The aluminum roof rack for Peugeot Boxer models built in 2006 or later is a durable transport solution for trades, service, and logistics. The aerodynamically shaped crossbars make the roof rack particularly suitable for frequent highway driving: less air turbulence, more pleasant noise levels, and a stable roof loading area for ladders, pipes, and bulky materials.
Technical data & important product information
-
Vehicle: Peugeot Boxer from 2006 onwards
-
Material: galvanized, corrosion-resistant aluminum
-
Installation time: approx. 35–45 minutes
-
Safety standard: 20 g crash-tested according to ECE 17.07
-
Installation height: approx. 24 cm from the top edge of the roof
-
Cross tubes: can be freely positioned along the rail
-
Rear doors: suitable for vehicles with hinged doors (according to table)
Scope of delivery:
✔ Aluminum roof rack system
✔ Rear rollers for easier loading (included as standard, across the entire width)
✔ Mounting feet & mounting material
✔ Installation instructions / installation plan (under "Technical details")
Rear rollers are a real practical advantage, especially for Boxers that frequently transport materials: Long items are guided onto the roof rack – compared to simple roof racks without rollers, loading is faster, more controlled, and less likely to scratch the vehicle.

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 – typical uses in everyday boxer life
-
Construction & interior design: Profiles, rails, panel material – roof basket as a "second loading level"
-
Crafts & construction sites: ladder packages, pipes, cable ducts – secure, large-area support
-
Service fleets: long distances & motorway use – aerodynamic design for greater comfort
Aerodynamics comparison – Rhino vs. inexpensive, angular roof racks
Many inexpensive roof racks rely on simple, angular profiles. With tall panel vans such as the Boxer, this can lead to increased whistling and more air turbulence. The flow-optimized tube shape of this Rhino roof basket aims to create a smoother airflow – a plus for frequent drivers and fleets that value driving comfort.
Material comparison – aluminum vs. steel for the Peugeot Boxer
⚖️ Aluminum or steel – which is better suited for use with the Boxer?
| Criterion |
Aluminum roof rack |
Steel carrier |
| Handling during assembly/service |
Lighter, therefore easier to handle |
Heavier |
| Corrosion resistance |
Very high – ideal for year-round operation |
Highly dependent on coating |
| Continuous operation / appearance |
Low maintenance, resistant to everyday wear and tear |
Requires more maintenance if the coating is damaged |
| Noise |
Often quieter due to profile |
Sometimes louder depending on the design |
Roof rack vs. crossbars – when is a roof rack the better choice?
If you frequently transport different loads, a roof basket is usually more practical than individual crossbars: more support surface, more securing options, and better load distribution. Crossbars are more suitable for specific loads (e.g., carriers only for special structures), while the roof basket is more "universal" for everyday use.
Why Rhino instead of cheaper roof racks?
Cheap universal carriers may look similar at first glance, but they often compromise on fit, fastening, and practical details. Rhino relies on a system that is designed for everyday use – with tested safety, loading aids, and high long-term durability.
