Hi
Just thought I would mention a great company for your vans roof racks. Hand made and perfect for the job!
I have been fitting these racks to my vans since 1990 - they are made in Clitheroe by SDV TRADE RACKS and are fully galvanised and will last longer than the van!
Here is there website http://www.clitheroeroofracks.co.uk/ (http://www.clitheroeroofracks.co.uk/) Great British Company Established in 1967
I personally guarantee you - there isn't a better rack in the UK
Here's one we had fitted on Thursday June 5th - if you contact them - please mention PURPLE RHINO recommended them!
We travelled nearly 300 miles to have this one fitted!

Just had rhino roof bars fitted and they were a
Dream to fit.
Depends what you put on the racks. Just ladders for me.
God the new transit has a face only a mother could love.
-
What have they done to the Transit !
It's the Frog Mouthed Scorpio all over again !
-
The transit inside is absolutely great - real big improvement.
We will get used to the face of it
-
The design is truly offensive. Cancelled my order after seeing it and purchased a new Sprinter.
-
We will get used to the face of it
In the same way one might get used to herpes?
-
The lads love driving it!
Anyway the roof racks are great!
-
Did modifications have to be made to the van for the roof rack to be fitted then?
Fitting is usually simple.

Can't really see much of the roof rack in the photos.......Oh I get it, you just really wanted everyone to see your new van ;D
-
Haha. Yeah I noticed the angle of the shot.
It's all fun ain't it
-
In a van that size, can i ask what you put on the roof rack to warrant travelling so far for the 'best roof rack ever'?surely everything bar ladders go in the van and so a less 'fancy pants' rack would have sufficed?
I love transits, but that is one ugly looking face on a van, what have ford done....
-
Transit custom is probably one of the sexiest vans about. So goes from
One extreme to the other.

It'll be handy if you need to be toad.

We are not just window cleaners and the racks come in extremely handy - in fact only 15% of our business IS window cleaning.
Racks are hand made to fit the van - they just drop them on and bolt them to the roof.
We always prefer the big vans as opposed to smaller ones - we can fit more in :D and with a rack ON ;D
-
Good politicians answer....
I understand you dont just do window cleaning, but the question was what do you use the rack for to warrant such a 'specialist' roof rack? Not what % of your business is window cleaning....
Genuinley interested btw, as i know a few guys offering multiple exterior cleaning services on a commercial level, with multiple vans like yourself, and most of the gear (bar ladders) is inside the van, hence the the need for most to be in a mwb/lwb semi hightop van....
