Afternoon all

Can anyone recommend anywhere for decent (not cheap) roof bars with roller system for a LWB Transporter?

Thanks
Tom

The ulti bars, although fairly cheap, are very good.
I had some more expensive bars on my old van and they rusted and looked s#it after 2 years.

I just have two bars with load stops.  It's fine for a 3.5m double.  £60 off ebay.

theres a company called Bri-stor that manufactures great roof equipment. their bits are used on most council, satellite and bt vans.  i have ladder slides and end stops on my berlingo. 

only problem is finding a supplier.  give them a google and see what you can find.

If you want it for ladders storage then the pull down type system makes loading ladders a doddle.

I have the Bri-stor version that came already fitted on the van

no like this......its fixed to the roof bars.  makes it easier loading and unloading and not faffing around getting it lined up straight.

P.S.  ignore the fact that I'm in the pic.  the missus took loads for my website

Larger high top van are a bit more difficult to store ladders on roof bars so thats why I went for the pull down system myself.

I kind of get what your saying Papa Smurf.

Happy with my bars and ladder roller though. I can load the ladders with the rear doors open or shut.. Stand on the back wheel and put clamp on
