Roof rack GAZ
GAZ trucks and utility vehicles are equipped with steel roof platforms as an additional place for transportation, which unload space in the cabin and serve to transport bulky goods. The installation is relevant for commercial vehicles involved in intercity transportation.
GAZ vehicles have been popular in the commercial and passenger transport market for more than 40 years. The manufacturer offers a line of cars with a trunk installed at the factory, or provides a regular place for mounting the compartment in the future. For example, the Sobol roof rack is produced by several Russian companies. Each model is installed in regular places. This is convenient for motorists: there is no need to overpay for an accessory if it is not needed, and the option remains to always buy an original or a replica.
For cars without mounts, the companies offer cargo compartments with the option of installing in doorways or after upgrading the roof.
