Load ratings and the vehicle's roof limit
Every Wedgetail product is 100% off-road rated to its full rating. There is no separate, lower off-road figure. Static rating = 3.5 x the dynamic rating (100 kg dynamic = 350 kg static; 150 kg dynamic = 525 kg static). A solution with no published rating is shown as "No published rating".
How Wedgetail fits the Volkswagen Transporter and Multivan
Fit methods across the Volkswagen Transporter and Multivan solutions: rail utilising OEM fixtures (11), drilled rail mount (3), fixed points (1), rails on OE tracks (1) and bolted to OE holes (1). Each solution's fit method is listed in its generation table. The main frame sections are welded; the other parts bolt or click together, so the rack ships flat-pack.

Volkswagen Transporter and Multivan roof rack questions
Which Wedgetail fits my model year and generation?
Wedgetail lists solutions for the Volkswagen Transporter LT35 Gen2 (Sep 2098 to Oct 2006), the Volkswagen Transporter T4 (Mar 2093 to Jul 2004), the Volkswagen Transporter T7 (Aug 2025 to current), the Volkswagen Multivan T5/T6 (Aug 2004 to current) and the Volkswagen Transporter T5/T6 (Aug 2004 to 2025). Pick your generation on this page, then your cab or body type; each section links to the matching shop page.
What sizes suit each cab or body type?
Platform sizes (width x length) listed for the Volkswagen Transporter and Multivan: LWB: 1400 x 3000 mm, 1600 x 3000 mm, 1600 x 3600 mm, 1400 x 3300 mm, 1450 x 3000 mm; SWB: 1400 x 2700 mm, 1600 x 2700 mm, 1600 x 3000 mm, 1450 x 2500 mm, 1450 x 2700 mm. The size for each solution is in the tables above.
Can it mount to a canopy instead of the cab?
Not for the Volkswagen Transporter and Multivan at the moment: every listed solution mounts on the roof. Wedgetail fits ARB, EGR Gen 2, Maxliner Venture, RSI Evo, Utemaster Centurion and Ascent canopies and Caddy Storage, CSM and Mode service bodies; a canopy or service body not on this list is not fitted.
What does it bolt to (rails, OE points, gutters)?
It depends on the solution. Fit methods listed for the Volkswagen Transporter and Multivan: rail utilising OEM fixtures (11), fixed points (1), rails on OE tracks (1), drilled rail mount (3) and bolted to OE holes (1). The fit method for each solution is in the tables above.
Will it carry a rooftop tent (dynamic and static rating)?
Check the tent weight against the dynamic rating and the tent plus occupants against the static rating. Platforms for the Volkswagen Transporter and Multivan are rated 100 or 150 kg dynamic, which is 350 or 525 kg static, and the rating holds 100% off-road. Stay within the vehicle's own roof limit too: owner manual check needed.
Is the rating reduced off-road?
No. Every Wedgetail product is 100% off-road rated to its full rating. There is no separate, lower off-road figure.
Do third-party accessories fit?
Yes. The lip around the platform is there for strength. Some third-party accessories are harder to fit; a 10 mm spacer overcomes it, and with that they fit.
What warranty applies?
Warranty is per solution: Commercial Max 1 year, Trade Max 5 years, Wedgetail Adventure 10 years and Wedgetail Trade 5 years.
Where can I get it fitted?
134 stockists across Australia sell and fit Wedgetail; see where to buy. You can also buy direct from the factory in Bayswater VIC and have it shipped.
