    PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

    Volkswagen Amarok (2023-2025) Dual Cab Wedgetail Platform Roof Rack

    Ford Ranger PX dual cab with a Wedgetail platform roof rack and the toughest Ranger roof rack it is possible to install. This is the hero image for this vehicle.


    TOUGHEST GEN 2 AMAROK ROOF RACK

    Wondering how to make your new Volkswagen Amarok Gen 2 the toughest in the street? Whether for work or adventure, why not take a look at the all-new Wedgetail roof rack range? The Wedgetail roof rack is a new generation roof rack combining the aesthetics and functionality of the new generation composite style assembled roof rack with the traditional strength and proven identity of an Australian Manufacturer to be both light and capable of carrying your gear and the market with strength.

    Wedgetail roof racks integrate the all-new Wedge lock glass-reinforced corners that significantly increase the strength of this design, allowing us to offer you a full offroad rating regardless of what road you travel. All Wedgetail roof racks are built and manufactured here in Melbourne and Sydney Australia by longstanding industry veteran, Tradesman Roof Racks to a strong standard you can rely on and to withstand a reasonable load and handle a range of activities.

     

     

    HOW DOES IT FIT?

    The Wedgetail roof rack range to suit the Volkswagen Amarok Gen 2, fits using a small bracket that rivets to the roof of the Amarok using high strength stainless sealed rivets and is sealed to the roof using suitable natural cure silicon. Once these are fitted we attach our Wedge-wing once piece mounting kit to which the Wedgetail platform connects. Whether single or dual cabin, the Wedgetail mounts and legs can be adjusted to suit your vehicle.

    The advantages of this kind of mounting system don't just stop with a higher load rating and improved aesthetics, but it also allows for easy removal. The wedgetail racks are wholly removed from the vehicle via four bolts, leaving only the four small brackets sealed to the roof of your Volkswagen Amarok Gen 2.

    Every detail is crafted with precision and care to be the perfect fit compared to other Volkswagen Amarok Gen 2 roof racks, to be able to carry gear and equipment suitable for any adventure, to be durable, light and easy to use and install. Visit or contact us to pick your rack, have fitment organised with ease and you can leave happy knowing you've bought the best.

    HOW DO ACCESSORIES ATTACH?

    The wedgetail rack platform uses sturdy crossbars that run to the left and right of the rack and vehicle. This crossbar incorporates a heavy-duty channel both facing upwards and downwards to support the roof rack. Capable of gearing for any adventure. The channels of the rack allow any range of Wedgetail accessories to be quickly locked in or out with ease; this also means that a large variety of alternative attachments can easily be fitted to the Wedgetail roof racks if necessary.

    WIND NOISE?

    Wind noise is a problem a lot of other racks struggle with, but Wedgetail has a wind deflector for all vehicles. All Wedgetail roof Racks purchased come standard with a wind deflector you will receive to minimise wind noise as much as possible. As well as this Wedgetail racks also include our unique Wedge-flow crossbar design which is the culmination of years of design experience in minimising wind noise. The Wedgetail roof rack for the Volkswagen Amarok Gen 2 is no different; we understand how frustrating a noisy roof rack can be and have put every effort into to ensuring that the Wedgetail rack is as quiet as it can be.

    LOAD RATING?

    One thing you can be sure about with a Wedgetail rack is that no matter what road you are on in this country our full load rating will apply to the vehicle. Wedgetail racks do not need to be de-rated in offroad conditions due to the design and construction methods used, including our wedge-lock corners. The load rating for the Wedgetail rack fitted to a Ford Volkswagen Amarok Gen 2 is 100kg.

    However, you must be aware of your vehicle's roof loading. This information will be available from Volkswagen. It is essential that you take the weight of the Wedgetail platform off the loaded roof rating of your car, and this will give you your legal carrying capacity. (the reason we don't list this on the website is that it can vary between model variants).

    Features

    The Wedgetail platform roof rack has been developed to fill the need for a new generation composite assembly platform roof rack with the strength to maintain its full load rating on the toughest of off-road tracks.

    Built to fit a wide range of 4x4 utes and wagons and selected vans, the Wedgetail platform roof rack is fitted onto a set of mounting rails that are bolted to mounting lugs connected into the sub-structure of the roof or onto the roof gutters and held in place by bolt-on clips.

    These mounts spread the weight of the roof rack and its load over the whole mounting system and have the strength to cope with extended periods of off-road use.

    FRAME AND CROSSBARS

    Manufactured using 6060 grade aluminium and extruded in Australia to custom profiles for use as frame components or as crossbars. The frame components are designed for maximum dynamic strength while the crossbars are designed to withstand the direct downwards pressures generated by the weight of items carried on the rack or by accessories fitted on the crossbars.

    The frame bars are pre-punched with holes at between 250 and 310 mm spacing for locating of crossbars and fixing of wind deflectors.

    All bar components are powder coated in matt black.

    A frame rail with a hole punched in the bottom flange which will be used to bolt in a crossbar.

     

    WEDGE-LOCK CORNER UNITS

    The corner units are moulded using a composite of nylon and glass-reinforcing mixed with other strengthening substances. Once cast the corner units are machined to remove surplus materials and mounting holes are drilled.

    The Wedge-lock corner units have a flanged nut inserted into the outside of the bolt hole. The ends of the corner units are fitted into the frame rails and 8 mm stainless steel bolts are used to fix them in place, creating a strong joint.
