To find out what you may need on your vehicle, keep reading below or get in touch with our team. Phone our office on 02 6113 0549 or enquire online here.

Transporting Equipment Safely
To transport your equipment safely, you’ll need a good set of roof racks (see our roof rack blog here) and specific holders for the equipment you are carrying.
We have kayak and canoe holders that help carry more than one at a time or specific straps for your boards that will not damage them but tie them securely.
At Canberra Towbar Fitters, we even have products that will assist you in loading your gear up onto the roof of your car.
All products we sell come with full fitting instructions both online and in paper so if you are handy, you can fit them yourself.
Our Fitting Services
We offer a full supply and fit service in house and most products only take an hour or so to fit.
You can also come in and talk with our team and we will supply you with what you need and give you some tips on how to put them on yourself.
