If you use your vehicle for work, you already know how much time and effort goes into loading and unloading tools, ladders and materials every day. But here’s something many tradies overlook – adding a roller accessory to your roof rack can make that daily grind faster, safer and easier.

Whether you’re carrying ladders, pipes, timber or long materials, a roof rack roller transforms how you load your vehicle. At Tradesman Roof Racks, we offer two heavy-duty roller accessories designed for the Commercial-Max and Oval Steel Roof Racks, making them a must-have for any professional setup.

What Does a Roof Rack Roller Do?

A roller sits at the rear of your roof rack, acting like a smooth ramp that helps you slide items on and off the rack effortlessly. Instead of lifting heavy or awkward loads over the edge of the rack – risking damage to your vehicle or injury to yourself – you simply rest the item on the roller and push it forward.

It’s a simple concept, but it completely changes your workflow.

The Benefits of Adding a Roller Accessory

1. Easier Loading and Unloading

Rollers make handling long or heavy equipment a one-person job. You no longer need to strain your back or rely on a second set of hands.

2. Protects Your Vehicle

Without a roller, items can scrape against your vehicle’s paint or damage your roofline. The roller keeps materials elevated and glides them smoothly into place.

3. Increases Productivity

Less time loading means more time on the job. With a roller system, your vehicle becomes a more efficient part of your workday.

4. Versatile for All Trades

Perfect for electricians, plumbers, builders and maintenance teams – anyone who regularly carries long loads will benefit from a roller accessory.
