You’re not alone. With so many options on the market—and constant updates to vehicle models—it can be hard to know which roof bars offer the best fit, durability, and value.

At Vanarack, we specialise in van accessories that work as hard as you do. Whether you're a tradesperson transporting ladders or a weekend adventurer loading up gear, our Transit Custom roof bars are designed to deliver strength, style, and simplicity.

Why choosing the right Roof Bars Matters for Your Transit Custom

Roof bars aren’t just a bolt-on accessory—they’re a productivity upgrade. The right set of bars can:

• Maximise your van’s storage capacity
• Secure ladders, pipes, and tools safely
• Improve workflow efficiency on job sites
• Support additional accessories like PipeTube Pros or load stops

Transit Custom Compatibility: What You Need to Know

Transit Custom vans come in various configurations—L1 H1, L2 H1, L1 H2 & L2 H2 twin-door, barn-door, high roof, low roof.

Each requires a tailored roof bar solution. For example:

• L2 H2 models may require roof drilling due to the absence of pre-drilled holes 
• Short wheelbase (L1 H1) options are available with easy-fit kits and full instructions 

 Choosing the Right Roof Bars

When selecting roof bars, consider:

• Load capacity: Will you be carrying ladders, pipes, or cargo boxes?
• Material: Aluminium bars are lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
• Mounting system: Do you need fixed points or adjustable brackets?
• Accessory compatibility: Will you add a PipeTube Pro or load stops?
