This looks great - what will the load rating be?

The full system will be around 28kg. The backbone is 3mm aluminium to reduce weight.

The limits of the Grenadier roof is 150KG total dynamic load so I would not load past the vehicle limits. The kit has 12 fixing screws to the roof and 16 screws fixing to the platform which sets it apart from the factory gutter mount options.

Hi looks good, what is the installed height?, will it take a 270 awning?

Any plans on a full length version...will require additional gutter mount bracket.

 

[GrenX]

Not at this stage as for full length there is enough options with factory gutter mount setup and also due to the roof slope at the front or the car makes it complicated, we will do it if we feel there is enough demand in Australia. But for now first we focus on 3/4 only. We will be making a roof LED light bar bracket coming soon.

Now it's getting interesting... I have a Clevershade 270 ultralight.. to keep things as light as possible. Not your normal 270 with a solid backbone... be possible to mount this? Propriety Clevershade channel attaches to platform as below and rear bracket of awning slots into this. Front has a bar connects to a crossmember. And finally.... will rack fit ok if have SLRV side panels as bottom image.

I know the cleaver shade they are awesome, I seen no reason why the cleaver shade wont fit to our platform but it will be more clear when I get updated photos with the final design. The SLRV also looks to have enough clearance to fit the backbone as long at the middle fixing point on the grab rails is clear.

Test fitting we got it just sitting on the factory rubber roof rails for extra support and the lowest possible height.

Have you driven to test the noise level and would it need a deflector? Thanks for showing us it looks great and compact, and not using the gutters is a bonus...doubles as a sun shield

This looks really good.

You have the Rhino rack in your protos, will other platforms also fit?
