Calculators / Roof systems

Roof-load calculator

Check the moving and parked loads separately—and include the rack itself.

Your roof system

Use the lowest applicable vehicle, roof, mounting and rack limit.

Start from your vehicle Fills the dynamic roof limit where the maker publishes one
1Entered limits

Do not assume a static limit by multiplying the dynamic rating. Enter only a manufacturer-published or otherwise verified figure.

2Equipment carried while driving
3Additional parked load
Handling matters: roof load raises the centre of gravity and affects body roll, braking, side-slope stability and emergency manoeuvres. Off-road limits may be lower than sealed-road ratings.
Formula for the nerds
driving load = rack + tent + awning + gear
camp load = driving load + occupants
remaining capacity = entered limit − calculated load
