STS Set ProSafe MAN TGE 16 without C-rail 4 cross members

The professional van racking for the MAN TGE requires careful planning to both simplify daily work in the trades and strictly comply with legal load securing regulations. For craftsmen and service providers who rely on reliability and efficiency, Sortimo offers a state-of-the-art solution with the TopSystem ProSafe, which integrates seamlessly into the vehicle structure. The product in question is a specific set specifically tailored to the requirements of the MAN TGE. This is a set designed without C-rails, which enables particular flexibility during installation and in combination with other built-in components. The MAN TGE vehicle equipment benefits from this system, as it not only creates additional storage space but also significantly increases safety during transport. In contrast to conventional roof racks, the MAN TGE ProSafe van racking offers continuous lashing options, allowing loads to be transported securely and slip-resistant. This is particularly relevant for companies that regularly have to transport long or bulky goods, where a classic fastening with simple straps at individual points is insufficient or too unsafe.

The assembly and construction of this set are based on a robust and durable material selection that can withstand high mechanical loads. The set consists of four cross members with a length of 1650 millimetres. This precise dimensioning ensures that the roof surface of the vehicle is optimally utilised without unnecessary overhangs or wasted space. The use of four cross members instead of fewer allows for a more even load distribution on the vehicle roof, which increases the stability of the entire system. The materials used for manufacturing are carefully selected to prevent corrosion and wear. Thus, the load-bearing elements are made of aluminium, known for its low density and high strength, as well as steel, which is galvanised to provide effective protection against rust. Additionally, stainless steel components are used, particularly where the highest requirements are placed on durability and resistance to environmental influences. EPDM is used for the seals and pads, a synthetic rubber that is weather-resistant and elastic. Plastic components made of PA6 (polyamide 6) are also used to ensure low-friction movements and a long service life of the mechanical parts. This combination of materials ensures that the MAN TGE 16 cross member installation system functions reliably even under harsh conditions in daily professional use.

Technically, the system is designed for a variety of MAN TGE models. It fits vehicles of the model year from 2016 for the TGE model and from 2019 for the eTGE model. Furthermore, compatibility with the MAN TGE Panel Van Plus from the model year 2016 is given. The fit is independent of the chosen roof height, so the set is suitable for both vehicles with standard roof and high roof variants. In the manufacturer's designation, these correspond to roof heights H1 and H2. Important for the correct selection is the wheelbase of the vehicle. The system is designed for vehicles with a wheelbase of 3640 millimetres as well as 4490 millimetres. The rear opening variant with wing doors does not exclude installation, as the construction of the roof rack is designed in such a way that it does not obstruct access to the interior. The total weight of the set is 13.76 kilograms. This low weight is a decisive advantage, as it minimally affects the payload of the vehicle and thus helps to optimally utilise the maximum payload value of the vehicle. The load capacity of the individual cross members is up to 50 kilograms, whereby the specific maximum roof load of the respective vehicle model must always be observed.

The outstanding feature of this set is the integration of the ProSafe system. ProSafe is Sortimo's professional load securing system, which does not need to be retrofitted as separate accessories but is firmly incorporated into the roof rack construction. ProSafe is integrated into the roof rack over the entire length of the cross profiles. This means that the ProSafe lashing straps can be hooked on simply, quickly and without further accessories at any point on the cross members. This continuous groove geometry makes it possible to secure loads not only at fixed points but also across the entire surface. Additionally, rubber inserts are attached to the cross members. These serve not only for the additional fixation of the load by preventing slipping, but also protect the surface of the transported goods from damage due to friction or metal contact. This integrated lashing system is an essential component of the MAN TGE tool storage, as it ensures that tools and equipment transported on the roof are also secure and protected.

The areas of application for this system are diverse and cover the needs of various trade sectors. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters and other craftsmen who transport long materials such as pipes, profiles or boards benefit significantly from the continuous lashing option. The transport of bulky tool boxes or construction machinery on the roof is also facilitated by the system. Since the set is delivered without C-rails, it is ideal for users who primarily use the roof rack and do not require side mounting for drawers or shelves on the vehicle wall. This makes the system particularly flexible for use as a pure roof construction or in combination with other Sortimo systems mounted in other parts of the vehicle. The high service life of the system thanks to the corrosion-resistant materials guarantees that the investment remains usable for many years, even with frequent use outdoors.

The classification in the Sortimo system shows that this set is a central building block for a holistic van racking. It can be used continuously both at the original lashing points of the vehicle manufacturers and at the Sortimo van racking and at integrated lashing points in the vehicle floor. By upgrading the roof rack with ProSafe, you receive a holistic load securing system for your entire vehicle. This means that you have a strap system that fits everywhere, whether on the roof, in the interior or on the floor. For users who need more storage space, Sortimo offers accessories such as the load stop, which makes load securing on the roof even easier. This modularity is a key feature of the Sortimo MAN TGE installation systems. They enable the vehicle to be individually adapted to the respective workflows. Whether as an addition to an existing MAN TGE tool cabinet or as a standalone loading system, the set fits seamlessly into the existing infrastructure. The combination of roof rack and possible interior equipment creates an efficient working environment that saves time and increases productivity.

To answer frequently asked user questions: Which Sortimo set fits in the MAN TGE 16? The TopSystem Set ProSafe MAN TGE 16 without C-rail is the right choice for vehicles with this wheelbase, provided that no C-rail is required. Is the Sortimo ProSafe MAN TGE set with C-rail compatible? The set described is explicitly delivered without C-rail. However, it is possible to install other Sortimo systems that use C-rails in parallel or at other locations in the vehicle, observing the specific installation instructions. How many cross members does the Sortimo MAN TGE 16 set have? The set contains four cross members with a length of 1650 mm. Which materials does Sortimo use for the MAN TGE installation systems? High-quality materials such as aluminium, galvanised steel, stainless steel, EPDM and PA6 are used to ensure stability and corrosion protection. Does the Sortimo set fit in the MAN TGE with high roof H2? Yes, the system is designed for standard roof and high roof (H1 and H2) and thus also fits in vehicles with high roof H2.

In conclusion, the TopSystem Set ProSafe MAN TGE 16 without C-rail represents a professional and well-thought-out solution for the MAN TGE vehicle equipment.
