More storage space, less noise, and proven safety: Rhino's aluminum roof rack is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to flexibly expand their MAN TGE or VW Crafter. Whether you're a tradesperson, courier driver, or camper, this sturdy roof rack lets you transport ladders, pipes, panels, or bulky goods safely and comfortably.
Why this roof rack is the best choice
Compared to conventional steel roof racks, the Rhino aluminum roof rack scores points with its aerodynamic design, lower weight, and extremely robust, corrosion-resistant finish. Especially when driving frequently on the highway, the specially shaped crossbar construction reduces annoying wind noise and even saves fuel thanks to lower air resistance.
The rear rollers included in the scope of delivery make loading and unloading easier across the entire width of the vehicle. This makes loading bulky or heavy materials a breeze – even when working alone.
Suitable for MAN TGE & VW Crafter from 2017 onwards
The roof rack is available for common vehicle sizes and roof heights H2 and H3. Select the appropriate roof basket depending on the wheelbase and overall length of your vehicle:
