Roof Cargo Baskets

Most modern sedans and coupes are designed with rear windows that have a great deal of horizontal slope for aerodynamics and style. Unfortunately very little room is left for the length of deck lids. Unless you have a van, sport utility, or pickup truck, you may find yourself out of luck when you need to stow something. If the ability to carry bulky items is what you need, we offer roof-mounted cargo trays in a huge selection of lengths and widths.

If you take pride in keeping your vehicle's interior clean and spotless, roof-mounted cargo trays and baskets let you carry dirty things outside and clean things inside. For example, we offer trays sized perfectly for carrying mud-covered spare tires and wheels on off-roading excursions. Once you add a cargo basket, you'll be able to avoid dirty and smelly debris blowing around the inside of your car by securing leaf bags, lawn cuttings, recycling, and trash to the roof. Then, all that's needed for cleanup is a simple hose-down of the roof instead of vacuuming carpets and wiping stains off seats.

Roof-mounted cargo baskets and trays we sell are made from extremely strong powder coated steel and aluminum that will resist corrosion or decay after being subject to vibrations, shocks, hail stones, weather, and UV rays. Choose rugged-looking roof basket designs with wide diameter tube bars that would look right at home on any safari vehicle, or traditional mesh patterns. For those that prefer aluminum construction, there's the Rhino Rack® Alloy Tray made from structured aluminum and glass-reinforced nylon. The all-aluminum tray features a solid floor with drainage holes at each corner, and a 3-inch lip frames all sides.

Additionally, cargo baskets and trays affixed to a vehicle's roof allow the most functionality while adding little or no height that can reduce clearance through garage doors, underground parking areas, and automated carwashes. For example, Rhino Rack® offers baskets in steel mesh designs with 5-, 6-, or 7-inch high side walls to keep things in place. Or, choose from a selection of flat and level trays with no sides at all. Measurements typically range from 14 to 46 inches of width, and from 47 to 83 inches in length. In this section you will also find luggage nets designed specifically for holding items in place on cargo baskets. A net of criss crossing straps provides a uniform level of holding strength for all areas.
