerodynamic roof racks reduce air turbulence and significantly lower wind noise – especially at higher speeds. This ensures noticeably quieter driving comfort on the highway.
At the same time, air resistance is reduced, which can have a positive effect on fuel consumption – ideal for commercial long-distance drivers and long journeys.
What is the load capacity – and can the roof rack also be used privately?
Depending on the model and vehicle, the maximum load capacity is usually between 50 and 150 kg. The manufacturer's specifications for the permissible roof load in the vehicle documents are always decisive.
Aerodynamic roof racks are not only suitable for trade and transport, but also for private use – for example, for sports equipment, camping gear, or other leisure luggage.
What types of mounting are available – and how easy is installation?
Depending on the vehicle, the rack is attached using fixed points, C-rails, or railing systems. Fixed points and C-rail mounting are particularly common, as the rack and accessories can be moved flexibly – for example, for roof boxes, superstructures, or camera systems.
The systems are designed for easy self-assembly with the enclosed instructions. Anyone with a little manual skill can carry out the installation themselves, or, especially in the case of commercial vehicles, it can also be done by a specialist workshop.
Are the roof racks corrosion-resistant – and how are they maintained?
Aluminum roof racks are anodized, which provides lasting protection against corrosion and makes them suitable for harsh operating conditions.
Regular cleaning with water and a mild detergent is sufficient for maintenance. Aluminum does not require any additional treatment – the surfaces remain corrosion-resistant in the long term.
Can accessories be retrofitted – and can the roof rack be reused when changing vehicles?
Yes, aerodynamic systems – for example from CRUZ – can be expanded with a wide range of accessories. These include ladder holders, transport tubes, walkways, tailgate ladders, and other mounts.
When changing vehicles, the crossbars can often be reused, while feet or adapters must be adapted to the new vehicle. This creates a sustainable, modular roof rack system.
