Roof Racks for Utes and 4x4 Vehicles

A roof rack expands your ute's carrying capacity beyond the tub, allowing you to transport long materials, recovery gear, camping equipment, and rooftop accessories. UniUte supplies roof racks in steel and aluminium for a wide range of dual-cab utes, with options including low-profile platform racks, ladder racks, and full-length touring racks. Load ratings vary by model and fitting position, so selecting the right rack for your intended use is important.

Platform Racks and Touring Setups

Platform-style roof racks provide a solid deck for mounting roof top tents, awnings, lighting, and recovery equipment. They are typically constructed from welded steel or aluminium tube and mount to the factory roof rails or gutter mounts. Aluminium racks are lighter and better suited to vehicles where payload margin is important; steel racks offer higher load limits for heavier builds.

Trade and Commercial Applications

For tradespeople, roof racks carry pipes, conduit, ladders, and timber beyond the length of the tub. Many trade roof rack systems include integrated ladder stops and load restraint points. If you need to carry long materials both on the roof and in the tub, pair a roof rack with a tub rack for a full-length carrying solution.
