HandiRack

What is a HandiRack?

Designed for rugged outdoor use in Australia, the award winning HandiRack is a unique, multi purpose, portable load carrier.  It provides an amazingly easy means to transport all manner of loads from ladders to kayaks, surf boards to flat-pack furniture. Not only is the HandiRack simple to use, but being inflatable means that when not in use it is very compact and can be easily stored in the boot of the car or on a shelf in the garage.

What do people use the HandiRack for?  Well in the last few months we have analysed this based on sales from this website:

Paddle Sports - 30%
Water Sports - 20%
Camping - 15%
General Use - 25%
Winter Sports - 10%

The HandiRack is immensely strong (it has a patented triple-layer skin), totally safe, complies with ISO/PAS 11154 and couldn't be easier to assemble. The straps pass through the car doors and the bars inflate in a matter of seconds using the supplied HandiPump. The HandiRack can carry loads of up to 80kg (subject to individual vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations) and is suitable for 4-door and 2-door cars.

How does it work?

As you can see, the HandiRack couldn't be easier to assemble and fit.  Each HandiRack comes with detailed instructions and the whole fitting process takes just a matter of minutes.  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 release the fitting strap, deflate the bars, pack your HandiRack into its drawstring travel bag and place it in the boot.  You'll probably forget about it until the next time you're suddenly faced with carrying some unwieldy and bulky item back from the store, piste, auction, beach, car boot sale, garden centre etc. but will be relieved to remember that you have the HandiRack to hand.

Will it fit my car?

We've tried and tested the HandiRack 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.

The HandiRack will fit just about any car including:

• 4-doors / hatchbacks / estates
• 2-doors with rear opening quarter- light windows
• 2-doors with fixed rear quarter- light windows
• Cars with roof rails
• Cars with sunroofs

The HandiRack is unsuitable for the following:

• Cars fitted with certain types of curtain airbags* (these deploy from the top of the window)
• Convertibles & cabriolets
• Some cars with high domed shaped roofs
