Weather Guard Standard Safari Aluminum Van Roof Rack for Full-Size Vans (ASRS001)

The Weather Guard ASRS001 standard Safari rack turns a full-size van roof into a real cargo platform. The oval-rail design carries far more than ladders, spreading out to handle wide loads, pipe, conduit, and sheet material, and distributing the weight across the roof for a stable, balanced haul. A built-in load-assist roller bar protects the van and makes sliding heavy or long loads on and off easier, while adjustable ladder stops and tie-down points let you set the rack up around how you work. It is corrosion-resistant aluminum built for full-size vans, and it carries a lot: up to about 500 lb on a Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana. Full-size Ford Transit, RAM ProMaster, Nissan NV, and Mercedes Sprinter vans mount it with the matching Weather Guard channel kit, while gutter vans like the Express, Savana, and Ford Econoline clamp directly to the rain gutters, no extra kit needed.

What's Included:

• Standard Safari aluminum van roof rack, oval-rail platform, for full-size vans
• Load-assist roller bar
• Adjustable ladder stops
• Tie-down points
• Weather Guard installation instructions
• Note: some full-size vans require a Weather Guard mounting channel kit, sold separately

Features

High-Capacity Oval-Rail Platform
The oval-rail Safari design carries wide loads and spreads the weight across the roof, so a full-size van can haul pipe, conduit, sheet material, and ladders, not just a couple of crossbars' worth.

Carries Serious Weight
Recommended payloads run high on a full-size van, up to about 500 lb on a Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana, so it is built for real material loads. Always confirm your specific van roof rating.

Load-Assist Roller Bar
A built-in roller bar protects the van body and makes it easier to slide heavy or long loads on and off, so loading a full platform does not chew up the paint or your back.

Adjustable Stops And Tie-Downs
Adjustable ladder stops and tie-down points let you set up the rack the way you load and keep material located and secured across the platform for transport.

Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum
Aluminum construction resists corrosion in harsh environments and keeps roof weight lower than steel, leaving more of your van rating for the load itself.
