Those who use the Peugeot Partner III in their everyday business appreciate its combination of maneuverability and payload capacity. However, especially in the trades, assembly, or delivery business, cargo space can quickly become scarce. An aluminum roof rack sensibly expands the transport capacity upwards—with low weight, high stability, and a fit that is tailored to the Partner III.
Technical data & important product information
-
Material: corrosion-resistant aluminum (for long-term outdoor use)
-
Design: aerodynamically shaped cross profiles to reduce wind noise
-
Installation height: approx. 24 cm from the top edge of the roof
-
Assembly time: approx. 35–45 minutes
-
Safety standard: 20 g crash-tested in accordance with ECE 17.07
-
Installation: on factory-fitted fixing points – no drilling required
Scope of delivery:
✔ Aluminum roof basket system
✔ Rear rollers across the entire width of the carrier (standard)
✔ Mounting feet for original fixed points
✔ Mounting material
✔ Installation instructions (under "Technical Details")
The integrated rear rollers are a real practical advantage: ladders, pipes, or sheet material can be pushed across the entire width in a controlled manner – faster, safer, and with less wear and tear on the material than with many standard solutions without rollers.
Vehicle variants & suitable roof rack sizes

Efficient design & high practicality
The aluminum roof basket significantly increases the transport capacity of the Partner III without weighing down the vehicle unnecessarily. The variable positioning of the crossbars allows the roof rack to be adapted to different loads – practical for companies that transport different materials on a daily basis.
The aerodynamic profile shape reduces air turbulence compared to angular crossbars. This means that the system often remains pleasantly quiet when driving on the highway – an advantage for frequent drivers and service fleets.
Mounting at the factory fixing points
Installation is carried out at the original fixing points in the vehicle roof. The designated fixing points are located under the plastic caps. After pre-assembling the feet, the roof rack is securely screwed in place. Detailed instructions can be found under "Technical Details."

Roof basket vs. crossbar – which is more practical in operation?
A roof basket is particularly advantageous when bulky or changing loads are transported on a regular basis:
- More contact surface than individual crossbars
- More options for securing loads
- Better load distribution for ladders and profile material
- Expandable with accessories
Why Rhino instead of cheaper roof racks?
Cheaper systems are often designed to be "universal" and omit details that cost time in everyday use. Rhino focuses on a professional, tested solution that is designed for regular use.
-
Fixed point mounting instead of simple universal clamping
-
Tested safety (TÜV / 20 g)
-
Rear rollers as standard for faster, gentler loading
-
Modular expandability (Porte Tube Pro, Safe Clamp, LadderStow)
-
Durable aluminum quality for continuous use
Optional accessories – maximum flexibility for professionals
-
Porte Tube Pro: transport tube for long items with lockable end wall, aerodynamic, crash-tested
-
Safe Clamp: quick ladder clamp with lock, TÜV GS tested
-
LadderStow: Ergonomic loading and securing of one- to three-section ladders
Conclusion
The aluminum roof rack for Peugeot Partner III from 2019 onwards is a practical, quiet, and robust transport solution for commercial use. With rear rollers, flexible crossbar positioning, and tested safety, the system is a professional addition for trades, service, and delivery operations.
