A roof rack cops plenty of punishment once you leave the bitumen, whether you’re heading into the High Country, chasing fishing spots along the coast or setting up for a remote touring trip.

Yakima’s next-generation LockNLoad Platform (↗) builds on its proven design with updates aimed at making it lighter, easier to use and more versatile on the tracks.

Designed and tested in Australia, the latest LockNLoad Platform features a lighter aluminium construction, additional mounting channels, improved aerodynamics, integrated cable management and compatibility with full-width LED light bars, while retaining the strength, versatility and durability that have made LockNLoad a trusted choice for Australian adventurers.

The lighter design helps maximise available roof load capacity, while the integrated wind deflector helps reduce noise during highway driving. Accessory channels across the top and underside provide more mounting options for touring gear, while integrated cable routing keeps wiring for lights, radios and solar setups protected and neatly tucked away.

A key feature that remains is Yakima’s east-west slat design, which makes mounting gear simple and supports a wide range of touring accessories, often without needing additional adapters. From rooftop tents and awnings to bike carriers, recovery gear, watercraft carriers and general cargo, the platform is designed to adapt to a variety of touring setups.

Designed for everything from weekend trips to longer remote touring adventures, the new LockNLoad Platform (↗) is built to adapt as your setup changes and your travels take you further.
