Rooftop Platform Rack

THE DEK™

Pushing the boundaries of rooftop platform racks, the DEK is for those who seek the perfect blend of style, utility, and performance.

A roof platform rack converts your vehicle’s roof into a flat, stable surface for hauling extra gear for any outdoor adventure. Unlike traditional crossbars, platform racks offer more usable space and greater versatility—ideal for mounting cargo boxes, bikes, kayaks, rooftop tents, or recovery gear. With a low-profile design, they help reduce wind drag while providing a rugged foundation for overlanding, vacation, or camping use. Whether you're heading off-grid or just need additional storage during a road trip, the Kuat DEK platform rack turns your roof into a customizable rooftop storage solution.

Which Mounting Type is right for you?

The DEK™ is available in two mounting styles, one for crossbar mounting, and one for mounting on fixed mounting points already on specific vehicles. All models come with mounting hardware.
