HandiWorld HRACK HandiRack Universal Car Roof Rack; Quick Fit Heavy-duty Roof Bars; Black

Product Information

Carries loads up to 80kg and packs away neatly into a small carry case which fits in the boot or glove compartment of a car. This said, everytime you wish to put the rack back on make sure you have wiped the roof to reduce and dust or grit to save the roof. Once in place, they look like this: Photo taken by me for the purpose of this HandiRack and HandiHoldall 400 Review.

We used ours to carry 3 boats from Trieste airport to Bovec, and spent the whole trip listening to the roof gently pop in and out- not recommended for a relaxing start to your trip.Since 2006 the HandiRack has established itself as a true favorite and the dependable soft roof rack of choice of outdoor enthusiasts. They work fine bit dodgy and if you find them scratching the car with dirt and dust, then wrap cling film between rack and roof. Getting the rack back into its sack was pretty easy, except that it's almost impossible to do if you're alone.

This time we scratched the car roofs to buggery, not just surface, but quite deep ones goind right down through layers of white primer.We needed two people, one to squeeze the valves together to let the air out and the other to roll them up. Two 3 metre HandiStraps are also supplied for securing loads to the 5 D ring anchor points located on each HandiRack. If you are travelling by plane and then by car, the HandiRack roof bars are ideal to be carried in your hand luggage and then attached to your rental car. However, once a load is attached, the handling may be affected, requiring a reduction in speed and longer distances for braking.

The HandiRack can carry loads of up to 80kg subject to individual vehicle manufacturer’ s recommendations and is suitable for most cars with the exception of convertibles and cabriolets. It’s trusted as a problem-solver, for its ease of use, durability, stability, and multi-use versatility. Myself and OH were saying the other day that we might have to invest in some sort of roof rack/roof box, as we have some bulky items we need to take with us on our next trip to France.The 5 metal (not fabric loops) D ring anchor points on each HandiRack allow you to safely secure your load using a pair of 3 metre heavy duty tie downs (included).

I'd be keen to hear people's experiences of using the inflatable roofracks, particularly as part of a fly-drive paddling trip. It’s a good alternative to a roof box, and is ideal if you don’t have storage space for a traditional roof box. Two 3 metre HandiStraps are also supplied for securing loads to the 5 D ring anchor points located on each HandiRack.

During the trip back home the sun had gone down and the air pressure in the roof rack had dropped notably, which also resulted in the boats being looser than before. As I slowed back down to around 50mph there was no humming of the straps, my pulling them about must have sorted out the issue or they had found their sweet spot.
