TopSystem Set ProSafe MB Sprinter High Roof (H2) 3 Cross Members

The optimal use of the load space and secure fastening of the load are indispensable components of the daily work routine for professional tradespeople and service providers. When equipping transport vehicles, particularly commercial vehicles from the Mercedes-Benz brand such as the Sprinter, it is important to choose systems that are not only robust and durable but also offer maximum flexibility in load securing. The TopSystem Set ProSafe MB Sprinter High Roof (H2) with three cross members represents such a solution. It combines the proven stability of the Sortimo TopSystem with the innovative load securing system ProSafe. This set is specifically designed for vehicles with a high roof (roof shape H2) and enables the upper roof surface to be used effectively for tool storage or the transport of bulky goods. By integrating ProSafe directly into the cross members, the often tedious and time-consuming step of searching for separate fastening points or mounting additional materials is eliminated. Instead, a continuous securing option is available, which reduces working time and increases safety on the road.

The construction of the set is based on three cross members with a length of 1550 millimetres. This dimension is chosen to optimally utilise the available roof width of the Mercedes Sprinter High Roof without affecting the vehicle structure. The cross members consist of high-quality materials that ensure high load-bearing capacity and long service life. The main carrier body is made of aluminium, which is known for its good strength-to-weight ratio. This is crucial, as every kilogram of tare weight reduces the usable payload of the vehicle. Steel components, which are galvanised, are used for stabilisation and to absorb mechanical loads. This galvanising offers excellent protection against corrosion, which is particularly advantageous when used outdoors or under adverse weather conditions. Additionally, stainless steel and EPDM components as well as parts made of PA6 (polyamide 6) are installed. EPDM, a synthetic rubber, is often used here as a sealing material or for low-vibration mounting, while PA6 is used for specific connecting elements or brackets that must withstand high mechanical stress. The total weight of the set is 8.80 kilograms, which is considered very low in relation to the stability provided and thus does not unnecessarily burden the maximum payload of the vehicle.

When it comes to which cross members fit exactly into the Mercedes Sprinter High Roof, compatibility with various model series and model years is crucial. The TopSystem Set ProSafe MB Sprinter High Roof (H2) is designed for a wide range of Sprinter models. It fits into the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter from model years 2006 to 2017 as well as the newer models from 2018 onwards. Various wheelbases are supported, namely 3250 mm, 3259 mm, 3665 mm, 3924 mm and 4325 mm. This means that both vehicles with short and long wheelbases can be equipped with this system. Compatibility with the e-Sprinter is also given. The electric drive does not exclude the use of the roof rack, as the system is mechanically and not electrically driven. For the e-Sprinter from model years 2019 to 2022 and from 2023 onwards, the equipment is available. Variants with rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive are also covered. Particularly noteworthy is the compatibility with the Sprinter Crew Van from model year 2018. However, when installing, attention must be paid to the specific roof shape and the available surface area, as the geometry differs from the standard cab. The wing door as a rear opening variant is not affected by the installation of the cross members, as the system sits on the roof longitudinal rails or the designated mounts and respects the door opening clearance.

The areas of application for this set are diverse and range from classic tool storage to the transport of building materials to the securing of bulky equipment. Tradespeople who often travel long distances to their work sites benefit from the additional storage capacity that the roof of the van offers. By installing the TopSystem ProSafe cross member, the vehicle equipment Mercedes Sprinter is effectively expanded. Typical applications are the transport of long profiles, pipes or construction panels that do not fit in the interior of the vehicle. However, storage of light but voluminous items such as insulation material or empty containers is also possible. The integrated ProSafe technology plays a central role here. The ProSafe system is incorporated into the roof rack over the entire cross profile length. This means that the lashing straps provided can be hooked on not only at fixed points but at any position along the cross member. This flexibility is particularly advantageous when the load has irregular shapes or cannot be positioned exactly centred. Additionally, rubber inserts on the cross members prevent the load from slipping during the journey and protect it from damage due to friction or metal contact.

The advantages of this system are obvious and distinguish it from conventional roof racks. - Integrated load securing system ProSafe allows the lashing straps to be hooked on at any point along the cross member length. - No need for additional fastening material or separate lashing points on the roof surface. - High stability and durability through the use of aluminium, galvanised steel and stainless steel. - Low tare weight of 8.80 kg to avoid unnecessarily burdening the maximum payload of the vehicle. - Wide range of compatibility for Mercedes Sprinter models from 2006 to the present, including e-Sprinter. - Protection of the load and the vehicle high roof by EPDM rubber inserts, which dampen vibrations and prevent scratches. - Simple installation, as the set is delivered including support feet and mounting material. - Maximum utilisation of the roof surface by three cross members with a length of 1550 mm.

The classification within the Sortimo system shows how this set fits into a holistic van racking concept. The ProSafe system is not to be viewed in isolation, but is part of a consistent concept from Sortimo. It can be used 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. This creates a uniform securing concept throughout the vehicle. For the vehicle equipment Mercedes Sprinter, this means that the interior and exterior can be seamlessly connected. Those who already rely on Sortimo elements such as shelves or drawers in the interior can apply the same securing principles on the roof. This increases clarity and safety when loading. In addition, the system is expandable. With ProSafe system accessories, such as the load stop, the functionality of the cross members can be further increased. These helpers ensure that the load remains securely fixed even during emergency braking manoeuvres or cornering. The combination of TopSystem ProSafe accessories and the cross members makes it possible to create individual solutions for specific transport tasks.

To clarify common questions about installation and suitability, it is helpful to look more closely at the technical conditions. Many customers ask how many cross members are necessary for the vehicle equipment. For the Mercedes Sprinter High Roof (H2), three cross members are supplied in this set. This number represents a compromise between stability, load-bearing capacity and the possibility of spanning large objects. Three cross members are usually sufficient to stabilise the roof surface and provide sufficient fastening points for the lashing straps. Another important point is the suitability for the e-Sprinter. Since the TopSystem ProSafe system primarily relies on mechanical fastening and not on electrical components, it is fully suitable for the e-Sprinter. The electrical components of the vehicle are not affected by the installation of the roof rack. Regarding the material of the Sortimo cross members, the main structure consists of aluminium, supplemented by galvanised steel for the connections and stainless steel and EPDM for specific functions. This combination of materials guarantees high resistance to weather influences and mechanical stress. Finally, the question of whether the set is also available for the Sprinter Crew Van: Yes, the TopSystem Set ProSafe is available for the Sprinter Crew Van from model year 2018. However, the exact fit to the specific roof geometry of the Crew Van must be checked, which differs from that of the standard cab.

In summary, the TopSystem Set ProSafe MB Sprinter High Roof (H2) with three cross members offers a professional and reliable solution for roof mounting on the Mercedes Sprinter. It combines the advantages of lightweight aluminium construction with the practical integration of the ProSafe load securing system.
