Flatline Van Co. Transit Van Safari Roof Rack


Description

The Flatline Van Co. Transit Safari Roof Rack is built for Ford Transit owners who want a rugged, functional rooftop platform that's genuinely DIY-friendly. Engineered for 2015-2025 Ford Transit 148" Mid Roof vans, this rack gives you the extra space and versatility to haul gear, mount lighting, attach an awning, and even catch a sunset from the roof. No forklift, no fabrication shop - just standard hand tools and a solid afternoon.

Whether you're building out a full-time adventure rig or upgrading a weekend camper van, the Safari Rack delivers the kind of premium construction and thoughtful design that keeps up with you for years. From the integrated wire chase to the removable aluminum decking panels, every detail is engineered for a clean, capable build.


Key Features

  • DIY Forklift-Free Installation: Installs at home with basic hand tools - no heavy equipment or professional installer required.
  • Removable Aluminum Decking Panels: 3/16" thick laser-cut panels are strategically placed so you can cut-in or remove sections for fans and A/C units without extra modification.
  • L-Track Mounting Points: Every decking panel features L-track compatible mounting points for securing cargo, gear boxes, and accessories on the roof.
  • 8020 Crossbars with Built-In Hardware Slots: Makes it easy to mount accessories without drilling - just slide hardware into the integrated slots.
  • Integrated Wire Chase Channel: Runs around the full perimeter of the rack for a clean, protected wiring install for lights and electronics.
  • 1.5" Diameter Aluminum Round Bar Tubing: Used on all sizes for a strong, lightweight frame that's built to last the life of your van.
  • Two Front Style Options: Choose classic Basket Style for maximum deck space, or Drop Front for easy mounting of off-road lights and light bars.
  • Awning Brackets Included: Compatible with the Fiamma F45S and most other wall-mount style awnings - brackets ship standard with every rack.
  • Roof Top Tent (RTT) Compatible: Designed to support most popular roof top tent setups.
  • Fitment: Fits 2015-2025 Ford Transit 150/250/350 - 148" and 148" EXT - Mid and High Roof; also fits 2023-2024 Ford Transit Trail.

Style Options & Which to Choose

  • Basket Style: The classic Safari Rack configuration with a full front rail, maximizing usable deck real estate. Best for van lifers and overlanders who want the most surface area for gear, cargo boxes, or lounging on top of the van.
  • Drop Front: Features a drop-down front bar that creates a lower mounting position perfect for attaching off-road light bars and auxiliary lighting. Also opens up the leading edge of the roof deck for easier access. Ideal for builds focused on trail driving, overlanding, or anyone adding a front light bar.

Why You'll Love It

Flatline Van Co. has earned a loyal following among serious van builders for a simple reason - they design products that actually fit, install cleanly, and hold up over thousands of miles of adventure. The Transit Safari Rack reflects that philosophy from every angle: the integrated wire chase keeps your build looking professional, the removable panels mean you're not forced to cut around your fans and A/C, and the L-track system gives you the flexibility to reconfigure your roof cargo setup on the fly. Customers consistently rave about the precision fit and the satisfying rigidity once the rack is fully installed. If you're building a rig that needs to perform as hard as you push it - through snow, dust, rain, and everything in between - this is the roof rack that belongs on your Transit.

Manuals & Guides

FAQ

Do I need any special tools or equipment to install this rack?

No special tools or heavy equipment are required. The Transit Safari Rack is designed for a DIY install using standard hand tools you likely already own. No forklift is needed. Most customers complete the install in a single day. Installation guides are available for download above.

Will this rack work with my rooftop fan or air conditioner?

Yes - the removable aluminum decking panels are strategically designed so you can remove sections to accommodate existing fans and A/C units without making extra cutouts in the roof. This is one of the Safari Rack's most popular features, as it makes the integration clean and reversible.

Which awnings are compatible with this rack?

The Safari Rack ships with awning attachment brackets compatible with the Fiamma F45S and most other wall-mount style awnings. Flatline recommends the Fiamma F45S for its design and longevity, but many other brands will work with the included brackets.

Can I mount a roof top tent (RTT) on this rack?

Yes, the Transit Safari Rack is compatible with most roof top tents. The deck surface and crossbar system are designed to support RTT mounting setups. If you have a specific tent brand in mind, it's worth confirming load ratings and mounting dimensions before purchasing.

What is the difference between the Basket Style and Drop Front options?

The Basket Style has a classic full front rail that maximizes deck surface area - great for cargo, gear storage, and rooftop lounging. The Drop Front has a lower drop-down front bar designed specifically for mounting off-road lights or a light bar, while also opening up the leading edge of the deck. If you plan to run a front light setup, the Drop Front is the way to go.

Does this rack fit the Ford Transit Trail edition?

Yes - the Safari Rack is confirmed to fit the 2023-2024 Ford Transit Trail in both the 148" and 148" Extended configurations, for Mid and High Roof variants. One customer noted minor adjustment was needed around the Maxx Air fan position, but the adjustable decking panels accommodated it without any modifications.
