Can I wash my Titan Tray in an automatic car wash?

It is generally not recommended to wash your Titan Tray in an automatic car wash, for the following reasons:

  • Risk of Scratches: Automatic car washes that use bristle brushes can potentially scratch the surface of the Titan Tray, which is coated with a stipple powder for durability. This coating can be damaged by abrasive materials.
  • Chemical Exposure: Some automatic washes use harsh chemicals that may not be suitable for the materials used in the Titan Tray. Over time, these chemicals can degrade the finish or protective coating.
  • Design Considerations: The Titan Tray is designed for heavy-duty use and may have accessories or attachments that could be dislodged or damaged in a car wash environment.

For best results, it is advisable to wash the Titan Tray by hand using mild soap and water, ensuring that you maintain its appearance and integrity. If you must use an automatic wash, opt for a touchless wash that minimizes physical contact with the tray.

I am looking to purchase a Titan Tray. How can these be mounted to my vehicle?

The Titan Tray can be mounted to your vehicle in a few different ways:

  • On top of existing roof rack crossbars: The Titan Tray comes with T-bolt connectors that allow it to be mounted directly on top of most roof rack crossbars that have a mounting channel.
  • Using the Rola Ridge Mount system: This is a dedicated mounting system for the Titan Tray that attaches directly to your vehicle's roof.

  • When mounting the Titan Tray, always ensure you follow the product fitment instructions and consider your vehicle's specific roof load rating when installing and using the Titan Tray.
My outer planks are lose, what’s happening?

Your outer planks are loose because you have not fully completed the assembly process. Here are a few key points to consider:

  • Loose screws: The instructions mention to initially screw the planks together loosely. As stated in the guide: "Don't tighten the screws too much otherwise you'll find a couple of upcoming steps really hard".
  • Mounting blocks: You need to insert the mounting blocks between the outermost inner planks and the side planks. This step helps secure the structure.
  • Interconnecting blocks: These blocks need to be inserted in the gaps between the mounting blocks. They are crucial for binding the internal planks together, especially when using the Ridge Mount or Low Mount systems.
  • Final tightening: After inserting all the blocks and completing the assembly, you should tighten all the screws to secure the structure.
  • Corner pieces: Ensure the corner pieces are correctly inserted. Inserting them incorrectly can cause alignment issues.

To fix your loose outer planks:

  • Check that you have inserted all the necessary mounting and interconnecting blocks.
  • Ensure all corner pieces are correctly placed.
  • Verify that all screws are in place.
  • Once you have confirmed everything is in its proper position, tighten all the screws securely.

If you are still having issues after following these steps, you may want to consult the instruction manual or contact Rola customer support for further assistance.

What is the load rating of the Titan Tray?

The Titan Tray has a static load rating of 400kg. It  is important to note that while the tray itself can support up to 400kg, the actual maximum load you can carry depends on your vehicle's roof load rating, always check the owners manual to determine this. Note also that this is a static load rating and only applies when the
vehicle is stationary. When in motion the Titan Tray load rating reduces to
100kg.

The Titan Tray is designed to be lightweight yet strong. The 1200x1500mm version weighs only 20kg, allowing you to maximize your payload capacity within your vehicle's roof load limits. When using the Titan Tray, always consult your vehicle's owner manual to determine the maximum roof load rating and ensure you don't exceed it, regardless of the tray's higher capacity.

What patents does the Titan Tray have?

Titan Tray has the following patented features:

  • Patented channels on all outer edges: The Titan Tray features patented channels along all of its outer edges. These channels provide flexibility for mounting accessories.
  • Centre entry points: The patented outer edge channels include new centre entry points, which increase usable space and attachment options.

These patented elements contribute to the tray's versatility and ability to accommodate various accessories and mounting configurations. The patented channels, combined with other features like adjustable planks and hook attachments, allow users to customise the tray for their specific needs and mount a wide range of accessories securely

What’s the maximum load rating for titan tray?

The maximum load rating for the Titan Tray MKIII is 400kg. This is an increase from the previous model, which had a load rating of 300kg.

  • The Titan Tray itself is rated to hold up to 400kg.
  • Many vehicles have a roof load rating of around 100kg.

When used with the Rola Ridge Mount system, the combined Titan Tray and Ridge Mount are rated to hold 300kg. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual to determine the maximum roof load rating and ensure you do not exceed it, regardless of the tray's higher capacity. Additionally, off-road capacity may be less than on-road capacity.
