It's meant to work alongside a roof rack for kayaks, canoes, surfboards, ladders and building materials that run past the roofline. Height is adjustable to line up with the load on your roof rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA roof rack alone often isn't enough once a kayak, ladder or length of timber runs well past the back of the vehicle, leaving the overhang unsupported and bouncing on rough roads. Mounting a rear support off the towbar gives that overhang its own carrying point, so the load is held level between the roof and the rear instead of just hanging off the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTowbar mount plate fitting\u003c\/strong\u003e – bolts onto the mount plate already on your towbar rather than the towbar itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable height\u003c\/strong\u003e – set it to line up level with the load resting on your roof rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.17m wide crossbar\u003c\/strong\u003e – gives a wide, stable support point for kayaks, canoes and boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e50kg weight capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e – carries heavier loads such as timber lengths or a loaded kayak setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-duty build\u003c\/strong\u003e – made to keep holding a rear load over rough, demanding roads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKayak and canoe owners\u003c\/strong\u003e who need extra support at the rear once the hull overhangs the roof rack, working alongside a Holdfast Kayak Cradle up front.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSurfers and paddleboarders\u003c\/strong\u003e carrying a board or two that runs past the back of the vehicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone hauling ladders or building materials\u003c\/strong\u003e since the wide crossbar spreads long lengths of timber or ladders across a stable rear point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLocal Support from 4Matt Campers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur team in \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Africa\u003c\/strong\u003e can help you set the right height to match your existing roof rack load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holdfast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120881\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossbar width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.17m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Towbar mount plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable, to match your roof-mounted load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOptional Fitment \/ Upgrade Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis support extends off your towbar, so check these points before ordering:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou need an existing towbar mount plate to bolt this onto — it isn't a standalone towbar fitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the adjustable height so the 1.17m crossbar sits level with whatever is resting on your roof rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep the combined rear load within the 50kg weight capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with the full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/roof-racks\"\u003eroof rack range\u003c\/a\u003e up front, or see \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/accessories\"\u003eaccessories\u003c\/a\u003e for the tie-down straps to finish securing your load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Roof Rack Support mount to?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt bolts onto your existing towbar mount plate, giving you a rear carrying point behind the vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat can I carry on it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's meant for long or bulky loads that overhang the roof, such as kayaks, canoes, surfboards, ladders and building materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much weight can it hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's rated to 50kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I still need a roof rack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, this support works alongside your roof rack rather than replacing it, carrying the rear overhang of a load that's mounted up front.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holdfast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49162252878009,"sku":"120881","price":2985.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/4587\/6409\/files\/Holdfast-35-1.jpg?v=1789660611","url":"https:\/\/www.4mattcampers.co.za\/products\/roof-rack-support","provider":"4Matt Campers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
