Anyone who drives a Citroën Berlingo II or Peugeot Partner II (built between 2008 and 2018) on a daily basis—whether for trade, service, or transport—needs a reliable roof solution that works in continuous use. This aluminum roof rack from Rhino has been specially developed for this model generation and significantly expands the loading area – with an aerodynamic design, robust construction, and practical details for everyday work.

Equipment & practical use in everyday work
For vehicles that are used daily on construction sites, at customer premises or in delivery operations, one thing counts above all else: reliable functionality. The roof rack provides a robust base for long and bulky materials – without making the Partner/Berlingo unnecessarily "top-heavy." The crossbars can be moved sideways to quickly adapt the support surface to the goods being transported – e.g., ladders, cable ducts, pipes, or panels.
Application profile – trade, service, transport
-
Crafts: frequent transport of long items – rear rollers save time when loading
-
Service: many miles on the highway – aerodynamic tube shape can reduce noise
-
Transport & delivery: more loading space without changing vehicles – roof basket noticeably increases volume
Aerodynamics comparison – advantage over angular carriers
Compared to simple crossbars with an angular profile, the tubular shape is designed for smoother airflow. This can reduce wind noise – particularly relevant for frequent trips on expressways and highways, as is typical for service and assembly vehicles.
Material comparison – aluminum vs. steel (unique to the 2008–2018 generation)

Roof basket vs. crossbars – which is better suited to the Berlingo II/Partner II?
Practicality is what counts in older vehicle fleets. Compared to individual cross bars, a roof basket offers more support surface and more options for securing loads – particularly helpful when transporting different materials and irregularly shaped items.
- More lashing points and better load distribution
- Ideal for frequently changing loads (ladders, pipes, panels)
- Professional expandability with accessories
Why Rhino instead of cheaper universal carriers?
With inexpensive universal carriers, fit, fastening, and everyday usability are often a compromise. Rhino relies on a system that is designed for continuous use – including tested safety and practical details.
-
Tested safety (TÜV + 20 g according to ECE 17.07)
-
Rear rollers as standard for faster loading
-
Crossbars can be positioned flexibly for changing transport requirements
-
Robust construction for construction sites, service, and delivery operations
Mounting at the factory-set fixing points
Installation is carried out at the factory-set fixing points on the roof. The mounting points for the fastening feet are located under the plastic caps and are securely screwed in place. The roof rack is then placed on top and secured. Full instructions are available under "Technical details."
Optional accessories for maximum flexibility
Porte Tube Pro – transport tube
Ideal for transporting long goods such as copper pipes, bar stock, or wooden slats.
- Installation in approx. 15 minutes
- Load capacity up to 50 kg
- Lockable steel end cap
- 20 g crash tested
- Installation without drilling
Safe Clamp – Ladder clamp
Up to 5× faster than conventional ladder fastenings, including locks.
LadderStow – Ladder holder
Ergonomic solution for safe and quick handling of up to 3-part ladders.
Conclusion
The aluminum roof rack for Berlingo II & Partner II (2008–2018) is a robust, durable, and practical solution for continuous commercial use. With a load capacity of 100 kg, standard rear rollers, and certified safety, it is a professional addition for trade, service, and transport.
