STS Set ProSafe MAN TGE 16 without C-rail 3 cross members

For craftsmen and service providers who rely on maximum efficiency and order in their transport vehicles, the vehicle’s equipment is a central element of daily success. The MAN TGE van racking requires thoughtful planning to optimally utilize both the interior space and the roof area. The present set from Sortimo’s TopSystem ProSafe series offers a professional solution here for the secure transport of cargo on the load space. It is a specialized system specifically tailored to the conditions of the MAN TGE, helping to meaningfully exploit the available storage space. For many professionals, the question of which Sortimo installation systems fit into the MAN TGE is relevant, as compatibility with the respective vehicle variants is crucial. This set focuses on roof mounting and provides a robust base for load securing, which fits seamlessly into the existing infrastructure.

The assembly and construction of the set are characterized by high stability and durability. It consists of three cross members with a length of 1650 millimeters. This dimensioning is chosen to exactly utilize the vehicle’s roof surface, thereby providing maximum load space. The materials were carefully selected to meet the high demands of professional daily life. Aluminum forms the basic structure of the cross members and ensures a lightweight design that minimizes the system’s own weight. This is a decisive advantage, as the minimal own weight of the roof rack allows for maximum payload of the vehicle. For stabilization and protection of the vehicle surface, components made of galvanized steel and stainless steel are used. These metals offer excellent corrosion protection, which underscores the high service life of the system. Additionally, EPDM and PA6 are included in the design, indicating high-quality seals and plastic components that ensure vibration-free mounting and gentle holding at the fastening points.

The technical data of the set are precisely matched to the vehicle model. The total weight of the set is 8.98 kg, which must be taken into account when calculating the permissible total mass of the vehicle. The design includes three cross members, referred to as ProSafe cross members. The set is compatible with the vehicle manufacturer MAN and the models TGE from model year 2016, eTGE from model year 2019, as well as the TGE Panel Van Plus from 2016. Regarding wheelbases, the system supports both the variant with 3640 mm and the one with 4490 mm. With regard to roof shapes, standard roof and high roof are covered, with the manufacturer designations H1 and H2 being relevant. The information regarding the rear opening variant is also important, as the set is designed for vehicles with wing doors. This specific configuration ensures that no conflicts arise with the vehicle geometry and that the cross members can be mounted securely.

The primary areas of application lie in securing cargo on the vehicle roof. The integrated ProSafe load securing system is incorporated along the entire length of the cross profiles. This means that lashing straps can be hooked on easily, quickly, and without additional accessories at any point on the cross member. ProSafe is Sortimo’s professional load securing system and offers continuous compatibility. It can be used not only at the original lashing points of the vehicle manufacturers but also on Sortimo van racking and integrated lashing points in the vehicle floor. By upgrading the roof rack with ProSafe, craftsmen receive a holistic load securing system for the entire vehicle. This creates a strap system that fits everywhere and increases safety when transporting bulky and long objects. For those looking for an installation box for MAN TGE Panel Van Plus, this roof system offers the perfect complement to the interior equipment.

The additional rubber inserts on the cross members not only prevent the cargo from slipping during transit but also protect it from damage due to friction or pressure points. The maximum roof load of the respective vehicle must always be observed to avoid endangering driving safety. The system is designed so that it can also function as part of a larger vehicle conversion MAN TGE with Sortimo systems. It can be harmoniously combined with other components such as a MAN TGE 3640 wheelbase tool cabinet to ensure seamless organization of tools and materials.

A look at the details of the material combination shows the care taken in product development. The use of stainless steel and galvanized steel at critical points ensures that the system remains resistant even under adverse weather conditions. The aluminum profile provides the necessary lightness to avoid unnecessarily burdening the payload. This is particularly relevant for craftsmen who are on the road daily with heavy equipment. Every kilogram saved through lightweight construction is available for the actual work. The PA6 components contribute to noise reduction, which improves driving comfort and protects the cargo. EPDM seals ensure that no water can penetrate the fastening points, further increasing the durability of the mounting.

For practice, this means a clear list of advantages for use in professional daily life:

The classification within the Sortimo system shows that this is not an isolated product, but rather a modular concept. The TOPsystem MAN TGE 16 can be expanded with numerous other components. Thus, the MAN TGE van racking can be supplemented with drawers, shelves, or built-in compartments to also professionally utilize the interior space. The Sortimo cross members MAN TGE are part of this large ecosystem. For users interested in a TOPsystem ProSafe for MAN TGE high roof, the set offers the ideal foundation for upper load securing. The possibility of combining the system with other Sortimo accessories MAN TGE components makes it a future-proof investment. For example, those planning a MAN TGE tool storage will find the ProSafe technology a suitable complement for the roof area.

To clarify common questions regarding application and purchase, it is helpful to examine the specific characteristics more closely. Many interested parties ask how much the Sortimo ProSafe MAN TGE 16 weighs. The total weight of the set is 8.98 kg, which must be taken into account in the vehicle’s weight planning. Another frequent question concerns use in the electric counterpart of the vehicle. Yes, the Sortimo MAN TGE can also be used in the eTGE, as the set is explicitly approved for the eTGE from model year 2019. This shows the flexibility of the system, which covers both combustion engine and electric vehicles.
