Ladder Rack

Ensuring the car’s weight-bearing ability is very important to determine the selection of ladder rack materials to be used. Steel materials will be stronger, but if the car body does not have the ability to withstand heavy loads, so the loads accommodated on it, is limited.

Indeed, the material can be selected from lightweight aluminum. However, this material was not strong enough to accommodate. Therefore, the steel material still good choice, but remains to consider the ability of vehicles, especially in weight-bearing ability of the roof.

Currently, ladder rack system is designed to carry the load between 50-100 kilograms. Sedan, hatchback, city car, and mini multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) for example, able to carry loads between 50-75 kilograms, while the sport utility vehicle (SUV) can accommodate up to 100 kilograms.

One thing to remember is, imperfect installation steps have reduced the aerodynamic aspect of your car. Because the presence of the vehicle ladder that will withstand wind exposure when you drive the car. Burden to be carried by the car is also heavier, so the fuel consumption is more wasteful. Before you decide to install a ladder rack system, make sure when choosing the material and installing it, must be compatible with your vehicle, so fuel consumption will more efficiently.
