Roof Rack Basics

Whether you're gearing up for a weekend escape or decking out your ute for the worksite, roof racks are essential kit. And when paired with a Maxliner Venture canopy, they’re the perfect partner—offering strong load-carrying capacity and serious versatility.
But not all roof rack setups are built the same. From cross bars to platform trays and mounting legs, your system needs to be tough, compatible and built for your needs. That’s where Maxliner comes in—we’re the experts in roof rack setups designed to handle Aussie conditions.

Choosing the right roof rack setup

Your ideal roof rack setup depends on how you use your vehicle. Our team will help you develop a solution that suits your needs. Whether you’re after mounting legs and cross bars for lighter loads or a full platform tray for serious hauling.

All components are engineered for strength, compatibility, and seamless integration with your Maxliner Venture canopy.

Final tips before you load up

Know your load rating. Never exceed the dynamic (driving) or static (stationary) weight limit of your roof setup.

Check compatibility. Not all racks fit all canopies or rails—always match systems with your make and model.

Secure it right. Use quality tie-downs and brackets to prevent movement and keep your load safe.
