Each section is extruded aluminum with the same cross beam structure, internal bracing and zero flex under load as the one piece racks, and the same dovetail extrusion around the perimeter and along each internal beam. Splitting the deck cuts the shipping cost and makes it a rack one person can actually carry up a ladder, without giving up the strength or the low profile fit that keeps it tucked close to the roof line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead this before you order: this listing is one 30.5\" x 51\" section, and ARB states that two sections are required to complete one full rack. Buying a single section gets you half a rack. On top of that, the sections still need an ARB BASE Rack vehicle mount kit, sold separately, to attach to the roof at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne BASE Rack modular platform section, 30.5\" x 51\", fully welded and assembled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorner caps fitted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eARB fitting instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MD7Tu5-Re8Y\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Piece Rack, One Piece Strength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach section is fully welded from extruded aluminum with the cross beam structure and internal bracing ARB uses on the one piece racks, so joining two sections gives the same zero flex deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo Sections Make One Rack\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eARB is explicit that two of these sections are required to complete a full rack.

ARB's own schedule puts wear items such as bushes, bearings, shackles, pins and U-bolts on a shorter 1-year term.

He began hand building roof racks and bull bars in his Melbourne driveway, and the initials of Anthony Ronald Brown ended up on what is now the largest 4x4 accessory manufacturer and distributor in the southern hemisphere. The engineering campus at Kilsyth in Victoria still designs and tests the load carrying, air and recovery equipment the brand is known for, and ARB now runs offices in the USA, Europe and the Middle East with an export network reaching more than 100 countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn North America ARB trades as Air Locker Inc. from Auburn, Washington, and backs its products with a published US and Canada warranty program.
