    nice idea makes a lot a sense but cant clarify if it will take 2500 x1250 sheets which are quite common now.

    Came across this on Linkedin the other day, what a genius idea!!

    A 10 x 5ft version would be ideal.

    not the end of the world, but the problem is that it is on the roof.
    10ft x 5ft sheets would be even trickier!

    Regardless, still a good add on to have and frees up space in the back of the van.

    I’ve been considering getting another van, even though I’ve made a system to out 8×4 securely in the truck, been thinking of a smaller van (Vito/custom size) and this might just be the deciding factor!!

    Excellent idea. My van is quite small so I rely on the roof rack sometimes to transport 8×4 sheets but it needs to be carefully tied down and is open to the elements. Also I can’t carry a ladder at the same time. This solution seems ideal for anyone with a smallish van that needs to transport large sheet materials along with all their tools.

    Thinking about buying one of these, is anyone using one and would they recommend it?

    Thanks

    i still think these are a great add-on as it will free up space. but i imagine the wind-drag will cost you long term. we have had some bulky roofracks in the past and it is a noticable drive with and without. the wind drag definately adds to the fuel costs.

    That said, Rhino roofracks do offer a nice range. i was looking at them just recently.
