The innovative Yakima LockNLoad Platform is a super tough addition to Yakima's already great roof rack range.
Every now and again we see a new product that hits all the right buttons, the LockNLoad Platform is one of them. Its the cost effective, tough, flat-load carrying surface solution for 4x4's and utes. Whether you're using it commercially onsite, going camping, surfing or taking your bikes and kayaks on holiday, this rack can do it all.
You rarely see as many possible accessory mounting points on a roof rack as the LockNLoad Platform has. Literally every slat and even the perimeter rails have a 21mm accessory T-slot with drop in cut outs, making it compatible with most popular accessory brands and any Yakima clamp type mounts, so you can easily mount an array of accessoriers and carriers, not just the Yakima brand. Each slat has a 75kg rating, so heavy loads are also no issue for the LockNLoad Platform.
This design means that you can say goodbye to crossbar adaptors, with logical east west oriented slats, making this one super versatile and strong roof rack. Its super tough, made of powdercoated aluminium, with steel corner reinforcements, plus e-coating, which will mean this rack will survive anything you or mother nature can throw at it.
Heavy and uneven loads are no problem for this rack too. The east west design, the spine segments to distribute load front and rear, plus steel corner reinforcements, all work to make sure that loads are always nicely distributed across the platform, even highlift jacks are no issue. At the end of the day it will be your vehicle roof's strength that govern the weight this can carry rather than the roof rack itself.
As far as appearances go, it has a rugged but modern look which will suit most modern vehicles. It mounts directly to the leg or spine giving it a sleek low profile, and even though it has thick military grade looking perimeter rails it still weighs as little as its best competitors. What you see is what you get with this roof rack, its tough, versatile, and modern. It was developed here in Australia for Australian conditions, and it shows. The design has been rigorously tested with 1000's of cycles in Yakima's testing facility using an advanced "Moog" simulation table, plus hundreds of real world testing hours.
The wind noise made by the LockNLoad will vary by vehicle, however, Yakima have done their best to ensure the low profile design and noise control measures they built into the LockNLoad have made this a good performer even at highway speeds. They have included a wind deflector, end caps on the pivot mounts, plus rubber infill to vital places, which all do a nice job of controlling wind noise.
All in all Yakima's LockNLoad platforms are a great choice for anyone looking for a new roof rack system for their vehicle.
