About Wedgetail Rack

Established in 1978, Wedgetail Rack is a third-generation, family-owned business proudly manufactured in Bayswater, Victoria. With over 46 years of experience, we’ve perfected the art of designing and building roof racks that are tough enough to handle all of Australia’s roads, from highways to the harshest outback trails.

Originally founded as Tradesman Engineering in a small factory in Huntingdale, our journey has been one of constant growth and innovation. We transitioned to Tradesman Roof Racks and finally became Wedgetail Rack, with a commitment to staying at the forefront of roof rack design and technology. In 2010, we moved to our current, larger facility in Bayswater to meet the demands of our expanding range of commercial, recreational, and SUV roof racks.

At Wedgetail Rack, we are not just manufacturers—we are specialists. We understand that every vehicle and every journey is unique. That’s why we focus on crafting roof racks tailored to meet the individual needs of our customers. Our products are built with precision, using locally sourced raw materials and cutting-edge metal cutting, forming, and welding techniques, allowing us to deliver high-quality, durable, and cost-effective solutions, all while supporting the Australian industry.

As one of Australia’s last remaining roof rack manufacturers, we are proud of our heritage and our commitment to local manufacturing. Every roof rack we produce is designed and manufactured right here in our Bayswater factory, ensuring that the quality and durability of our products meet the highest standards. Whether you’re traversing the outback or outfitting your commercial vehicle, our custom-made roof racks are built to handle whatever the road throws your way
