Long ladders, pipes and building materials can quickly take up valuable space inside a VW Transporter T7. The Rhino KammBar Pro aluminium roof bar system turns the vehicle roof into additional transport space – particularly useful for trades, installation and service vehicles where tools, equipment and storage systems need to remain easily accessible inside the van.
The set consists of three aerodynamic aluminium roof bars and is available for different vehicle lengths and roof heights. With a load capacity of up to 50 kg per bar, the KammBar Pro provides a robust solution for regularly carrying ladders, pipes, cable trunking, profiles and other suitable long loads.
Which roof bars are suitable for the VW Transporter T7?
In short:
The Rhino KammBar Pro is a vehicle-specific aluminium roof bar system for the current VW Transporter. The set includes three bars and is selected according to the vehicle length and roof height. Its aerodynamic aluminium profiles are designed for regular professional use and can be combined with a wide range of Rhino accessories.
More usable space for everyday work
The VW Transporter already provides a practical load area, but long items can quickly become inconvenient inside the van. Ladders, pipes and profiles may restrict access to tools, interfere with storage systems or occupy floor space that is needed for other equipment.
With the KammBar Pro, suitable long loads can be carried on the vehicle roof instead. This keeps more of the load compartment available for toolboxes, machines, shelving and other equipment required throughout the working day.
This makes the system particularly useful for electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, service technicians, construction teams and landscaping businesses using the VW Transporter as a professional work vehicle.
Aerodynamic aluminium bars for professional use
The KammBar Pro uses specially shaped aluminium roof bars. Their aerodynamic profile is designed to improve airflow and help reduce the wind noise commonly associated with roof-mounted carrying systems.
Aluminium also provides a useful balance between strength and weight. This is particularly important on a vehicle roof because the weight of the roof bar system itself already forms part of the permitted roof load.
The anodised aluminium surface provides good corrosion resistance, making the KammBar Pro suitable for regular year-round use in changing weather conditions.
Suitable VW Transporter T7 configurations
Selecting the correct KammBar Pro version depends on the vehicle length and roof height. The current VW Transporter is available with different wheelbases and roof configurations, so these details should always be checked before ordering.

Add the accessories that suit your work
The right accessories can turn the KammBar Pro into a roof transport system tailored to your everyday work. Rhino offers a range of options for different types of cargo and loading routines.
A loading roller, for example, makes it easier to slide ladders and other long items onto the roof from the rear of the vehicle. Ladder clamps are useful for regular ladder transport, while load stops help position suitable cargo on the bars.
A roof rack transport tube can also be a practical addition for carrying long, smaller or more sensitive materials. Further accessories such as beacon brackets and lockable cylinders allow the system to be adapted to specific professional requirements.
Kurierbedarf practical tip
Choose accessories according to what you actually transport. A team loading ladders several times a day will benefit from different accessories than a service business that only uses the roof bars occasionally. This keeps the system practical without adding unnecessary weight.
KammBar Pro or a basic roof bar system?
For occasional transport jobs, a simple roof bar system may be sufficient. When the VW Transporter is used professionally every day, however, factors such as aerodynamics, weight, accessory options and vehicle-specific installation become more important.

Before ordering: check your vehicle configuration
When selecting a KammBar Pro for the current VW Transporter, it is important to look beyond the vehicle name alone. Wheelbase and roof height determine which version of the roof bar system is required.
If you are unsure about the exact vehicle specification, check the vehicle details before ordering. This helps avoid selecting the correct roof bar system in the wrong configuration for your particular van.
Conclusion: KammBar Pro for the VW Transporter T7
The Rhino KammBar Pro for the VW Transporter T7 is designed for businesses that regularly need additional carrying capacity for ladders, pipes, profiles and other long materials.
Three aerodynamic aluminium roof bars, vehicle-specific installation and a wide range of accessories make the system particularly suitable for everyday use in trades, installation, maintenance and service applications.
By checking vehicle length, roof height and required accessories before ordering, the KammBar Pro can be configured to match the way your VW Transporter is actually used.
