ARB Bed Rack storage system is out now

If you want to increase the number of storage and carrying solutions on the tub of your ute, look no further than the ARB Bed Rack.

Being modular, the Bed Rack system allows you to add mounting solutions to suit all your needs, whether it be a rooftop tent, recovery tracks, jerry cans or storage cases. The Bed Rack utilises the unique and innovative BASE Rack dovetail. This dovetail provides mounting solutions allowing you to mount gear on the top, underside, outside and inside of the Bed Rack rail.

The north-south configuration doesn’t impede access to the load-carrying area of the tub, allowing taller items to be loaded if fitted with optional cross beams, great for loading items such as motorbikes, bicycles or your mate’s fridge. An extrusion in the aluminium frame allows wiring to run inside the extrusion for lights and power at the rack’s top or within a rooftop tent.

“Vehicle-specific mounting brackets and hardware have been developed which pick up on key locations of the vehicle tub and ensures that load is transferred into the structural areas of the vehicle,” said Mark de Prinse, product manager of fabricated products. “Mounting brackets can fit with or without tub liners fitted. Specifically for Ford Ranger the FLA-approved J brace is also required to supplement the mounting kit.”

Constructed from 6061 aluminium extrusion, the ARB Bed Rack is lightweight and strong and provides a load rating of 150kg that is not going to adversely affect the durability of the vehicle’s tub. The low-profile curved styling not only integrates with the vehicle but it reduces the height and wind drag caused by fitting rooftop tents.

Specific mount kits have been developed for both the Ford Ranger and Toyota HiLux to suit each vehicle’s specific tub, with more applications still to come.
