The Purpose of Car Roof Racks
There are different types of racks for various purposes. Some hold luggage; others hold bikes. Some are shaped like baskets, while others are racks across the vehicles' tops. The long ones across the top from front to back hold kayaks or bicycles. Wood or pipes for a construction project can even go on top. The smaller ones hold any equipment for traveling, camping, or fishing.
Car roof racks serve a few purposes. They protect the top of your vehicle if you have to move extensive equipment, while also protecting the interior materials from scratches and scrapes. They also help to eliminate wasted space inside the vehicle, so you have more room for your friends and family. In most situations, it also prevents the driver from having to haul a utility trailer.

How To Choose The Right Roof Rack
Getting the right roof rack is critical. When browsing the plenty of options in our inventory, consider what you want to transport in your roof rack. If you’re planning a beach or mountain vacation, a roof basket may be best for securing your gear. Or, if you’re an avid skier or snowboarder, a hanging hitch rack is a perfect choice. The type of roof rack you choose should be informed by the items you want to travel with.
After determining what kind of cargo you need a roof rack for, it’s important to consider the weight limitations of your vehicle’s roof and the estimated weight of your cargo. Each vehicle is different, so be sure to check the owner’s manual or contact a professional for support. Factory installed sidebars or cross rails will impact the equipment you need to install and secure your roof rack.
