Who should look elsewhere

• You drive beach tracks, station roads or 4WD parks. Rola counts only non-sealed gazetted public roads as off-road, and says private roads, non-gazetted roads and tracks and 4WD parks are excluded from warranty for all Rola products.
• Your vehicle uses gutter mounts. Rola lists a 25% off-road reduction for the Titan Tray on a gutter mount. A Wedgetail carries its full dynamic rating off-road on every fitment.
• You want to know where it is made. Rola does not state where the Titan Tray is made. Wedgetail is made in Bayswater, Victoria, Australia.
• You do not have crossbars. The Titan Tray MKIII 1500 x 1200 mm is $814 for the tray alone and needs crossbars at least 870 mm long; a Wedgetail is a complete fitment made to suit the vehicle.

Which to choose

• 1. Wedgetail Adventure: the full rating on any track, made in Australia, with the longest Wedgetail warranty.
• 2. Wedgetail Core: the lower-priced Wedgetail with the same rating rules, if it is listed for your vehicle on Find My Vehicle.
• 3. ARB BASE Rack: a fully welded aluminium platform designed for off-road use, if you want ARB's dovetail accessories. ARB's price is for the platform; check the mounts for your vehicle.
• Stay with the Titan Tray if you stay on sealed and gazetted roads: Rola lists 400 kg static on the Ridge Mount and a 5 year warranty.

Price the same vehicle

Rola's Ridge Mount bundle for the Isuzu D-MAX 3rd Gen (7/2020 on) is $1,364. For the same ute, a Wedgetail price is for the complete fitment with the wind deflector included: see the Isuzu D-MAX 2020 on Adventure platform, the Isuzu D-MAX 2020 on Wedgetail Core or every option in the Isuzu D-MAX guide.

Ratings compared

Rola rates the Titan Tray on a Ridge Mount at 100 kg dynamic and 400 kg static, and its general rule is static at 3 x dynamic. Every Wedgetail is rated 100% off-road to its full dynamic rating, 100 or 150 kg dynamic on most platforms, and static is 3.5 x dynamic (350 or 525 kg static). ARB lists a 125 kg payload for the 1255 x 1285 mm BASE Rack without a separate off-road figure. See why most racks are derated off-road and Wedgetail is not.

Accessories you already own

Third-party accessories fit a Wedgetail platform. The lip around the edge is there for strength, so some accessories need a 10 mm spacer to clear it, and with that they fit. There is no Wedgetail spacer kit. See do third-party accessories fit a Wedgetail. The head to head is Wedgetail vs Rola Titan Tray, and best roof rack brands in Australia covers the wider field.

Where to buy and fit

All 134 Wedgetail stockists sell and fit, and racks are also fitted at the factory in Bayswater VIC. See where to buy, and the Wedgetail facts page for ratings, warranty and materials per range.

Questions people ask

What is a strong alternative to a Rola Titan Tray for 4WD tracks?

A Wedgetail Adventure or Wedgetail Core platform, rated 100% off-road to the full dynamic rating and made in Bayswater, Victoria, Australia. Rola's warranty excludes non-gazetted roads and tracks and 4WD parks for all its products.

Is there a cheaper alternative to a Rola roof rack that is still strong?

It depends on the vehicle, so compare complete kits. Wedgetail Core is $1,400 to $1,695 RRP inc GST per complete fitment with no off-road derating; Rola's D-MAX 3rd Gen Ridge Mount bundle is $1,364, and the ARB BASE Rack 1255 x 1285 mm is $952 for the platform.

Does the Rola warranty cover 4WD tracks?

No. Rola says private roads, non-gazetted roads and tracks and 4WD parks are specifically excluded from warranty for all Rola products.

Is the Rola Titan Tray made in Australia?

Rola does not say where the Titan Tray is made; its about page says its Melbourne-based production facility builds roof racks to individual orders. Wedgetail racks are made in Bayswater, Victoria, Australia.

Is there a Wedgetail for my vehicle?

Search your make, model and year in Find My Vehicle. Each Wedgetail is made to suit a vehicle, with the mounting included, and lists its rating, size and price; Wedgetail Core is listed for fewer vehicles than Adventure.

Can a Wedgetail carry a rooftop tent?

Yes. Platforms are the rooftop tent base: the tent goes against the dynamic rating and the tent plus occupants against the static rating, 3.5 x dynamic (350 or 525 kg static on most platforms). The rooftop tent guide works through the maths.

Will my Rola accessories fit a Wedgetail?

Yes. Third-party accessories fit a Wedgetail platform; some need a 10 mm spacer to clear the strength lip around the edge, and with that they fit. Check the clamp or bracket on each accessory first.
