When you’re carrying serious gear—like ladders, lumber, or heavy outdoor equipment—you need bars that won’t flex or fail. These Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty crossbars are made from aluminum for strength without unnecessary weight. They hold up to 220 lbs, so you can load confidently for work or adventure. The solid build and square-bar design make them ideal for tough jobs and long trips.
Hauling can get tricky without the right tie-downs and mounts. These crossbars have top channels designed for Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories like ladder rollers, load stops, and eyebolts. That channel system keeps everything lined up and locked in place, whether you’re strapping down kayaks or securing construction materials. Rubber strips in the channels help cushion the load and keep things from slipping around.
When your rack is carrying valuable gear, you want it locked down tight. Each leg has a lockable cover plate that secures the rack to your vehicle’s roof tracks. Once locked, the setup stays put, even through rough roads and unpredictable weather. It’s a simple way to add peace of mind every time you leave your vehicle loaded up.
No need to piece together multiple parts—the setup includes 2 Heavy Duty crossbars, 4 RLTP legs, and 2 RT tracks for a full system that installs directly to roof tracks. The custom fit means a clean, solid connection that feels integrated rather than added on. Once installed, it’s ready to handle everything from camping gear to contractor tools without a fuss.
This rack is designed for years of use in every season. The crossbars come with a limited lifetime warranty, while the legs and tracks include 5-year limited warranties. That kind of coverage backs up the durable design and materials, showing it’s made to stay in service for the long haul.

Strong, good appearance and functional.
Desi was awesome in helping us build the perfect mount for our roof top tent set up.
Easy to install and pretty good fit. They feel extremely sturdy when put together.
Can't really comment on the bars because they didn't arrive but the legs got here. Called Justin and he is getting them shipped, just wondering why it takes so long to get here. Picked on 8/12 and delivery is set for 8/23.
Customer Service was awesome....and super fast.
This has been a disaster, and terrible experience from the start. Original product Rhino roof rack ($188.00) misrepresented for sale, even called and was told all parts were included as "Open Box" item. Received item with missing parts and mismatched parts, then ET sent wrong parts (Legs) causing having to order these cross bars ($192.00) to fit parts sent (Legs). Now my $300.00 BougeRV ski rack - mounting base plates won't fit the crossbars. Still waiting for return label for original item so I can get my refund of $188.00. Three weeks later, still dealing with problem. I do appreciate Shawnee and EDW for their efforts in follow up service attempts.
Good product, no need for foam blocks
Rock solid with over 120 pounds on them daily, 1 year later.
You guys are the best! I have never had a problem with any products from etrailer. Items are always what I expect and are on time.
Just got it put on and it looks great. Have not had a chance to use it much at this point, but installation was fairly easy and I'm happy with how it looks.
Great quality parts, good customer service and quick shipping
Solid. One of the end caps came broken in shipping but otherwise ok. Rubber top on bar is nice for holding items
Perfect product for my aero bars and great customer service getting it to me ASAP before a big trip -
Needed to lower my heavy duty Rhino Rack Did the job quickly and easily . Would have given 5 stars but seams a little less solid than original feet .
eTrailer and RhinoRack are the best! r>^^^^
Installation was easy and I haven't had any issues. I had originally ordered a wrong part, but the person I spoke with at etrailer made it very easy to correct this and get the parts I needed. The next time I need something from my truck, I'll be checking here first.
Very HD, no worries at all regarding ability to carry weight safely. Rubber track keeps things from sliding, great stuff. 4 stars rather than 5 because one bar arrived with a large scratch down the side. They’re compensating with $20, but it is worth $90, so if I eventually need to replace because of oxidation, I’m up a creek…
Tricky to rivet tracks onto car with a manual riveter but once done, a great solution for the car with ease of bar removal. My only regret was going with the square bars which result in notable increase in wind noise.
I’ve had this rhino rack for over 3 years and it’s been excellent on long road trips to the ski slopes. A year after my purchase, I realized that I was missing the plastic coverings that attached to the end of the bars and called their customer service to resolve the missing pieces. I was impressed with their quick response and seamless delivery.
Product installation instructions were fair, and that is the worst thing I have to say. I havent put anything on the rack yet as I just installed it, but I gave a good tug on the bars and they are SOLID. The product came in a reasonable amount of time, and the feedback for etrailer is that I got followup emails at each step of the process keeping me fully informed right up to the message asking for feedback.
Bottomline: etrailer is a great business to work with, and this product seems to be good too.
High-quality, sturdy rails, but noisy. There was a pronounced and audible whistle driving with these racks at any common road or highway speed (with the rubber inserts installed across the top). I have since replaced these rails with the Rhino vortex aero style (change of vehicles and the HD bars did not fit the new car). Having used both types several times, I would recommend the aero style over the HD if you have the option.
Great product, fit was spot on with correct vehicle specific parts. Etrailer
was fantastic to work with. Great communication and feedback, worked through a small problem with positive outcome. Will definitely purchase from them again, their customer service department is top notch.
I am normally a exclusive Amazon shopper, but etrailer gives equal or better service and has specialty items you just can't find anywhere else. The pricing is great also. This is my 4th order from them on this project and the response has been perfect and the shipping has been prompt. They even offered to take back an item that I did not need. I desperately wanted to mount my 19ft Kayak on my new RV and with some Rhino RT tracks, a Rhino Nautic kayak lifter, a few really heavy duty rivets, and some ingenuity, I was able to accomplish the task. I am replacing the current Nautic bars with the heavy duty bars. See the attached pictures.
