Question:
Hello! Can you tell me if the recommended 220lb rack bearing capacity is per rack or for the whole system i.e. 110 lbs per rack for two racks. Thank you!

Yakima's HardTop SL Track-Mount Roof Rack # Y01618 has a rated weight capacity of 220-lbs for the entire rack, meaning both of the 60-inch cross bars together. Each bar would then be rated for half of that overall capacity. But in actual use the weight capacity of the surface/structure it is mounted on also affects the weight carrying limit.
This adjustable roof rack is ideal for installation on fiberglass or aluminum truck caps, campers, or travel trailers to give you extra cargo-carrying space. All installation hardware is included.
If you want to be able to lock the rack towers to the tracks you can also use SKS lock kit # Y07204.
