The aluminum roof rack for Toyota ProAce Max models built in 2024 or later is a professional roof solution for anyone who regularly transports long items, ladders, or bulky materials. The streamlined tube shape makes the roof rack particularly suitable for frequent highway driving: less air resistance, more pleasant noise levels, and a stable roof loading area for everyday use.

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."

Application profile – what the ProAce Max roof basket is particularly suitable for
-
Craftsmen & construction sites: ladder packs, pipes, rails, cable ducts – robust support and many securing points

Aerodynamics comparison – Rhino vs. simple roof racks
Roof rack profiles have a particularly strong effect on noise in large panel vans. Compared to angular standard racks, the tubular shape of this roof basket aims to create a more even airflow. This is particularly noticeable on longer journeys and at higher speeds.

Roof basket vs. cross bars – why roof baskets often have an advantage in the ProAce Max
A roof basket offers more support surface and more flexible securing options than individual crossbars. This is particularly practical if the load changes frequently or is bulky. Crossbars are useful if you need to mount special structures at specific points – the roof basket, on the other hand, is the "all-round" solution for everyday professional use.
Why Rhino instead of cheaper roof racks?
Cheap universal carriers often compromise on fit, details, and comfort. Rhino relies on a system that is designed for everyday commercial use – with tested safety and practical features such as standard rear rollers.
