GOBI Ranger Roof Rack
As previously mentioned, GOBI is renowned for manufacturing some of the most robust roof racks on the market. What makes them stand out in terms of toughness and endurance? GOBI racks are meticulously welded and coated with a black powder finish, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion in harsh conditions. Their screwless construction means you won't encounter any rattling noises on the road, even when your rack is fully loaded.
Moreover, the GOBI Ranger roof rack boasts exceptional strength, with a static load capacity of 800lbs and a dynamic weight capacity of 300lbs, providing ample support for all your equipment and a rooftop tent. For added convenience, an optional bolt-on ladder simplifies access to the rack for attaching accessories. Unlike conventional platform racks with crossbars, the GOBI rack features a versatile mesh platform, combining style with durability and enabling easy gear attachment.
Furthermore, steel tubing around the platform perimeter ensures cargo security during transit. Installation is hassle-free and requires no drilling. This adaptable system includes two removable crossbars for a rooftop tent and an integrated wind deflector, enhancing aerodynamics and minimizing noise even at high speeds.

GOBI Roof Rack Safety Guidelines
While GOBI roof racks are built tough and can easily support double the weight of the suggested load limits, it's important to remember there's an optimal weight limit to maintain the stability and safety of your vehicle both on-road and off-road.
WHY WEIGHT MATTERS:
- Vehicle Stability During Highway Swerving: Overloading can shift the vehicle’s center of gravity. In situations where a sudden swerve is necessary, an overloaded vehicle may become difficult to control, posing a higher risk of accidents.
- Handling in High Winds: A vehicle carrying excess weight, especially if not distributed evenly, is more vulnerable to strong winds. The added weight can make it challenging to steer correctly in gusty conditions.
- Maneuvering Curves on Highways: An overloaded vehicle may struggle to maintain its lane during curves. The extra weight can cause the vehicle to drift or respond sluggishly to steering.
OTHER CRITICAL FACTORS INFLUENCED BY THE WEIGHT INCLUDE:
- Breaking Efficiency: The heavier the vehicle, the longer it might take to come to a complete stop, increasing the risk of accidents.
- Suspension & Tire Wear: Excess weight can cause premature wear on your vehicle’s suspension and tires. This not only results in additional maintenance costs but can also compromise safety.
TIPS FOR SAFE LOADING:
- Distribute Weight Evenly: ensure that the weight on your rack is balanced on all sides to avoid tilting or pulling in one direction.
- Secure All Items: Always check that everything is tightly secured. Loose items can shift during driving, affecting stability or potentially becoming a hazard.
- Regularly Inspect Equipment: Before every adventure, inspect your rack and cargo for any signs of wear, damage, or potential issues. Promptly address any concerns.
- Adhere to Manufacturer’s Recommendations: Always refer to your vehicle’s owner manual for specific weight restrictions and recommendations. This ensures you’re not exceeding any limits set by the vehicle manufacturer.
- Adjust Driving Style: When carrying cargo, especially close to the weight limit, adapt your driving style. Drive slower, take turns with care, and increase your following distance.
