When form meets function, you get our new Ford Transit Roof Rack. Specially designed for simplicity, lightness, and aesthetics, the Rover Vans Roof Rack for Ford Transit is a perfect mix between looking good and working good.
No matter what your needs may be, our Transit Roof Rack has you covered. Looking to mount solar panels to the rack? Our crossbars are designed to fit with a variety of solar panels and mounts. Looking to protect your fan or A/C unit? Our side beams provide ample protection from anything that may damage your roof from the sides. Want to mount a light bar? Our front fairing is designed to mount light bars and protect them from the sides. Our roof rack also has the ability to not use any crossbars, just relying on the side beams as well as the very front and back. This allows you to fill the roof space with fans, A/C, internet antenna, and other items and still get the protection from using the side beams as well as the very front and back beams.
Made with powder coated aluminum, our roof rack is both durable and lightweight. Since we use aluminum, there’s no chance of it rusting either.
Fitment: Transit 148 high roof non-extended L3H3
