The aluminum roof rack for the Mercedes-Benz Citan II (W420 series) from model year 2022 onwards has been specially developed for the current vehicle generation. With its aerodynamically optimized crossbars, the system is ideal for frequent drivers, tradespeople, and service companies who spend a lot of time on the highway. Compared to simple crossbar solutions, this roof rack offers greater stability, better load distribution, and a professional appearance.
Modern transport system for the new Citan generation
The new Citan platform places increased demands on fit and stability. The roof rack made of galvanized aluminum combines low weight with high corrosion resistance – a clear advantage over classic steel roof racks. Especially in commercial use, the lighter material permanently reduces the roof load.
The streamlined design noticeably minimizes wind noise and air resistance. This keeps the vehicle pleasantly quiet even at higher speeds – particularly important for daily field service trips.
The rear rollers are included as standard and run across the entire width of the roof rack. This makes it much easier to safely slide ladders, profiles, or pipes onto the rack. The crossbars can be flexibly positioned along the rail and individually adjusted.
