How much weight can Sherpa racks carry?

Sherpa roof racks can handle an outstanding 300 lbs of dynamic weight capacity (when the vehicle is in motion), and an even greater 700 lbs static weight capacity (when the car is parked). This means their load rating is great and can literally carry any type of gear, from kayaks, to roof top tents.

Does a Sherpa rack come with warranty?

Yes, all Sherpa Equipment Co roof racks come with a lifetime warranty.

How complex is a Sherpa roof rack installation?

Installation is not complex, but we do recommend the help of at least one more person. Sherpa racks don’t require any drilling, meaning it’s a faster and even easier installation process. However, you do need to bolt them and tighten them over the existing factory roof mounting points.

Where are Sherpa Equipment Co racks manufactured?

Sherpa Equipment Co is a Colorado based company, and all their roof racks are USA made.

Prinsu vs Sherpa roof rack, which one is better?

This is a very common question and a difficult answer. Both racks have a very similar design, low profiled, with an easy slat/crossbar mounting and removal solution, made in USA and capable of holding lots of weight. Sherpa definitely can handle a larger weight capacity thanks to the aircraft grade aluminum side panel which is stronger and thicker. Nonetheless, Prinsu does have some additional aftermarket accessories, and the price point is slightly more affordable. In the end it comes down to you what you prefer, but both are excellent roof racks!

Are Sherpa offroad racks noisy?

Not at all. Sherpa racks are actually very low profile, and come with an included wind deflector, which helps cut the wind and reduce the noise a lot. Yes, we are looking at a roof rack, which means there will always be some noise and some whistling sound, but out of all the platform roof racks out there, Sherpa is amongst those making less noise.

Sherpa Vs Prinsu Roof Rack, which one is better?

In the end the decision comes down to you. These are both excellent roof rack choices, made in USA from similar materials and design. The Sherpa roof racks boast a thicker side panel, with slightly better rubber feet that go on the roof’s mounting points and tend to have a higher load rating. However, pricing is also higher.

Sherpa Vs Victory Roof Rack, which one is better?

Both companies make excellent roof racks, and in the end the choice comes down to what you want and need. Sherpa roof racks have thicker side panels at ¼” thick, made of aircraft grade aluminum, which give them a better load rating or weight capacity. Nonetheless, they are also slightly more expensive, so price does come into play.

How do you install a Sherpa Equipment Co Rack?

Installing a Sherpa Equipment roof rack will depend on the vehicle. Some attach to the gutter, others can be bolted on the vehicles’ roof factory mounting points, other will require you removing the roof liner. As you can see, some are faster and easier to install than others, but in short it comes down to the specific vehicle you have. Therefore, make sure to check the instructions that come with each Sherpa Equipment roof rack so you know exactly what to expect. The good thing is, most of Sherpa’s racks can be installed by yourself with the help of someone else.
