Packing your car’s roof rack can be a challenging task, but with a little planning and some helpful tips, it can be done with ease. Here are our top 5 tips for packing your roof rack…

1. Check the load limit

Always check the load limit of your roof racks before loading it. Overloading your roof racks can cause damage to your car and put you and other drivers at risk. Tradesman roof racks have been load tested and rated to 80 – 150 kilograms both on and off road.

2. Plan in advance

Before loading your roof racks, take a few minutes to plan out how you will pack your items. This will help you avoid overloading one side of the rack and ensure that your items are securely fastened.

3. Pack the heaviest items in the boot first

To prevent overloading your roof rack, it is best to first pack the heaviest items in the boot of your car. The boot has a higher weight capacity than the roof rack, so it is more suitable for carrying heavy items. Once the heavier items are securely stored in the boot, you can then proceed to pack the larger, lighter items on Tradesman roof racks. This will help you to evenly distribute the weight across the vehicle and ensure that your items are transported safely.

4. Distribute the weight evenly

It’s important to distribute the weight of your items evenly across the roof racks. This will help to prevent damage to your car and ensure that your items are transported safely.

5. Use straps and tie-downs

Straps and tie-downs are crucial for keeping your items in place while in transit. Be sure to use high-quality straps and tie-downs that are rated for the weight of your items.
