Lateral Rooftop Cargo Racks

The 'ACS Roof' Offers Unencumbered Access to Well-Protected Gear

— September 23, 2023 — Autos
Leitner Designs, a California-based company that specializes in handy amenities and accessories designed for four-wheeler vehicles, has introduced an innovatively designed rooftop cargo rack that assumes a different approach from conventional products in the fact that it is accessible from the side rather than on top.

The 'ACS Roof' is a rooftop cargo system whose door can be easily flipped open to access its contents. This makes it possible for users to go about accessing gear that's situated inside the rack without having to awkwardly clamber up the vehicle, or indeed without having to deploy any tools or hardware due to the fact that the rack comes with integrated locks.

What's more, this rooftop cargo rack is ruggedly weatherproof, ensuring that your precious gear remains protected from the elements.
