TOUGHEST EVEREST ROOF RACK
Wondering how to make your Everest the toughest in the street? Why not take a look at the all-new Wedgetail rack? The Wedgetail rack is a new generation roof rack combining the aesthetics and functionality of the new generation composite style assembled rack with the traditional strength and proven identity of an Australian manufacturer. 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 racks are manufactured here in Melbourne and Sydney Australia by longstanding industry veteran, Tradesman Roof Racks.
HOW DOES IT FIT?
The Wedgetail roof rack to suit the Ford Everest fits by securing mounting lugs to the existing factory holes (once the factory rails have been removed ) and then is sealed to the roof using suitable natural cure silicon. Once these are fitted we attach our Wedge-wing one piece mounting kit to which the Wedgetail platform connects. 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 roof rack is removed from the vehicle by removing eight bolts, leaving only the eight small brackets sealed to the roof.
HOW DO ACCESSORIES ATTACH?
The Wedgetail platform uses sturdy crossbars that run across the vehicle. These crossbars incorporates a heavy-duty channel top and bottom. These channels allow any Wedgetail accessories to be quickly locked in or out; this also means that a large variety of alternative accessories can easily be fitted to the Wedgetail rack if necessary.
WIND NOISE?
All Wedgetail racks come standard with a wind deflector to minimise wind noise. 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 rack to suit the Everest is no different; we understand how frustrating a noisy roof rack can be and have put every effort into 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. 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 Everest is 100 kg. However, you must be aware of your vehicle's roof loading. This information will be available from Ford. It is essential that you take the weight of the Wedgetail platform off your roof rating, and this will give your legal carrying capacity (the reason we don't list this on the website is that it can vary between model variants).

Know before you buy
Before you buy a rack or canopy
Roof racks, canopies and roller lids carry the gear that won't fit inside. How much they can carry depends on both your vehicle and the rack, so check the numbers before you load up.
- The lower limit applies
Your load limit is the lower of the vehicle maker's roof rating and the rack's rating, and the rack's own weight counts. Adding more bars doesn't raise the roof's limit (Rhino-Rack).
- Driving vs parked
The dynamic rating applies when you're driving; the higher static rating applies when parked, for example with a rooftop tent in use.
- Off-road needs headroom
Rhino-Rack recommends a 1.5 safety factor off-road, so carry less than the on-road limit on rough tracks.
- Cab and canopy are separate
On a ute, the cab and the canopy move independently, so don't fix one load across both. Canopy racks must stay within the canopy's own rating.
Common questions
How much weight can I put on my roof?
The lower of your vehicle maker's roof load rating and the rack's rating, minus the weight of the rack itself. Check your owner's manual for the vehicle figure.
What's the difference between static and dynamic load?
Dynamic is the limit while driving. Static is the limit when the vehicle is parked, which is what matters for a rooftop tent with people in it.
Do I carry less off-road?
Yes. Rhino-Rack recommends a 1.5 safety factor off-road, because bumps multiply the forces on the roof.
Can one rack span the cab and the canopy?
No. The cab and canopy move separately, so they need separate racks, each within its own rating.
