Rhino KammRack roof rack - Professional transport systems for trade and commerce

A Rhino KammRack roof rack is much more than a simple transportation solution. The roof of a van is valuable storage space in the day-to-day work of tradesmen, service technicians, assembly companies and municipal facilities. Anyone who transports ladders, pipes, profiles, cable trays or bulky components on a daily basis needs a system that is durable, safe and efficient. This is precisely where Rhino comes in with its aluminum roof girder systems.

Rhino develops roof bars especially for commercial use. The systems are constructed specifically for the vehicle, matched to the original fixed points and designed for high continuous loads. The result is a stable, durable and at the same time comparatively lightweight transport solution that makes everyday work much easier.

Why Rhino roof bars are convincing in everyday working life

In commercial use, it is not only load-bearing capacity that counts, but also suitability for everyday use. A roof rack must be able to withstand repeated loading and unloading, different weather conditions and high mileages without any problems. Rhino therefore relies on high-quality, corrosion-resistant aluminum that remains dimensionally stable even after years of intensive use.

The combination of stability and low weight is particularly important. Aluminum significantly reduces the additional roof load compared to heavy steel structures. This leaves more leeway within the permissible roof load of the vehicle, which is a decisive advantage, especially for modern vans with sensitive weight limits.

In addition, there is the TÜV test and the design according to the 20 g crash test (ECE 17.07). These technical standards ensure a high level of safety and make Rhino roof bars a reliable solution in a professional environment.

Vehicle-specific solutions for common transporter models

Rhino roof bars are available for numerous van models - from compact city vans to large panel vans. These include vehicles such as the Mercedes Sprinter, VW T7 Transporter, Ford Transit, Renault Master, Iveco Daily, Peugeot Boxer or Opel Movano. More compact models such as the Renault Kangoo, Mercedes Citan or similar series are also covered.

The fixed points provided by the manufacturer are used thanks to the vehicle-specific design. This means: no unnecessary drilling, clean installation and optimum load distribution on the vehicle roof. This standardized and safe solution is a great advantage, especially for fleet vehicles.

Roof basket or crossbar – which system fits?

The requirements for the roof system differ depending on the application profile. Those who transport extensive material on a daily basis often opt for a closed roof basket. This offers a continuous loading area, makes it easier to secure long items and provides a structured, professional look.

Crossbar systems, on the other hand, are particularly suitable for flexible use. They are lighter, quick to install and ideal for transporting roof boxes, special bodies or changing loads. Both variants benefit from the aerodynamically optimized design, which is consistently implemented at Rhino.

Aerodynamics & driving comfort

Wind noise and air resistance play an important role, especially when driving at high speeds on the highway. The specially shaped transverse profiles of the Rhino roof bars reduce turbulence and contribute to a smoother ride. This not only has a positive effect on driving comfort, but also supports efficiency in long-distance use.

A well thought-out aerodynamic design means fewer whistling noises, lower vibrations and an overall more professional driving feel - particularly relevant for service vehicles that cover many kilometers every day.

Safety as a central element

Rhino roof bars are designed for real-life stress situations. Emergency braking, evasive maneuvers or strong crosswinds place high demands on the design. The robust connection via the original fixed points and the crash-tested design ensure that the load can be transported safely - provided it is properly secured.

The combination of high-quality material, sturdy construction and certified testing makes Rhino a reliable choice for companies that do not want to compromise on safety.

Assembly – quick, clean and practical

A Rhino roof rack is usually fitted to the fixed points provided by the vehicle manufacturer. Plastic covers are removed, the mounting brackets are fitted and then connected to the roof rack. Depending on the vehicle model, the typical installation time is around 35 to 45 minutes.

This structured body is particularly interesting for workshops, converters and fleet managers, as vehicles are quickly ready for use again. In addition, the vehicle structure remains untouched, which can have a positive effect on value retention and warranty conditions.

Modular accessories for maximum functionality

A major advantage of Rhino systems is their modular expandability. Roof carriers can be adapted precisely to the respective requirements. For example, a lockable pipe transport system such as the Porte Tube Pro is ideal for transporting pipes and profiles. Electricians and plumbing companies benefit from clean and protected storage of long materials.

Special ladder clamps and ladder holders are available for the safe transportation of ladders. These enable quick securing and lowering, which saves valuable time in daily use. Ergonomic solutions such as a ladder holder also make loading and unloading easier.

Additionally, running boards or platforms can be integrated to make it easier to work safely on the vehicle roof. This is a sensible investment in work safety and comfort, especially for larger vans.

Aluminum vs. steel – why aluminum has the advantage

In direct comparison with steel, aluminum offers decisive advantages for commercial use. In addition to its lower weight, its excellent corrosion resistance is particularly impressive. While steel structures can be susceptible to rust in the long term, aluminum remains permanently stable even when exposed to moisture and road salt.

In addition, an aluminum roof girder looks more modern and of higher quality. In combination with a professional corporate image, it supports a uniform appearance of your vehicle fleet.

Economy for companies and fleets

For companies with several vehicles, it's not just acquisition costs that play a role, but also durability and maintenance costs. Rhino roof boxes are designed for long-term use. The robust construction reduces the risk of material damage, and the modular system enables extensions to be made if necessary instead of complete new purchases.

Standardized solutions within a fleet allow processes to be standardized. Drivers work more efficiently, material is always to hand and the company presents itself to the customer with professional, well thought-out vehicle equipment.

Conclusion: Rhino roof box as a professional system solution

A Rhino roof bars combine stability, safety, aerodynamics and modularity in a well thought-out overall system. Whether for individual tradesmen or large fleets, the aluminum roof bars offer a durable, professional solution for everyday use.

For those who value quality, certified safety and clean integration into the vehicle, Rhino roof bars are a sustainable investment in efficiency and working comfort.
