Ute canopy roof racks carry the gear that won’t fit inside — ladders, pipes, kayaks, rooftop tents. The two numbers that matter are the dynamic and static load ratings.
Dynamic vs static load
Dynamic load is what the rack carries while driving; static load is what it holds when parked (relevant for rooftop tents). Match both to what you’ll actually carry.
Welded aluminium
HARIO roof racks are welded from aluminium — light, strong and corrosion-proof — and the welding is included in the price, not an extra.
Fitment
Racks are built to bolt to your canopy’s reinforced roof. See our roof racks or ask us to spec a set for your build.
Matching a rack to your load
A ladder rack for trades, a full platform rack for touring and rooftop tents, or crossbars for the occasional kayak. The rack has to bolt to a reinforced canopy roof — a rack is only as strong as what it’s mounted to.
Welded, not bolted-together
HARIO roof racks are welded from aluminium for strength and corrosion resistance, and welding is included in the price. See the load ratings before you buy.
Key takeaways
- Match dynamic and static load ratings to your gear
- Rack must mount to a reinforced canopy roof
- Welded aluminium, welding included
- Ladder, platform or crossbar options
Frequently asked questions
What load can a ute canopy roof rack carry?
It depends on the rack and canopy — match the dynamic load (while driving) and static load (parked, e.g. rooftop tent) to what you’ll carry. HARIO welds aluminium racks rated for real loads.
Is welding included in the roof rack price?
Yes — HARIO includes welding in all roof rack prices; it’s not charged as an extra.
Can I put a rooftop tent on a ute canopy?
Yes, provided the rack and canopy roof are rated for the tent’s static load plus occupants. HARIO specs racks to suit rooftop tents.
