TopSystem Set Eco ProSafe VW Crafter High Roof (H2) 4 Cross Members

The professional outfitting of commercial vehicles requires thoughtful planning that combines safety, efficiency, and durability. For craftsmen, service providers, and fleet operators, optimizing the main transport space is often crucial for daily operations. The TopSystem Set Eco ProSafe VW Crafter offers a comprehensive solution here, specifically designed for the requirements of the Volkswagen Crafter in the high roof variant. This is not just a simple roof rack, but a modular system that intelligently links load securing, tool storage, and space utilization. Particularly for emergency services personnel who regularly transport bulky goods, long materials, or extensive equipment, this set represents a valuable extension. It enables safe and space-saving transport on the vehicle roof, while the interior remains free for other tasks. The integration of a continuous load securing system directly into the carrier structure characterizes this product from Sortimo and sets it apart from conventional solutions.

The assembly of the set is based on a robust construction that prioritizes both lightweight design and stability. At its core, four cross members form the basis of the mounting. These are dimensioned to optimally utilize the available roof surface of the vehicle. The length of the individual cross members is exactly 1550 millimeters. This specific dimensioning ensures that the carriers make the best possible use of the side boundaries of the roof without interfering with the roof gutters or other vehicle components. This is particularly important to create a maximally stable support surface for the load to be secured. The cross members are not to be viewed in isolation, but together with the mounting material and support feet form a solid whole. The support feet ensure the necessary distance from the vehicle roof and distribute the loads evenly on the roof skin to avoid damage to the sheet metal. The design is functional and aesthetically restrained, so that it fits seamlessly into the appearance of the van.

When it comes to the materials used, Sortimo places great emphasis on quality and durability. The construction consists of a combination of aluminum, steel, which is galvanically galvanized, as well as stainless steel and technical plastics such as PA6 and EPDM. Aluminum is used to keep the weight of the system low. A low weight is crucial because it does not unnecessarily burden the maximum payload of the vehicle and thus increases the efficiency of logistics. The steel component, particularly in the fasteners and reinforcements, ensures the necessary strength. The galvanic galvanization protects this area from corrosion, which significantly extends the service life of the system, even in harsh weather conditions. Stainless steel is used where the highest requirements are placed on rust resistance, for example in screw-fastened connecting elements. The plastics PA6 and EPDM serve as seals, bearings, or protective layers. EPDM rubber inserts on the cross members not only prevent the load from slipping, but also protect sensitive surfaces of the transported goods from scratches and damage. The total weight of the set is 11.57 kilograms, which is considered very low in relation to the load capacity.

The technical specifications are precisely matched to the vehicle model. The TopSystem Set Eco ProSafe is designed for the VW Crafter in the model year range from 2006 to 2015. It fits into all three available wheelbases, namely 3250 mm, 3665 mm, and 4325 mm. This makes the set universally applicable, regardless of which chassis variant is available in the fleet. The high roof shape, designated as H2 by the manufacturer, offers sufficient space for the mounting of the cross members. The type of drive, whether rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, has no influence on the fit of the roof rack. Likewise, the rear opening variant, here wing doors, plays no role for the mounting on the roof. The load capacity per cross member is up to 50 kilograms. However, this specification is always to be viewed in the context of the maximum roof load of the respective vehicle chassis. The driver must always observe the specifications of the vehicle manufacturer regarding the permissible roof load to not endanger traffic safety and warranty claims.

In terms of application, the strength of the system is evident above all where long or bulky goods must be transported. Typical applications include the transport of roof gutters, window frames, long wooden planks, pipes, or even large LED luminaires. By attaching them to the roof, the interior of the vehicle is kept free for tool storage VW Crafter or for the transport of persons. This is particularly advantageous for renovators, electricians, carpenters, or solar installers. The system enables quick access to the load, as it is located outside the passenger compartment. In addition, the view to the rear is not restricted by the roof, as long as the load does not exceed the height and does not obscure the rear lights. The simple assembly and disassembly, if the roof is needed for other purposes, contributes to flexibility in daily work.

The advantages of this set are obvious and encompass several aspects of vehicle use.

The classification into the Sortimo system is central to the utility of the product. The TopSystem is modular and can be expanded as desired. The TopSystem Set Eco ProSafe is the basis for the roof area. In combination with other elements, a complete fleet outfitting Crafter is created. Thus, the roof rack can be combined with brackets for ladders, pipes, or cases. The ProSafe System Crafter is the red thread: It is a continuous load securing system. The lashing points are not only integrated in the roof rack, but can also be found at the original lashing points of the vehicle manufacturer, at the van racking in the interior, and at integrated lashing points in the vehicle floor. This means that the ProSafe lashing straps can be hooked in wherever they are needed. This connectivity is a unique selling point of Sortimo. For tool transport in the interior, the aluminum shelf module Van can be used, which can also be connected to the ProSafe points. This creates a uniform concept for the entire load securing in the vehicle. The possibility of expanding the system with accessories such as the load limiter further increases the practicability. This makes work at the site of deployment more efficient, as less time is spent securing the load and the equipment is quickly at hand.

For customers looking for a specific solution, specific questions often arise regarding suitability and equipment. Which TopSystem Set fits in my VW Crafter H2? The answer is that the TopSystem Set Eco ProSafe VW Crafter was specifically developed for this vehicle combination. It takes into account the dimensions of the high roof and the mounting points of the chassis. How many cross members does the ProSafe Set for the Crafter contain? The set consists of four cross members. Is the TopSystem Eco ProSafe suitable for the Crafter with wing doors? Yes, the mounting of the cross members on the roof has no influence on the function of the wing doors at the rear. The construction is planned in such a way that it does not affect the opening width of the doors. What materials are used for the TopSystem cross members? As already mentioned, the system consists of a mixture of aluminum, galvanically galvanized steel, stainless steel, PA6, and EPDM. This combination of materials guarantees lightness while being robust. Does the Sortimo Set fit in the Crafter with 4325 mm wheelbase? Yes, the set is compatible with all three wheelbases, including the long wheelbase of 4325 mm.
