When you’re hauling kayaks, canoes, or a loaded cargo box, you want bars that can handle the weight without flexing. These Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty crossbars are built from aluminum and rated for a 220 lb capacity. The solid construction keeps your gear steady, even on long highway runs or rough backroads. The durable black finish holds up well against weather and road grime, so you can leave the rack in place all season.
If you use ladders, load stops, or eyebolts, the square bar design with top channels makes setup easy. The included rubber strips help cushion your load and add slip resistance, keeping everything from shifting while you’re driving. These channels are designed for Rhino-Rack Heavy Duty accessories, letting you lock down contractor-grade gear or outdoor equipment with a tight, confident fit.
A solid rack isn’t just about strength—it’s about staying put once it’s installed. The gutter mount legs clamp firmly onto the rain gutters and include lockable cover plates to secure the rack to your vehicle. Once tightened down and locked, the system stays stable when loaded up with camping gear or paddleboards for weekend trips.
With a three-bar setup and 59" long crossbars, you get extra support for long or heavy gear like multiple kayaks or rooftop boxes. The additional bar helps spread weight evenly across your roofline, which is ideal for bulky items that need more balance points. Whether it’s watercraft for summer or cargo boxes for road trips, there’s room to haul what you need without squeezing it all onto two bars.
Every part of the system is backed by Rhino-Rack’s limited coverage—crossbars carry a limited lifetime warranty, while the legs and spacer blocks each have a 5-year limited warranty. That coverage reflects a setup built for years of use, whether you’re outfitting for workdays or weekends off the grid.
Ratings & Reviews
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.
First off - excellent customer service! I called to ask about some parts and I received a “live” person in seconds. No phone button death loop, just a quick response. The assistant was helpful, professional, and knowledgeable.
Now for the other part - The 8” Rhino roof rack for our sky-touch wrangler jeep, worked excellent! Easy to assemble, great finish. I would highly recommend their Etrailer and their products. On the Big Island of Hawaii, these racks will get some use for sure!
Mahalo!
Kit was great, except my SnugTop cover required longer T-Bolts for mounting the tracks. The 1.5 inch ones provided were too short. It was a little tough sourcing T/Bolts that would work. It would have been nice if longer T-Bolts could have been an option from Rhino Rack.
Thank you for the help putting together the perfect system for my truck. Exactly what I needed.
Nice rack system, strong and durable. Used on a Ford e350 to mount solar panels. Only draw back, one of the L brackets that goes under the rain gutter was not bent square enough and this caused the bracket to slide off when tightened. I had to adjust this with a clamp and hammer, no issues since.
Amazing product. Fit, finish, quality is absolutely amazing!
Have hauled our bikes all over MI, through the UP, and back. They never moved. Rack is super simple to remove from the rails to grant full access to the PU bed.
I think this is one of the Best options out there for taking your bikes with you while still having your covered bed space. I also can install a Ski box for the winter. Ski's in the box while gear in the covered bed.
These are the perfect racks for a low profile mounting of solar panels on my Sprinter van.
The folks at etrailer made it easy for me to get the right rack and crossbars for my Jeep. I have a skytop so the rack had to be tall enough to clear the top as it opens and closes (accordion style). The customer service person who helped me recommended the rack legs with the right amount of clearance and the right size cross bars. The website had photos of other Wrangler Unlimited owners with the rack installed on the same type of top. The video of installation was clear and thorough. No problems with the rack at all; still tight and flush on the gutter, no wind noise with the rubber inserts, doesn't look all weathered and beaten after a New England winter either. The boat on the rack only weighs about 45 pounds but the rack can easily handle double that or more.
This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.
Order is lost. Only received half of it. Tape your boxes together like you did on previous orders.
Our bars did not arrive. It only takes three days to ship to Anchorage Alaska from anywhere CONUS.
Team was helpful in ordering the correct part. Delivery well managed. Installation straightforward.
The heavy duty rhino-racks are very well built. There is wind noise. That can be muffled some by using uni-stut closure strips. Uni-strut fasteners fit on both the top and bottom of these bars making it nice for building your own custom tie down and attachment points
Good quality. . Exactly what I ordered
Great product! No issues
Great product! I have had no issues
Item was exactly as described and pictured. Arrived quickly after ordering. etrailer was the only place I could even find this item in stock, even the manufacturer was on backorder. Will definitely be using etrailer for future purchases.
I used the crossbar on the front of my UTV rollbar to hold a LED light and two sun visors. It worked perfectly. I used rollbar clamps made to fit the rollbar to hold the crossbar in place.
Great quality and very sturdy.
Just when I was about to give up on finding these mounts, I remembered etrailer usually has what I need, and Presto
