This aluminium cargo bar for vans provides a flexible solution for securing and separating loads in commercial vehicles. The required working length is selected directly from the available product variations, allowing the bar to be matched closely to the actual dimensions of the load area.
Each version offers an adjustment range of 370 mm. Ten working ranges are available, from 1.05–1.40 m up to 1.90–2.27 m, making this series particularly suitable for vans, smaller commercial vehicles and a wide range of load area layouts.
Which length cargo bar do I need for my van?
Quick answer: Measure the distance exactly where the cargo bar will be installed. The measured distance must fall within the working range of the selected version. Each model provides 370 mm of adjustment.
Example:
If you measure 1.82 m inside the vehicle, the 1.60–1.97 m version covers this distance. Always measure at the actual intended installation position rather than relying on the general vehicle width.
10 working ranges for different van sizes
This cargo bar is available in ten adjustable lengths, allowing the most suitable version to be selected for the actual distance inside the vehicle.

Aluminium cargo bar with rack-and-lever adjustment
The cargo bar is made from a strong 42 mm diameter aluminium tube. Its telescopic length is adjusted using a rack mechanism, after which the bar is tensioned between suitable contact surfaces inside the load area.
Rubber feet on both ends provide broad contact with the vehicle surfaces and support secure positioning of the bar.
Integrated spring function for movement on the road
An integrated spring function helps compensate for small movements that can occur while driving, for example during cornering or on uneven road surfaces.
This allows the cargo bar to respond to slight movement between the contact surfaces while remaining within its intended operating range.
Horizontal or vertical use
Depending on the vehicle and suitable contact surfaces, the cargo bar can be used horizontally or vertically.
Horizontal installation between the side walls is the most common arrangement. Vertical use may also be possible where the floor and upper contact point are sufficiently strong.
Important:
Only tension the cargo bar between stable, load-bearing contact surfaces. Thin interior panels or delicate vehicle components may be damaged if excessive pressure is applied.
Blocking capacity of 140 daN
This 42 mm aluminium cargo bar has a specified blocking capacity of 140 daN.
Actual performance also depends on the installation conditions, including the condition of the rubber feet, the contact surfaces, moisture, dirt and the way the bar has been positioned and tensioned.
The 140 daN value should therefore not be converted directly into a specific permissible cargo weight. The vehicle, load and all securing equipment must always be considered together.

This cargo bar or the SAM 55 Professional?
This conventional aluminium cargo bar is particularly suitable when a rack adjustment system, 42 mm tube and a wide choice of working lengths are required.
The SAM 55 Professional uses a larger 55 mm aluminium tube together with an internal webbing strap and telescopic brake. It therefore offers a different tensioning concept for professional applications.
FAQ – Cargo Bar for Vans
How do I choose the correct length?
Measure the actual distance at the intended installation position. The measurement must fall within the working range of the selected version. Each version provides 370 mm of adjustment.
Which working ranges are available?
Ten versions are available, from 1.05–1.40 m up to 1.90–2.27 m.
Can the cargo bar be used horizontally and vertically?
Yes, provided the vehicle has suitable and sufficiently strong contact surfaces.
What is the blocking capacity?
The specified blocking capacity is 140 daN. Actual performance also depends on contact surfaces and installation conditions.
Measure the load area and choose the right working range
With ten available working ranges, 370 mm adjustment per version, a 42 mm aluminium tube and rack adjustment, this cargo bar can be matched closely to a wide range of van interiors.
Measure the actual installation position first and then select the version that fully covers the required distance.
