Roof Racks & Load Systems
Carry more. Carry it safely. Set up properly the first time.
Roof racks and load systems aren’t just about bolting gear to the roof — they’re about weight management, safety, noise control, and long-term reliability, especially on modern BYD and Denza platforms with advanced body structures and EV/PHEV systems.
At MAKA OFFROAD, we only fit vehicle-specific roof rack systems from proven manufacturers, installed with correct load ratings, mounting methods, and real-world use in mind.

What MAKA Considers Before Fitting Any Roof System
This is where we’re different.
Before we recommend or fit a roof rack, we assess:
- Dynamic vs static load limits (especially important for rooftop tents)
- Vehicle centre of gravity and handling impact
- Canopy compatibility (where applicable)
- Wind noise & daily usability
- Electrical routing for roof-mounted lights, solar or Starlink
- Manufacturer & ADR load compliance
We don’t overload vehicles and we don’t ignore the fine print.
Common Uses We Set Up For
- Rooftop tents
- Awnings & camp lighting
- Trade ladders & long materials
- Recovery gear & spare fuel
- Touring storage & solar panels
Each system is configured to match how you actually use your vehicle, not a catalogue picture.
Built to Carry. Built to Last.
Every roof rack and load system we install is:
- Vehicle-specific
- Correctly rated
- Professionally installed
- Backed by MAKA’s 12-month fitment warranty + manufacturer warranty
