Roof racks for high roof vans
Short answer
For a high roof van, buy the rack listed for your van's exact wheelbase and high roof: Wedgetail Adventure platforms for the Sprinter, Crafter, Transit and HiAce high roof, Wedgetail Trade for the HiAce SLWB high roof, Commercial Max for the widest list of high roof vans, and Trade Max crossbars for lighter loads. A high roof fitment is a different product from the low or mid roof one for the same van. Every pick holds its rating 100% off-road with static at 3.5 x dynamic, and all are made in Bayswater, Victoria, Australia.

Why roof height changes the rack
Wedgetail lists every van rack by model, generation, wheelbase and roof height. The same van in low, mid and high roof takes different fitments, so a low roof Sprinter or HiAce rack is not the one for the high roof. Give the stockist your van's year, wheelbase (SWB, MWB, LWB, SLWB or EXLWB) and roof height, or search them in Find My Vehicle.
Loading a high roof
- Rear access: the Sprinter LWB and MWB high roof rear ladder is listed for the 2019 on Sprinter; see the Sprinter rear ladder guide.
- Ladders and long loads: roller kits on the rear bar let you slide a load up from behind: the Trade Max single roller kit or the Commercial Max double roller bracket. For ladder hardware by range, see the van ladder rack guide.
- Clearance: installed platform height is not published yet. Measure from the ground to the top of the fitted rack before you drive into a car park or garage.
- Roof limit: the van maker's roof limit applies as well as the rack rating. Use the lower figure.
Camper or trade build
For a campervan or touring build, a Wedgetail Adventure platform is the base for awning brackets and solar panel mounts. For a trade van, Wedgetail Trade, Commercial Max or Trade Max carry ladders, conduit and pipe; the van roof rack buying guide explains how to choose between platforms, bars and ladder racks.
Van guides
Every Wedgetail option by van: Toyota HiAce, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Volkswagen Crafter, Ford Transit, Ford Transit Custom, Iveco Daily and LDV V80. Every one of the 134 Wedgetail stockists sells and fits; see where to buy.

Yes on Wedgetail Adventure, Wedgetail Trade and Commercial Max racks. Trade Max crossbar kits do not include one.
