What is a Rooftop platform Rack?
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.
CARGO CAPACITY
Constructed entirely from metal and stainless steel components, this system can support up to 300 pounds. It's designed to carry rooftop tents or cargo boxes for extended trips.
ACCESSORY READY
Featuring built-in T-channel slots and various adaptable add-ons, the DEK accommodates any equipment your adventure requires, including kayak carriers, bicycle mounts, and camping gear.
ADJUSTABLE CROSSBARS
The movable crossbars provide full adaptability for your cargo needs. Simply slide them to accommodate different equipment and work around your vehicle's specific elements like sunroofs or antennas. This design maximizes compatibility while maintaining easy access and performance.
LOW PROFILE
The DEK's sleek, streamlined design minimizes wind drag and road noise, delivering a quiet and attractive driving experience across all road conditions.
LIT & UNLIT OPTIONS
A lightbar accessory is available for all DEK™ models. Featuring five Diode Dynamics™ C2 Pro LED units housed in a specially-designed casing, producing more than 15,000 lumens of illumination ahead of the vehicle with a factory-integrated look.
