Recently, it comes to automobile fashion to equip the roof with a carrier-rug-rug-rug-jet car. From the practical side, this increases the volume. From the point of view of aesthetics, it looks also interesting. The car becomes like a beetle with a carapace. Equipping a car on the roof is very popular in automobile tourism. This option should take a closer look at not only owners of small vehicles. Installation of a tank, in which almost everything is placed from snowboards ending with massive sleds, will be interesting to hardy cars.
A couple of years ago, Russian manufacturers could not boast of the presence of a luggage box assortment for cars. Now models have appeared that compete with Italian and Swedish brands with dignity. These are Lux, Nord, Eurodetal, Atlant, and others. Russian luggage structures on average cost three times cheaper than foreign analogues. Of course, foreign brands have more experience in the production and sales of such a product. Foreign types of devices have a wide range of functional components. Russian devices have a simpler structure, but try to keep up with foreign brothers.
The purpose of the article is not the choice of some manufacturer and model, but an explanation of what technical nuances must be taken into account so that the selected product meets the indicators of functionality and quality.
First you need to decide on the label fastener on the roof of the car. Not all mounting systems, having good reliability and ease of operation, are suitable for cars. By design, the mounting system is two transverse plates attached to the body or special railing.
It is necessary to correlate the tank mount with the base of the machine for mounting. The tank mounting system should approach the trunk. In the absence of trunk, the tank is attached to the body. There is another option if there is no desire to use the body directly, equip the tank with a trunk.
Volume. There are three gradations of tanks in volume. The first type is slightly less than a full trunk, up to 350 liters. Ideal for small -length cars. Large -sized cars can be equipped with the following views. The second type is in no way inferior to the trunk of the car, up to 500 liters. The third species is convenient for transporting overalls.
The ability of the tank to withstand large cargo is determined not by the size, but by the presence of an enhanced bottom. The trunk should also be characterized by a large carrying capacity. When loading the tank, it should be borne in mind that the margin of strength should remain. For heavyweight cars, the optimal weight for a tank is 75 kilograms.
The castle has not the last meaning. The side parts must be closed completely.
For fastening the cargo inside the tank, belts or nets are used. The nets are more practical.
