Why Choose an Aluminium Roof Rack?
Aluminium is the material of choice for modern campervan conversions. It provides high structural strength while keeping overall weight to a minimum — helping to improve fuel efficiency and reduce strain on your suspension and roof mounts.
This roof rack is ideal for solar panel installation, roof boxes, bike racks, awnings, light bars, and more. The modular slotted design gives you total flexibility to mount whatever you need for your build, without custom fabrication.

This isn’t just a heavy-duty roof rack — it’s been designed to look great, too. With a stealthy, low-profile fit, it sits snugly on the roofline of your van, preserving your van’s aerodynamics and giving a premium finish. Perfect for overlanding enthusiasts, tradespeople, or anyone who values function and style.
