TopSystem Set ProSafe Ford Custom 3 cross members

The installation of professional van racking requires careful planning that takes into account both cargo security and efficiency in daily operations. For craftsmen and service providers who are on the road with the Ford Transit Custom, the optimal use of the load space and the roof area represents a central challenge. This is where the van racking from Sortimo comes in, offering a modular and high-performance solution with the TopSystem. The focus is on the combination of robust design, simple handling, and maximum security. In particular, the TopSystem Set ProSafe for the Ford Custom 3 cross members forms the foundation for seamless organization in the panel van. It combines the advantages of a stable roof rack with an integrated load securing system that is specifically tailored to the requirements of professional craftsmen. Through precise adaptation to the vehicle geometry, it is ensured that every centimeter of the roof surface can be used effectively without endangering driving safety or the payload limits of the vehicle.

The construction and design of the roof rack are based on a high-quality lightweight construction that can still withstand the highest loads. The cross members are made of aluminum, which ensures a low self-weight and thus maximizes the available payload in the vehicle. Nevertheless, the necessary stability is guaranteed by the use of steel, which is galvanized, as well as elements made of stainless steel. This combination of materials ensures high corrosion resistance and longevity, even under adverse weather conditions. To protect the vehicle body and the transported goods, seals made of EPDM and plastic components made of PA6 are used. These materials not only prevent the cargo from slipping and scratching, but also dampen noises that can arise from wind or travel. The version as a set with three cross members with a length of 1550 millimeters makes it possible to cover the roof surface of the Transit Custom almost completely. This is particularly important for transporting large, bulky items such as roof gutters, pipes, or long components safely and aerodynamically.

The technical specifications refer to a set that is specifically designed for certain model variants of the Ford Transit Custom. The total weight of the set is 8.38 kilograms, which facilitates installation and minimally loads the payload of the vehicle. The length of the cross members of 1550 millimeters is dimensioned so that it optimally utilizes the available space between the roof rails. The set is suitable for vehicles with front-wheel drive and standard roof in the H1 version. It is important to consider the wheelbase, as the set is designed for models with a wheelbase of 2933 millimeters as well as those with 3300 millimeters. This includes both the standard body and the crew van. The rear opening variant does not play a restrictive role for the installation of the cross members, as the system is suitable for all variants of the rear opening. The load capacity is up to 50 kilograms per cross member, whereby the maximum roof load specified by the vehicle manufacturer must always be observed.

The areas of application for this set are diverse and range from electricians to plumbers to installers. Typical uses include the transport of long, bulky goods that do not fit in the interior, as well as the attachment of tool cases or shelves that can be connected to the roof rack via the TopSystem. Tool storage in the Ford Transit Custom vehicle is significantly facilitated by this structure, as it creates a clear separation between the mobile cargo on the roof and the stationary equipment in the interior. Craftsmen benefit from the fact that they can transport frequently needed parts on the roof without overloading the interior. This is particularly advantageous in narrow construction pits or when parking space is limited, as access to the interior is not blocked. In addition, the high stability of the system enables the safe transport of heavy toolboxes, provided that the weight distribution is observed.

A key advantage of this set is the integration of the ProSafe system. In contrast to conventional roof racks, where lashing straps often have to be routed around or require additional brackets, the ProSafe system is seamlessly incorporated into the cross profiles. This offers several decisive advantages for daily use.

The classification into the Sortimo system is a central aspect that increases the long-term benefit of the investment. The TopSystem is not to be regarded as an isolated component, but as part of a modular, mutually coordinated ecosystem. The Sortimo roof rack serves as a carrier structure to which various elements such as shelves, drawers, or brackets can be attached. The ProSafe system connects the roof rack with the lashing points in the vehicle floor and the original lashing points of the manufacturer. This networking makes it possible to secure the entire cargo in the vehicle, from the roof to the floor, uniformly and safely. For fleet vehicle van racking Ford Transit Custom Sortimo, this is of particular interest as it ensures standardized processes and uniform safety technology in the entire vehicle fleet. The compatibility with accessories such as the load limiter makes it possible to further optimize the transport capacity and simplify the handling of loads.

To eliminate common uncertainties regarding selection and installation, here is the answer to the most important user questions. Which cross members fit into my Ford Transit Custom?
