Inflatable Roof Rack - Handirack
Designed for rugged outdoor use in America, the portable HandiRack inflatable roof rack has a patented, triple layer skin that makes the HandiRack virtually indestructible Perfect for travel.
Specifications
To fit simply pass the straps through the door frame, clip the two ends together, inflate the bars with the free pump and you're ready to strap on your luggage. The HandiRack's innovative design doesn't affect the door operations in any way. You can still open and shut the doors as often as you like and operate the windows normally.
When you reach your journey's end, simply deflate the bars, unlock the clips and pack your HandiRack into the bag and leave it in the boot. You'll probably forget about it until the next time you're suddenly faced with carrying some unwieldy object back from the store, piste, auction, beach, car boot sale, school, garden centre etc. The HandiRack will carry up to 80kg in weight (just make sure your car can too!). It inflates in seconds, can be fitted in minutes and lasts for years. It packs away into a bag the size of your toaster, so leave it in the boot and you'll always be ready for action.
The HandiRack has been tested on everything from a Rolls Royce to a Nissan Micra and it fits them all. If your car has doors...even Gull Wing doors or roof rails... then The HandiRack can be fitted easily and safely. It has even been fitted onto a Ferrari which doesn't have traditional door frames, just windows that slide into the roof... and yes it still fits perfectly. So now you can sling your surf boards onto your Ferrari and look sporty as well as filthy rich.
The only car we don't recommend using it on of course, is a soft top. The HandiRack would still work, but your roof would cave in!
