The Ironman 4×4 Atlas Platform Racks are constructed of extruded aluminium beams, secured within an extruded aluminium perimeter. The racks are designed with the beams running perpendicular to the vehicle (side to side, rather than front to back). This setup makes for easier loading and securing of cargo, with far less chance of longer items dropping down and hitting your roof.   Platform racks are perfect for carrying a huge range of accessories and loads including gas bottles and jerry cans, swags and soft luggage, spare tyres, and chainsaws.   The Platform racks are available in three different lengths, and three different widths across a total of six variations to ensure an application that suits your needs.  

CAPACITY & WEIGHT

The full specs can be found in our appropriately named ‘Specs Table’ below. However, the crux of it is that these platforms are going to be stronger than any vehicle or fibreglass or ABS canopy roof load limit. For steel canopies, you can expect to hold at least 100kg dynamically. A platform kit, including all mounting hardware, weighs between 24kg and 39kg. It is imperative that you subtract these total weights from the total roof load limit outlined by your vehicle’s manufacturer!   NO OFF-ROAD ASTERISKS: Unlike some manufacturers, the Ironman 4×4 Atlas has one rating and it applies whether you are on the black-top, corrugated dirt roads, sand, or rocky tracks.  

BLADE SYSTEM

Atlas platform racks are secured to most vehicles via a reinforced, stainless-steel blade, and can be affixed to an Ironman 4×4 canopy via a pedestal mount.  

LOUD NOISES

Roof racks WILL inarguably add some additional noise to your vehicle. If you have been told someone has a ‘silent’ one, they are confused; or it’s mounted to their canopy and they just can’t hear the additional noise it’s making in the canopy. All options within the Atlas system have been tested and designed to minimise this noise as much as possible. Taking a closer look you will see a small, unintrusive but very effective wind deflector under the front leading beam of our Atlas Platforms. Additionally, the soft rubber inserts in the front and rear T-slots additionally are provided to reduce wind noise. Finally, the rack can be adjusted in its position forward and backward up to 20mm once installed to find the sweet spot!
