Thule online store in Ukraine is the largest point of sale for Swedish car racks, suitcases and travel backpacks. The company has existed since the 1950s, has an excellent reputation and a huge number of clients, it is the founder of trends. All roof racks manufactured by the company are tested for resistance to damage, temperature changes, and intensive crash tests. Only after that they go on sale.

Types of rack mounts

Before talking about the types and choice of roof rack, you need to determine the type of roof attachment. This could be:

  1. Most often these are standard mountings that the car manufacturer has already provided. They are comfortable, reinforced and withstand a lot of stress, but due to the presence of factory holes, the size of the transverse arcs is limited.
  2. Roof rails - two transverse slats that are attached along the roof, at a short distance from it. Roof racks are easy to install, easy to mount even alone.
  3. Integrated roof rails are located close to the roof. They are located along the entire length of the roof, the car rack for them is selected individually for each car model.
  4. The T-profile is usually found only on the roof of SUVs, but this mount has almost no drawbacks. Has a large load capacity and allows you to correctly distribute the weight.

There are also good mounts for bicycles and sports equipment on the roof of a car or on a towbar. All models can be viewed on the official Thule website.

What are the trunks

The most popular Thule roof racks are Cross Bars and Car Boxes. Sometimes baskets are used, but such options are needed if frequent loading and unloading of things is planned, which is convenient on expeditions.

Longitudinal arches can be steel with a rectangular section, or aluminum, with an aerodynamic profile. Steel is cheaper, but their carrying capacity is less. If you are planning to carry bulky goods or sports equipment, it is better to choose aluminum ones.

If we talk about autoboxes, then they should be made of durable plastic or aluminum. Such boxes do not interfere with the normal movement of the vehicle and do not lead to additional fuel consumption.

You need to choose the size and volume based on the amount of cargo, size and carrying capacity of the car. This data can be found in the documentation for the vehicle.
