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

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.

Questions people ask

Which roof racks fit a high roof van?

The rack listed for your van's wheelbase and high roof: Wedgetail Adventure for the Sprinter, Crafter, Transit and HiAce high roof, Wedgetail Trade for the HiAce SLWB high roof, Commercial Max for the widest list, and Trade Max crossbars for lighter loads.

Is there a roof rack for a Toyota HiAce SLWB high roof?

Yes. The H300 SLWB high roof has a Wedgetail Adventure platform, a Wedgetail Trade platform and flat deck, a Commercial Max open end rack and a Trade Max crossbar system (rail mount). See the HiAce guide.

Is there a roof rack for a Mercedes Sprinter LWB high roof?

Yes. The Sprinter LWB high roof has Wedgetail Adventure platforms for the NCV3 and VS30 and Commercial Max platforms for the VA and VS30, and the VS30 MWB high roof also takes Trade Max crossbars. See the Sprinter guide.

Will a low roof rack fit my high roof van?

No. Wedgetail lists each van rack by wheelbase and roof height, so a high roof van takes its own fitment. Check yours in Find My Vehicle.

Is a wind deflector included?

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

What load rating and warranty?

Each fitment has one dynamic rating, shown on the pick cards and in the table, and it holds 100% off-road; static is 3.5 x dynamic. Warranty is 10 years on Wedgetail Adventure, 5 years on Wedgetail Trade, 5 years on most Trade Max kits and 1 year on Commercial Max.

Where can I get it fitted?

At any of the 134 Wedgetail stockists, which all sell and fit, or at the factory, 7-9 Newcastle Road, Bayswater VIC 3153, Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm. See where to buy.
