-
Safe Clamp – tested ladder clamp with 20 g test
-
LadderStow – ergonomic ladder holder
-
Platform/walking plate – makes working on the roof easier
Areas of application – from craft businesses to service fleets
The Nissan NV300 and the new Primastar are often used as universal transporters in the commercial sector. This roof rack system is particularly suitable for:
- Installation companies
- Electrical and plumbing
- Facility management
- Mobile maintenance teams
- Commercial fleets with long-distance use
Aerodynamic advantage in daily use
Compared to angular steel constructions, the flow-optimized design improves noise performance at higher speeds. This can significantly increase driving comfort, especially during regular highway trips.

Roof basket system vs. individual crossbars
While individual crossbars are mainly used for roof boxes, a closed roof basket offers significantly more flexibility for commercial use:
- Better load distribution for heavy materials
- More fastening options
- More stable construction for ladders and profiles
- Compatible with platform solutions
Why choose Rhino instead of cheaper universal roof racks?
