The aluminum roof rack for Opel Movano C models built in 2022 or later is a robust roof solution for professional long-term use. Thanks to its aerodynamic tube shape, the roof basket is particularly suitable for vehicles that frequently travel on highways: less air turbulence, more pleasant background noise, and a stable base for long items, ladders, and bulky materials.
Technical data & important product information

Installation of Rhino aluminum roof racks
The aluminum roof rack from Rhino Products is mounted at the fixing points provided by the vehicle manufacturer. Plastic caps are visible on the roof – the mounting points are located underneath them. After removing the caps, the mounting feet are screwed in place. You can view or download the installation plan under "Technical Details."
Features of the aluminum roof racks
- Sturdy roof rack made of galvanized aluminum
- Aerodynamic crossbars – quieter than many standard solutions
-
Rear rollers included in delivery – across the entire width
- Cross bars can be moved freely for flexible loading
- Easy to install
- Significant increase in transport volume
- Suitable for hinged doors (according to table)
- Can be combined with many accessories
Application profile – for which applications in the Movano C is it particularly useful?
-
Crafts & construction: ladder packs, wooden slats, rails, pipes, cable ducts – sturdy roof basket for everyday loads
-
Service & assembly: lots of highway driving – aerodynamic shape for smoother journeys
-
Transport & delivery: additional loading space for bulky goods when the cargo area is already full
Aerodynamics comparison – Rhino vs. angular crossbars
The roof construction is particularly noticeable acoustically in high transporters. Compared to angular systems, the tube shape is designed to break up the airflow more evenly. This can reduce wind noise – especially on long journeys and at higher speeds.

Roof rack vs. cross bars – why roof racks often have the advantage in commercial use
If the Movano C regularly transports long goods and varying materials, a roof basket is usually the more practical solution than individual cross bars: more support surface, more securing points, and better load distribution – especially for bulky, uneven goods.
Why Rhino instead of cheaper roof racks?
With cheaper universal carriers, fit, fastening, and loading comfort are often a compromise. Rhino relies on a system that is designed for everyday professional use – with tested safety, loading assistance, and flexible adaptation to the load.
