Upgrade Your Vehicle with JTM Auto Roof Platforms and Baskets
Expand your vehicle’s carrying capacity with JTM Auto’s range of roof platforms and roof baskets, designed for off-road touring, trade use and everyday travel. Available in flat platform and raised basket configurations, these versatile storage solutions combine durable construction, flexible cargo space and streamlined exterior styling.
Roof Platforms for Work, Touring and Adventure
A roof rack platform provides a broad, open loading surface for equipment that may not fit inside your vehicle. Its low-profile design accommodates long, wide or irregularly shaped loads, while compatible tie-down points and accessory channels help keep your setup organised.
This versatile platform system can carry:
- Camping equipment, swags and storage cases
- Trade tools and worksite equipment
- Recovery boards and touring accessories
- Luggage and recreational gear
- Bikes, kayaks and other items with compatible carriers
Every load must be correctly positioned and secured using suitable restraints.
Roof Platform or Roof Basket: Which Should You Choose?
A flat roof rack platform provides a broad, open loading surface without raised perimeter rails. Its unrestricted design gives you greater flexibility when carrying long, wide or irregularly shaped items.
A roof basket has raised sides that help contain luggage, storage boxes and smaller items. It can be a practical choice for family holidays, camping trips and general-purpose storage.
The right option depends on what you intend to carry. A flat platform roof rack offers more freedom when arranging oversized equipment, while a basket provides additional containment for smaller loads. All cargo must still be positioned correctly and secured using suitable restraints.
Durable Construction & Practical Product Features
Selected JTM Auto platforms feature a full aluminium-alloy frame with three heavy-duty steel crossbars for additional strength. Heavy-duty steel backbone brackets support secure mounting, while a durable black powder-coated finish provides a clean, low-profile appearance.
Depending on the product, features may include:
- Load rating of up to 200kg when evenly distributed
- Approximate platform weight of 20–22kg
- Six tie-down eye bolts for securing cargo
- Multiple accessory tracks for lights, awnings and other equipment
- Complete assembly mounts and vehicle-specific brackets
- Adjustable rear rails for flexible mounting
- Flat-packed, unassembled construction for easier transport
- Quick-release or gas-strut-assisted operation on selected models
Platform dimensions vary. Selected models measure approximately 1540mm × 1240mm × 50mm, while other designs measure around 1450mm × 1250mm × 50mm.
Roof Platforms for Vehicle Roofs and Roller Shutters
The collection includes conventional vehicle-roof platforms and selected systems designed to mount above compatible ute roller shutters. An aluminium platform roof rack can increase carrying capacity while maintaining a practical, streamlined vehicle setup.
Selected roller-shutter platforms feature gas-strut-assisted lifting, allowing the roof top platform to be raised for easier access to the ute tub. Quick-release mechanisms and multiple mounting channels provide additional flexibility for work equipment, camping gear and off-road accessories.
Some products may be described as a universal roof platform. These systems may fit a variety of applications, but compatible roof rails, crossbars, mounting feet or vehicle-specific brackets may still be required.
Choosing the Right 4x4 Roof Platform
The best 4x4 roof platform is one that suits your vehicle, mounting system and intended load. Before installing a 4x4 roof platform or 4WD roof platform, confirm:
- The platform’s dimensions and rated capacity
- Vehicle roof, roof-rail or roller-shutter load limits
- Static and dynamic load requirements
- Bracket and mounting-point compatibility
- Whether drilling or pop rivets are required
- Which installation hardware is included
A 200kg platform rating does not override the vehicle manufacturer’s roof-load limit. The mounting system, platform and cargo must remain within the lowest applicable rating.
