Are you looking for something with a more aggressive footprint than our Low Pro Series Roof Racks? The Transit Safari Rack is designed to fit the bill.

Our Transit Safari Rack comes with built-in Aluminum decking that's L-track compatible. As with all of our products, the construction is the highest quality. We are using a 1-1/4" round bar, and the decking is 3/16" Aluminum that's laser cut to allow for L-track stud mounting points, so you can easily mount up solar panels, MaxTrax, storage boxes, and other gear for your adventures.

The custom laser-cut decking system allows the Builder or DIY'er to cut a fan in where ever they need and add the provided trim ring once they are done. Long gone are the days of waiting weeks or months for a custom fabricated roof rack to arrive. Safari Racks ship out within 48 hours and most are delivered in less than a week.

Our Transit Safari Rack features built-in mounting brackets for a Fiamma F45S roof mount awning providing full coverage on those rainy days. We recommend this style of awning if you’re trying to stay dry.

The Transit Safari rack weighs roughly 250 lbs. so it's easily lifted with pulleys and a winch or a forklift.
1x Fan trim ring is included with the rack - additional trim rings are available here.
Brackets for mounting the Fiamma F45 Awning are included with the rack.
Brackets for mounting the Transit Side Ladder are included with the rack.
Compatible with most Roof Top Tents (RTT's)

Fuel Your Adventures

The Transit Safari Rack is made from 1 ¼” Aluminum round bar and features a 3/16" thick decking that’s laser cut and includes strategically placed L-track compatible mounting points throughout. Everything we design and sell is built to live with your van for the life of your van.

Our Transit Safari Rack is the perfect place to catch the sunset and store all your extra gear. The extra square footage provided nearly doubles the amount of liveable space when you add a RoofNest or other rooftop tent.

Stay Protected From The Elements & Light Up The Night

The Safari Rack is extremely versatile and designed to accommodate lights and an awning. Mount up the Fiamma F45S awning for protection from the sun or rain, and add lights or a light bar to brighten up the trails at night.

All Safari Racks come standard with built-in mounting plates for the Fiamma F45S and other wall mount style awnings. This setup ensures protection from the elements and eliminates any gaps where inclement weather can make it through.

Fast & Free Shipping To The Lower 48

Unlike other Transit roof rack companies, we stock our products and have live inventory on our website - when it says it's available to purchase, we have it sitting in our warehouse. In stock Transit Racks ship out for free within 1-2 business days to the lower 48. No hidden fees or extra charges after checkout.

The Transit Safari Rack is a large item. It ships via freight, so we highly recommend having a forklift or a few friends ready when it arrives. If you don’t have that option, we recommend visiting our Certified Installer page and setting up your delivery and installation through them.

Rock Solid!

IT’S SOLID! Had it for two months now. It’s everything you want in a platform that sits on top of your van. Sturdy enough to watch the fireworks from on the 4th of July. With the rails around it, it’s Easy to load up with tents, chairs and tables for camping. Having the L-track connection points make it very user friendly. Hooking straps around the side rails is okay, but using the L track connectors is the way to go. You can move your straps almost anywhere on top of the rack and have an extremely solid tie down point. You can buy them on amazon in packs of 10 for about $20. I tried a few but I like these the best.. Brand is Gripon (Single Stud L-Track Fitting with D Ring for L Track/Airline) Bought a couple of low profile chairs from REI to sit on top of the deck - great venue for reading or computer work. I can’t say enough good about the safari rack - so happy I purchased it! Also, Very happy with FVC.. going to order Fiamma awning next.
BTW- it took 3 guys to position it on top of my Ford 2020 AWD XLT Van. Took us about 3 hours to complete everything from beginning to end. We took it very slow - did not want a single scratch on my new van.

Thanks for the review, Rodney! Your Transit van is looking great, and thanks for letting us be part of your build.

Best platform rack on the market! Not too bulky/looks great.

We recently purchased a 2020 Ford Transit AWD XLT as Stewart Surfboards company van for everything from trips to Baja, evenings at San-O, delivering surfboards to our retailers and more. Our search for a rack was exhausting on the internet until a customer recommended we check out Flatline. We got really excited about the low pro rack but once we started going thru the additional opportunities that the safari gives you we switched gears. The craftsman ship on this rack is not only clever (we love the built in, laser cut “L-Track” anchor points) and stout, you can easily lift this rack up with an adult on either end (prior to mounting). Attaching the Safari rack to the top of the van was easier than expected and we did not get a professional up fitter to do so. The mounting feet screw into the Ford factory rack attachment points and we ran a bead of silicone around each bolt (and on the threads) to eliminate any water intrusion down the road. Luckily our neighbor had a forklift and we were able to set it gently down on the mounting brackets and bolt together. We did spend quite a bit of time measuring and even building a template to cut a hole in the rack for our MaxxFan. Happy to say we nailed it!! The roof rack is sturdy enough for multiple adults to stand on and a great place to check the surf. We also added the transit side ladder from Flatline which bolts onto the rack with supplied mounting hardware. The ladder is surprisingly sturdy.

2020 AWD

Rack looks amazing on my 2020 awd high roof transit. It actually makes the van feel a touch less tall because it gives a visual break to the van, I dig it a lot. Amazing platform to stand on and mount solar panels.
