TopSystem Set ProSafe VW Caddy 20 2 cross members

For craftsmen and service providers who want to equip their van efficiently and safely, the professional van racking from Sortimo represents an indispensable foundation. The optimization of the load space goes far beyond the mere storage of tools. It includes the secure fastening of cargo, the protection of the vehicle, and the increase in daily productivity on the construction site or with the customer. A central building block of this system is the construction on the vehicle roof. Here, the TopSystem from Sortimo is used, which not only creates additional storage space but also facilitates the handling of bulky goods. Particularly for users of the Volkswagen Caddy from the 2020 generation onwards, the company offers a tailored solution that meets the highest demands for stability, material quality, and safety. The focus is on a holistic approach that seamlessly integrates the loading of the roof into the existing load securing system of the vehicle.

The construction of the TopSystem Set ProSafe VW Caddy 20 is based on a high-quality combination of materials that guarantees durability and corrosion resistance. The cross members consist primarily of aluminum, which ensures a low weight and thus does not unnecessarily burden the maximum payload of the vehicle. This lightweight principle is essential because every kilogram on the roof affects driving stability and fuel consumption. To secure the connection points and mechanical stress, components made of galvanized steel and stainless steel are used. These metals are particularly resistant to weather influences such as rain, road salt, and temperature fluctuations, which are unavoidable in professional daily life. Additionally, seals made of EPDM and plastics made of PA6 are used to dampen vibrations, prevent scratches on the paint, and ensure quiet driving behavior. These material mixes form the technical basis for a system that functions reliably for years.

The technical dimensioning was precisely matched to the conditions of the Volkswagen Caddy. The set includes two cross members with a length of 1250 millimeters. This specific length was chosen to optimally utilize the roof surface of the vehicle without negatively affecting the aerodynamic properties or the visibility inside the vehicle. The wheelbase of the vehicle is 2755 millimeters, and the roof shape corresponds to the standard roof, designated as H1 in the manufacturer's designation. These dimensions are critical for the precise fit. A cross member for VW Caddy 2020 must be exactly matched to this wheelbase length and the roof contour to enable flat mounting and even load distribution. The entire set weighs 6.17 kilograms, which represents a very good weight ratio in relation to the load capacity of up to 50 kilograms per cross member. However, the individual maximum roof load of the respective vehicle chassis, noted in the vehicle documents, must always be observed.

The actual added value of this set lies in the integration of the ProSafe system. ProSafe is the professional load securing system from Sortimo, which is not just an add-on but an integral part of the roof rack. In the roof rack TopSystem, ProSafe is incorporated along the entire length of the cross profile. This means that the locking elements or openings for lashing straps are not located at individual points but are available across the entire surface. This allows the ProSafe lashing straps to be easily, quickly, and without further accessories attached at any point along the length of the cross members. This continuity is a crucial difference to conventional systems, where straps can often only be attached at fixed points, making adaptation to different cargo sizes difficult. The additional attachment of rubber inserts on the cross members not only prevents the cargo from slipping during travel but also protects it from damage due to direct metal contact.

The areas of application for this system are diverse and cover the needs of different trades. Whether building materials such as long wood profiles, pipes, or panels, bulky gardening machines, or large equipment housings – the roof rack Caddy standard roof offers the necessary platform to transport these goods safely. By freeing the interior of bulky items, more space remains for tool storage Caddy in the passenger compartment or in the trunk. This leads to better organization, as tools and small materials are not mixed with long components. The Sortimo vehicle conversion philosophy aims to logically use every zone of the van. While drawers and modules inside ensure quick access, the roof takes over the transport of bulk goods. This separation increases efficiency in processing orders, as the craftsman can get to his tools faster and the load securing on the roof does not cost time.

The advantages of this specific set can be summarized in several points that make life easier in the craft.

The classification into the overarching Sortimo system is particularly important. ProSafe can be used consistently at both 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 now receive a holistic load securing system for your complete vehicle. It is a strap system that fits everywhere. This networking means that you can use the same lashing straps and fastening points in the interior, on the floor, and on the roof. This reduces the effort for purchasing different securing means and creates a uniform working method. With the TopSystem accessories, such as the load stop, you expand your roof rack with practical helpers that make load securing on the roof even easier for you.

To eliminate common uncertainties regarding selection and installation, here is the answer to relevant questions. Which cross members fit into the VW Caddy 2020? The TopSystem Set ProSafe VW Caddy 20 is suitable, which was specifically designed for the wheelbase of 2755 mm and the roof shape H1. Is the TopSystem ProSafe Set suitable for the Caddy H1? Yes, the version is explicitly designed for the standard roof (H1). How is the Sortimo roof rack attached to the VW Caddy? What material do the TopSystem cross members have? They consist of a combination of aluminum for the profile, as well as steel, stainless steel, EPDM, and PA6 for the connections and seals. Do the cross members fit with wing doors and tailgate?
