The aluminum roof rack for Peugeot Expert III and Peugeot Traveller (3rd generation) from 2016 onwards is the professional solution for increasing the transport volume on the vehicle roof. Thanks to its aerodynamic design, the system is particularly suitable for vehicles that regularly travel on highways and cover longer distances.
Product description – quieter than classic steel roof racks
Compared to conventional steel roof racks, the aluminum version offers significant advantages: lower weight, better corrosion resistance, and optimized noise levels at higher speeds.
The specially shaped cross tubes reduce air turbulence and are therefore noticeably quieter than angular standard systems. This difference is particularly noticeable in service vehicles or assembly operations with daily motorway journeys.
The roof basket is made of galvanized aluminum and is TÜV-approved and crash-tested to 20 g in accordance with ECE 17.07. It therefore meets high safety requirements for commercial use.
The integrated rear rollers make loading much easier – compared to systems without rollers, the load does not have to be pulled over a hard edge, which protects both the material and the roof rack.
More flexible than many rigid roof rack systems
Unlike fixed crossbar systems, the cross tubes can be individually positioned along a rail. This allows the roof rack to be flexibly adapted to different requirements – e.g., for:
- long ladders with a larger support distance
- Combination of roof box and ladder
- Transport of pipes or profile material
- changing construction site equipment
Suitable for the following vehicle sizes
The roof rack is compatible with the following variants of the Peugeot Expert III and Traveller:

Installation – faster than many universal roof racks
Compared to universal clamping systems, this roof rack is mounted directly onto the vehicle's original fixing points. This means:
- no additional drilling is necessary
- clean and stable connection
- a perfect fit without readjustment
Installation takes approx. 35–45 minutes.
Optional accessories – more professional than standard solutions
While many roof rack systems only offer simple ladder holders, this system can be expanded with professional accessories:
-
Porte Tube Pro – protected transport of long items
-
Safe Clamp – faster than conventional ladder clamps
-
LadderStow – ergonomic loading and unloading
-
Platform (L3) – safer working on the roof
-
Rear door ladder – convenient roof access
Conclusion – a well-designed solution for commercial use
In direct comparison to simple universal roof racks, the aluminum roof rack for Peugeot Expert III and Traveller offers greater stability, better aerodynamics, tested safety, and significantly more flexibility in everyday use.
FAQ – aluminum roof racks for Peugeot Expert III & Traveller from 2016
Are the roof racks for Peugeot Expert III and Traveller really identical in design and interchangeable?
Yes, the Peugeot Expert III and Peugeot Traveller (both from 2016 onwards) use the same vehicle platform. The decisive factor for selection is not the model name, but the appropriate vehicle length (L1/L2/L3) and whether your vehicle has a tailgate or wing doors.
Why is a roof basket system often more practical than individual cross bars?
Compared to individual crossbars, a roof basket offers more support surface, which improves load distribution. This often makes it safer to transport bulky items and easier to secure them – especially with changing loads.
Can I also use the roof rack if I frequently have to drive into parking garages or low driveways?
Please take into account the additional height: the roof rack adds approx. 24 cm. For low driveways or parking garages, it is advisable to check the total height of your vehicle including the roof rack in advance to avoid collisions.
What is the advantage of rear rollers when loading?
The integrated rear rollers make it easier to slide long items such as ladders, pipes, or profiles onto the roof from the rear. Compared to systems without rollers, the material is pulled less over edges, which can protect the load and the roof rack.
Which accessories are particularly suitable for assembly and service vehicles?
For daily use in the trades, the Porte Tube Pro (for transporting long items safely), the Safe Clamp (for quick ladder securing), and the LadderStow (for convenient loading and unloading) are often particularly useful. For L3 vehicles, a platform can also improve handling on the roof.
How does the installation work and how long does it take?
Installation is carried out using the original fixing points on the vehicle roof (under plastic caps). No drilling is required. Installation usually takes around 35–45 minutes, depending on experience and vehicle model.
