Van roof bars are one of the best ways to create additional storage on your vehicle. If you’re currently looking at purchasing a roof bar and aren’t sure what to buy, here are some reasons you should consider the ULTIBar.

1. More Storage Space

The Van Guard roof bars are perfect for storing things that won’t fit in the load area of your van. The capacity is 80kg per bar, so you can easily carry ladders, equipment, and materials on top of your van without needing to worry about them being too heavy.

If you’re going away on holiday and want to hire some extra kit such as surfboards, paddleboards, or kayaks, these can be carried on the roof with ease thanks to the additional storage space the bars provide.

2. Made from Anodised Aluminium

The roof bars are made from anodised aluminium which is a process that hardens the surface of the aluminium. This makes them incredibly strong but also lightweight. It also means the ULTIBar can withstand harsh weather conditions, making them durable, weatherproof, and anticorrosive.

The brackets that support the bars are constructed from reinforced steel and are designed specifically to each make and model of van. This is so that the brackets sit on your van's existing fixing points meaning that no drilling to the vehicle is required and results in easy fitting.

3. Quick and Easy to Install

Installing the ULTIBar is very quick and easy. Once you’ve fitted the bars, they’re easily removed if you decide to sell your vehicle too. The roof bars are specifically designed to your van's make and model fit to the van using your vehicle’s existing fixing points, so there’s no drilling required.

4. 2 Free Pairs of Load Stops

The ULTIBar comes with 2 free pairs of load stops, and additional accessories such as a rear ladder roller can be purchased separately. There are many other accessories that can make using your roof bars even easier, including eye bolts for additional tie down, and our Pipe Carrier can also be fitted to the roof bars to carry materials you don’t want to get damaged.
