With an expertise of more than four decades in the 4×4 accessories market, ARB is renowned for keeping standards high in its product range. One of the most promising products is the BASE rack range which makes having a roof rack of your own much more simple.
BASE stands for “Build, Attach, Set, and Explore”, which is nothing short of the mission of ARB’s new rack. The state-of-the-art base rack has been exclusively designed to support the full rated roof load capacity of your 4×4 irrespective of the terrain you take it to. What makes the ARB base rack the ultimate roof rack for your 4×4 is the design of its mounting system which enables it to withstand the most demanding of conditions.
The new beam structure with a thin profile and flat top makes the rack more aerodynamic in its design and stronger in shape. Unlike other market players who usually supply bolt-together kits, it fails to offer the sturdy design and strength that the BASE rack has on offer.
Each of those beams can support 25 kg on its own but their load distribution structure makes it even stronger than the cumulative load calculated. It is designed to make the installation clean and simple. Apart from these, BASE rack also comes with better fit & finish along with increased surface area available for storage, thus keeping your gear safe from external wear and tear possibilities.
Known for its unique dovetail style attachments rather than a decade old T-Slot side rail, the ARB Base Rack makes mounting and unmounting luggage a piece of cake. While there four layout designs including the full rail, trade rail, three-quarter rail, and quarter rail, it is always the flat racks that are always in demand because of the versatility.
Dovetail accessories
The accessories vary in size and choice of attachments so that you can personalize your roof rack. The accessories can be mounted or unmounted along the perimeter or the beams; cthis means that none of the existing accessories would need to be disturbed to add further options or upgrades that connect the rack and the accessories to keep it tight.
Wind deflector
The 1.6 mm underside mounting deflector’s aerodynamic design made of aluminium ensures that there is no annoying noise that will deteriorate the quality of drives. The powder coat finish and vehicle specific designs make it gel with the core aesthetic of the vehicle, ensuring that you won’t be given that tacked-on feeling.
Jack holders
These Jack holders are available in classic and premium versions. The former can be used for simple attachments, and the latter for quick release and easy loading and unloading. It is made from strong, powder-coated steel and can be adjusted for height if necessary.
Recovery board holder
A high-quality recovery track will get you out of many sticky situations. A recovery track can be attached to the rack, anywhere on the perimeter using a 4-piece fastening kit. It is compatible with the ARB TREDPro and maxTrax recovery board with suitable attachments.
Gas bottle holder
Gas bottles as heavy as 9kg can be carried on the rack, facilitating easy mounting and unmounting even though it is attached with eye bolts and a ratchet strap to an individual beam or span between beams.
Jerry can holders
Extra fuel carrying is something of a tough task while offroading. A jerry can holder can accommodate two of them. One can be kept for carrying that extra water as well.
Y strap
The spare wheel can be attached on top, locking it at three points onto the rack. Polyester straps and the unique dovetail clip and the conventional strap hooks keep it stuck to the rail.
ARB racks are available in a variety of sizes so that they will be a straight fit to 4x4s waiting for a call to rule roads and no roads. ARB also has a resources section on their website with dedicated sections for magazine, kids corner, service parts & manual, and more.
