Rhino Rack SX028 Operating instructions

  • Hello! I'm your assistant, and I've reviewed the Rhino-Rack instructions for crossbars SX027, SX028, SX030, SX043, VA106S, VA106B, VA118S, VA118B, VA126S, VA126B. I understand the importance of proper load distribution, and the different weight limits for urban and off-road conditions. I'm ready to answer your questions about these roof rack crossbars.
  • What is the maximum load capacity for urban roads with two crossbars?
    What is the maximum off-road load limit with two crossbars?
    What should I do with the crossbars before going through an automatic car wash?
    Can I rigidly fix items to both the cabin and canopy roof racks on a utility vehicle?

x to either the cabin roofracks or the canopy roofracks.

Maximum load capacity: 50/100kg - 110/220lbs evenly distributed over all crossbars. Please refer to your vehicle
manufacturers handbook for maximum roof load capacity, always use the lower of the two gures. Load gures
shown reect the use of two bars.
Recommendations:
It is essential that all bolt connections be checked after driving a short distance when you rst install your crossbars.
Bolt connections should be checked and lubricated at regular intervals (probably once a week is enough, depending
on road conditions, usage, loads and distances travelled). You should also check the crossbars each time they are
retted. Make sure to fasten your load securely. Please ensure that all loads are evenly distributed and that the centre
of gravity is kept as low as possible. Crossbars must be removed when putting vehicle through an automatic car
wash. Use only non-stretch fastening ropes or straps.
Caution: The handling characteristics of the vehicle changes when you transport a load on the roof. For safety rea-
sons we recommend you exercise extreme care when transporting wind-resistant loads. Special consideration must
be taken into account when cornering and braking.
Off-road Load Rating:
When crossbars are to be used in off-road conditions, please build a safety factor of 1.5 into this load limit for off-road
use, two crossbars = 33/66kg - 73/145lbs. Although the crossbars are tested and approved to AS1235-2000, off-road
conditions can be much more rigorous. However, increasing the number of crossbars does not increase the vehicles
maximum permissible roof loading.
Note for Dealers and Fitters:
It is your responsibility to ensure instructions are given to the end user or client.
