Sherpa Equipment Co. Roof Track Load Bar System (Pair) — The Professional Low-Profile Alternative

For many adventurers, a full-length roof rack is more than they need, but basic factory crossbars just don't cut it. The Sherpa Equipment Co. Roof Track Load Bar System is engineered to fill that gap. Designed to integrate seamlessly with vehicles, campers, or canopies equipped with roof tracks (M6 or M8), these load bars provide a rock-solid, aircraft-grade aluminum foundation for your gear. Whether you are mounting solar panels to a truck topper or a rooftop tent for a weekend escape, Sherpa’s load bars offer the industry-leading strength and precision the brand is famous for, in a more streamlined package.

Proudly manufactured in Colorado, these bars utilize Sherpa's signature 6061 aluminum extrusion, which is significantly stronger and more durable than the 5052 aluminum often used by competitors. This system isn't just a set of universal bars—it’s a precision-engineered mounting solution. By using thicker materials and a shorter primary load path, Sherpa ensures that every pound of gear is supported efficiently, minimizing vibration and maximizing the life of your vehicle's roof tracks.

Unmatched Versatility with Flat and Contoured Mounts

One of the biggest challenges with universal load bars is the curvature of modern vehicle roofs and canopies. Sherpa solves this by including both Flat and Contoured adjustable mounting feet in every kit. This allows you to choose the perfect base for your specific application, ensuring a level and secure fit regardless of the roof’s profile. This attention to detail eliminates the frustration of "leaning" crossbars and provides a truly flat mounting surface—essential for distributing the weight of heavy cargo or rooftop tents evenly.

Low-Profile, High-Strength Design

Sherpa is known for having some of the lowest-profile racks on the market, and this load bar system is no exception. With an adjustable height range (between 2” and 3-5/16”), you can tuck your gear as close to the roof as possible to improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise. Despite their slim appearance, these bars are rated for 100 lbs dynamic (in motion) and significantly higher static weight per bar. The integrated T-slot channels on all four sides of the crossbar allow for endless mounting possibilities using standard 1/4"-20 hardware.

Straightforward, Track-Ready Installation

This system is a **100% bolt-on solution** for any vehicle with a roof track system. By utilizing the existing tracks on your camper shell (like ARE, Leer, or SnugTop) or your SUV's factory tracks, you can have a professional-grade rack installed in under 30 minutes. The kit comes complete with two crossbars, adjustable mounts, and all necessary stainless steel hardware. Because Sherpa uses stainless hardware, you never have to worry about rust or corrosion compromising your setup, no matter how many salty winters or muddy trails you encounter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Flat and Contoured mounts?

Flat mounts are designed for level surfaces like truck toppers or flat camper roofs. Contoured mounts are designed for vehicles with a slight curve in the roofline. Sherpa includes both in every kit so you can choose the best fit during installation.

Will these work with my ARE or Leer canopy?

Yes. If your canopy is equipped with a standard T-slot roof track (Yakima, Rhino-Rack, or Thule style), these load bars will bolt directly into them.

Can I mount a rooftop tent to these bars?

Yes. These are heavy-duty 6061 aluminum bars. When used as a pair, they are more than capable of supporting a rooftop tent and occupants, provided your roof tracks are rated for the load.
