The aluminum roof rack for Toyota ProAce City models built in 2020 or later offers an aerodynamic, lightweight, and robust transport solution for commercial use. Thanks to its streamlined tube shape, the system is particularly suitable for drivers who regularly travel on highways and value low wind noise and stable driving comfort.
Technical data & important product information
-
Material: galvanized, corrosion-resistant aluminum
-
Design: aerodynamically optimized cross profiles
-
Installation height: approx. 24 cm from the top edge of the roof
-
Installation time: approx. 35–45 minutes
-
Safety standard: 20 g crash-tested in accordance with ECE 17.07
-
Installation: at factory-set fixing points – no drilling required
Scope of delivery:
✔ Aluminum roof basket system
✔ Rear rollers across the entire width (included as standard)
✔ Mounting feet for original fixing points
✔ Mounting material
✔ Mounting instructions
The integrated rear rollers make it much easier to load ladders, pipes, or sheet material. This saves time and reduces the risk of damage to the vehicle roof, especially in everyday service or trade work.

The Toyota ProAce City is technically identical to the Citroën Berlingo and Peugeot Partner, which means that the fit and installation principle are identical.
Efficient in everyday use – aerodynamic & flexible
The specially shaped cross profiles reduce air turbulence and can provide a quieter noise level compared to simple rectangular crossbars. At the same time, the cross tubes can be flexibly positioned along the aluminum rail – ideal for changing transport requirements.
The low weight of the aluminum system has a positive effect on the roof load reserve. A lightweight yet stable system is a clear advantage, especially for compact commercial vehicles such as the ProAce City.
Application profile – for whom is this system ideal?
-
Trades: regular transport of ladders, profiles, or installation materials
-
Service & maintenance: frequent highway driving – quiet, aerodynamic design pays off
-
Delivery & commercial businesses: expansion of transport space without larger vehicle type

Roof basket vs. cross bars – functional difference
While classic cross bars are suitable for individual items, a roof basket offers a closed loading area with significantly more securing points. The basket system offers advantages in terms of stability and load distribution, especially when transporting long or bulky materials on a regular basis.
Why choose a professional system instead of a cheaper universal carrier?
- Fixed point mounting instead of universal clamp solution
- Tested safety (TÜV & 20 g)
- Standard rear rollers
- Modularly expandable with professional accessories
- Durable aluminum construction for long-term use
Extensions & accessories
