TopSystem Set ProSafe Ford Custom 23 2 cross members

The transport of tools, materials, and bulky goods in professional trades requires a well-thought-out van racking system that optimally combines safety, efficiency, and space utilization. For craftsmen using the Ford Transit Custom or the electric E-Transit Custom, extending the load space with a roof solution represents a sensible investment. The TopSystem Set ProSafe Ford Custom 23 2 cross members by Sortimo provides a robust and precisely coordinated base for this purpose. This set is specifically designed for vehicles from the model year 2023 onwards and closes a gap in vehicle equipment by not only expanding the existing roof area but also making it safely usable through an integrated load securing system. The focus here is on the combination of lightweight aluminium and high-strength steel components to avoid unnecessarily loading the vehicle's permissible roof load, while simultaneously ensuring maximum stability.

The construction of this roof rack is based on the proven TopSystem by Sortimo, which is characterized by modular expandability and high material quality. At the center of the set are two cross members with a length of 1550 millimetres. This dimension is crucial as it allows for exact adaptation to the roof width of the mentioned Ford models. The cross members consist of aluminium, which ensures low mass and thus a higher usable payload. For stabilization and connection to the vehicle body, components made of galvanised steel and stainless steel are used, which are corrosion-resistant and thus guarantee a long service life even under harsh weather conditions. Additionally, seals and bearings made of EPDM as well as plastic components made of PA6 are used, which dampen vibrations and prevent scratch damage to the vehicle roof. The total weight of the set is only 5.72 kilograms, which underlines the efficiency of the lightweight construction.

When selecting the right vehicle components, exact coordination with the model is indispensable. The TopSystem Set ProSafe Ford Custom 23 is compatible with the Ford Transit Custom and the E-Transit Custom from the model year 2023. This includes both front-wheel drive models and those with all-wheel drive, with the type of drive not posing a restriction for installation. Particularly relevant for the perfect fit are the wheelbase and roof shape. The set is designed for vehicles with a wheelbase of 3100 millimetres and 3500 millimetres. The roof shape corresponds to the manufacturer's designation H1, i.e., the standard roof. These specific data are crucial to ensure that the cross members do not protrude into the window frames or impair the opening of the rear door. The compatibility extends to various rear opening variants, both the classic tailgate and the wing door, which increases the flexibility of the equipment in everyday use.

A key feature of this set is the integration of the ProSafe system. ProSafe is Sortimo's professional load securing system, which is seamlessly incorporated into the roof rack profile structure. A groove is present along the entire length of the cross profile, into which the special ProSafe lashing straps can be hooked. This enables quick and easy securing of the load without the need for additional accessories such as knurled screws or separate brackets. The load securing thus takes place directly on the profile groove, saving time and simplifying handling on the construction site or with the customer. In addition, rubber inserts are attached to the cross members, which not only prevent the transported goods from slipping but also protect sensitive surfaces from damage. This combination of non-slip surface and integrated lashing point represents a holistic safety concept.

The use of high-quality materials such as aluminium for the main carrier and galvanised steel for the connecting elements ensures high durability. The TopSystem is corrosion-resistant and withstands the daily stresses in the trades. The load capacity of a single cross member is up to 50 kilograms. However, the maximum roof load of the respective vehicle, as defined in the manufacturer's vehicle documents, must always be observed. The minimal own weight of the roof rack due to the lightweight construction makes it possible to optimally utilize the maximum payload of the vehicle without unnecessarily consuming load capacity through the weight of the equipment itself. This efficiency is a central advantage for commercial users who need every kilogram of payload for their work.

For craftsmen, the equipment with the TopSystem Set ProSafe Ford Custom 23 2 cross members offers numerous advantages that facilitate daily work and increase safety.

The classification into the Sortimo system shows how flexibly the van racking can be designed. The TopSystem is modular and can be combined with numerous accessories. For example, the roof rack can be extended with load stops or brackets for long profiles. The ProSafe lashing points can be used not only on the roof but also at the original lashing points of the vehicle, at the Sortimo van racking in the interior, and at integrated lashing points in the vehicle floor. This creates a continuous load securing concept throughout the vehicle. For tool storage inside the Ford Custom 2023, there are complementary solutions that form an optimal overall system together with the roof rail. The combination of interior and equipment makes it possible to transport various goods sorted and safely.
