Why You Need A Roof Rack

If you don’t already have a roof rack for your vehicle then you are missing out! Adding a roof rack to your car or van will benefit you in ways you’ve never imagined. Keep on reading to find out more about how cost-efficient adding a roof rack can be. 

Reducing fuel consumption 

Yes, you heard us right. By attaching a roof rack to your vehicle, you will reduce your fuel consumption as you’ll be spreading the weight of heavy items across the top of your car instead of focusing the weight in one area. 

Easy installation 

You will also be happy to know that roof racks are easily installed and removed. Therefore, you only need to attach your roof rack when it is necessary. When you no longer need to export additional items on your roof, simply remove and store away. 

Who can benefit from a roof rack? 

If you’ve ever considered getting a roof box to take extra supplies on your trip (and free up some legroom), then you’ll need a roof rack to attach it to your vehicle. 

Benefits for tradespeople 

Many tradespeople benefit from attaching a roof rack to their car or van to transport bulky items or carry essential tools. It is much easier to secure larger items to the roof of your vehicle rather than awkwardly rearranging the inside interior to accommodate big items.  

With one of our Rhino Pipe Tube Carriers, you can also lock copper pipes safely inside a hollow roof rack to make it double up as a pipe tube carrier. 

Benefits for personal use 

As well as tradespeople, roof racks are a great accessory if you enjoy adventures away where you travel by car or caravan. You can secure bikes, fishing poles, surfboards and more to your roof rack to provide additional space in your vehicle, as well as allowing you to bring along your favourite sporting equipment.  

Accessories such as a caravan canopy can also be secured to the roof rack on your caravan for you to enjoy when the caravan is static.
