It came down with a bang sideways! A new concept roof rack that dramatically makes loading and unloading easier
When loading a kayak, road bike, or camping container, lifting it up to the roof is the norm. With the high height of SUVs and trucks, you typically need to step up. The "ELEVATING ROOF RACK" eliminates such height issues with its innovative design. The rack itself drops down sideways, allowing loading and unloading at waist height. It's a hot topic gear that can be handled safely by one person, unaffected by weight or height.
Release from a high roof. A new concept rack that drops down sideways
The "ELEVATING ROOF RACK" features a structure where the main rack slides down towards the side of the vehicle and drops down to waist height. Unlike conventional roof racks, there is no need to lift kayaks or bicycles overhead, allowing for loading and unloading while maintaining a stable posture at all times. Even SUVs or trucks over 1.8m in height do not require awareness of the roof height.
The rack is securely fixed at a low position, making it less likely to tip over during loading. What was previously reliant on steps or ladders transforms into a natural motion of "simply pulling down and loading."

Gas assist and locking structure for安心 even when used alone
The built-in lift assist mechanism with gas struts smoothly supports the lifting and lowering process. Even when loaded with heavy gear, the rack's movement is controlled at a consistent speed, reducing the risk of sudden drops or releasing your grip. It is designed with a focus on safety and operability, making it easy for women and seniors to handle.
Additionally, the locking mechanism operates during both the lifting and driving phases, preventing unexpected movements and misalignment while in motion. By adopting a simple mechanical structure rather than electric, reliability for use in outdoor fields has also been secured without hassle.

From kayaks to bicycles. A multi-gear that can be used all year round.
The "ELEVATING ROOF RACK" can be widely mounted on T-slot compatible roofs and square roof bars. It supports various attachments such as kayak cradles, bicycle mounts, roof boxes, ski carriers, and surfboard racks.
Depending on the season, even if you want to switch out the gear for kayaks, road bikes, camping containers, and winter sports equipment, it's fine to just switch the attachments based on one rack. Options for container racks and bicycle racks are also available, allowing for expansions that match your preferred way to play.
