Purchasing for Swiss customers
Whether you are a tradesman, courier driver or fitter - anyone who travels by van every day knows the problem: there is often not enough space in the load compartment. Tools, materials, pipes, ladders or bulky goods quickly take up space in the interior. The solution? A high-quality roof rack or roof carrier that creates additional loading space and makes transportation easier, safer and more efficient.
In this article, we show you the advantages of roof racks, the differences between materials and systems and what you should look out for when choosing and installing accessories.
Why a roof rack is worth investing in
A roof rack expands the transport options enormously - without restricting the flexibility of the vehicle. Especially in the trade or service sector, the roof is often the only way to transport long or bulky goods.
The most important advantages at a glance:
- Additional storage space: The cargo space remains free for tools and machines.
- Safe transportation: Ladders, pipes or profiles can be secured firmly and in accordance with the law.
- Versatile use: Depending on the system, also suitable for sports equipment (e.g. kayaks, bicycles) in the private sector.
- More efficiency: Everything has its place – this saves time when loading and unloading.
Aluminum or steel – which material is better?
With roof boxes, you have the choice between steel and aluminum:
- Very robust and durable
- usually cheaper to purchase
- ideal for heavy loads and price-conscious buyers
- Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and aerodynamic
- modern look and low weight
- perfect for everyday professional use
Our tip: If you travel a lot and value easy handling, aluminum is the best choice. Steel is a good choice for occasional transportation or particularly heavy loads.
Not all roof bars are the same – the variants
In addition to complete roof rack systems, there are also load carriers that can be fitted individually. These are particularly popular when maximum flexibility is required.
Accessories make the difference
A roof rack only unfolds its full potential with the right accessories. Here are a few examples:
- Loading rollers – make loading from the rear easier and protect the back & of the vehicle.
- Ladder holder & ladder clamps – ensure a secure hold when transporting ladders.
- Hecktürleitern – facilitate access to the vehicle roof; available as a clamp or screw version.
- Transport tubes (3–5 m) – for tubes or long items, protected from wind and weather.
- Spoiler – reduces wind noise and improves aerodynamics.
- Limiters & load & sinks – increase safety when securing loads.
This turns a simple roof rack into a tailor-made transport system.
Which roof bars fit my van?
Almost every common van model can be equipped with a suitable roof rack, be it a VW T6/T6.1, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Crafter, Iveco Daily or Citroën Berlingo. The decisive factors are:
- Year of construction and roof shape of your vehicle
- The permissible roof load (can be found in the vehicle registration document/manual)
- Your personal area of use
