Yakima Loading Systems
What are you going to transport?
Yakima’s philosophy is that you should have room for both people and luggage, it will be a better trip!
Before you decide where to transport your luggage, you should consider what is best for you and the car you have.
Is it easier to hang the bike behind the car than to attach it to the roof or is it better with bags on the roof than to fill up the car where the passengers are sitting – do you prefer to have the kayak on the plane rather than on the roof?
What is Yakima?
Yakima makes loading systems, so you can get out and about with friends and family, with everything you need. There should be no reason to have to choose between taking friends on a trip, or leaving the golf bag at home. You can only hang the bike on the towbar, the surfboard on the pick-up plane or the kayak on the roof rack.
Yakima: We believe in connecting you, friends, family and all your favorite gear to your desired destination or activity. Yakima will handle all your gear, freeing up space in your car, so you can take more friends and create more memories.
Have you decided on a roof rack? Good!
A roof rack from Yakima is modern in appearance, has low wind resistance and has a sea of accessories.
First you have to decide how to attach this to the roof, you can attach to existing roof rails, use the brackets for roof rails or mount universal rails.
How big a roof rack should you choose? We have sorted the recommended roof racks under FIND ITEMS FOR YOUR CAR to make it easier for you to find the recommended size.
Once the roof rack is in place…
The advantage of a complete system is that things you often carry can have fixed places, thus it becomes faster and easier to get this off and on the roof.
