MAXXHAUL Roof Rack Cargo Basket 46 x 36 Black — 150 lb Capacity, Weather-Resistant Steel

The MAXXHAUL 46" x 36" steel roof rack cargo basket is a universal, heavy-duty rooftop carrier that adds 150 lbs of secure, weather-resistant storage to cars, SUVs, vans, and RVs without drilling.

If your vehicle’s interior fills up on weekend trips, this open-frame rooftop basket expands storage capacity by using existing factory or aftermarket crossbars. Built from thick steel with a black powder-coat finish, the MAXXHAUL 70115 is engineered for frequent outdoor use and bolts to crossbars with a simple U-bolt mounting system. Rubber caps protect exposed hardware and help prevent scratching to both cargo and roof rails.

How does this roof basket attach to different vehicles?

The MAXXHAUL carrier uses a universal U-bolt mounting kit that clamps around most crossbars, so installation requires no drilling and works with a wide range of roof rails. All necessary bolts, washers, and rubber caps are included for a straightforward bolt-on setup.

• Universal U-bolts fit round and square crossbars
• Includes mounting hardware and protective rubber caps
• Simple hand tools required for assembly and tightening
• No permanent modifications to the vehicle roof

What can I carry and how much weight is safe?

This rooftop basket supports a recommended maximum evenly distributed load of 150 lb, suitable for luggage, soft bags, coolers, camping gear, and bulky items that won’t fit inside. Even distribution across the basket and secure tie-downs are important for safe transport and to avoid exceeding your vehicle’s roof load limit.

• 150 lb evenly distributed capacity
• Raised side rails and mesh base prevent shifting
• Use straps or nets to secure loose cargo
• Always check vehicle roof load rating before use

How does it stand up to weather and long trips?

The steel frame is finished with a durable powder coat to resist rust and corrosion from rain, road salt, and UV exposure. The basket’s open mesh design allows water to drain and reduces wind uplift while side rails help keep cargo contained during highway driving.

• Black powder-coated steel for corrosion resistance
• Open mesh floor drains water and reduces wind drag
• Protective rubber hardware caps prevent scratching
• Rounded rails reduce noise and snagging on straps

Will this fit my car, SUV, or RV crossbars?

The carrier is designed for broad compatibility with factory and aftermarket crossbars on cars, SUVs, vans, and many RVs. While pickup truck bed racks sometimes provide alternative cargo solutions, the MAXXHAUL basket works on most rooftop crossbars when proper bar spacing and load limits are observed.

• Fits most factory and aftermarket crossbars
• Commonly compatible with cars, SUVs, vans, and RVs
• Confirm crossbar width and spacing before purchasing
• Not intended as a substitute for heavy-duty truck bed racks

Who is this for: The MAXXHAUL 70115 roof rack cargo basket is ideal for drivers who need extra, secure exterior storage for weekend getaways, camping trips, or moving bulky items without sacrificing interior space. It's aimed at owners of cars, SUVs, vans, and many RVs who want a durable, easy-to-install carrier that resists weathering and keeps gear accessible. If you regularly transport coolers, luggage, or oversized equipment and prefer a bolt-on solution that won’t require drilling, this steel rooftop basket is a practical choice.
