Start Your Modular Journey Today: RacksBrax = Choice

Your 4WD should work for you.

It should be ready for the daily commute on Monday, loaded for a weekend away on Friday and configured exactly how you want it when adventure calls.

Set up your vehicle just how you like it.

But the problem with many 4WD setups is that once the accessories are fitted, they tend to stay there.

  • Awning permanently mounted.
  • Recovery boards permanently attached.
  • Shower tent sitting on the roof.
  • Camping gear taking up space - even when you’re not camping.

RacksBrax changes that.

RacksBrax is more than a quick-release awning hitch. It’s a modular approach to your 4WD that gives you choice - allowing compatible awnings and accessories to be quickly removed, swapped and stored so you can configure your vehicle for the job at hand.

RacksBrax = Choice

RacksBrax currently offers compatibility with more than 60 leading 4WD accessory brands, giving you the freedom to build your setup around the gear you already own or the equipment you plan to buy.

And it isn’t just about awnings.

The RacksBrax system can be used with a growing range of roof-rack-mounted accessories, including pull-out awnings, 180°, 270° and 360° awnings, shower tents, recovery boards and other accessories.

That means one vehicle can have multiple configurations.

Camping setup?

Fit the awning.

Recovery adventure?

Fit the recovery boards.

Need a shower?

Take the shower tent.

Everyday driving?

Take accessories off.

That’s the beauty of fast on, fast off.

Hundreds of Accessory Possibilities

Once you stop thinking about RacksBrax as simply an awning bracket, the possibilities become much bigger.

The HD Hitch system is designed to work with pull-out awnings, shower tents, recovery boards and other roof-rack accessories.

Recovery boards such as MAXTRAX and TRED can be mounted using RacksBrax HD Accessory Bars, Gen 2 Plate together with the RacksBrax HD Hitch allowing them to be removed in seconds when they’re not required.

And shower and ensuite accessories can also use the HD Hitch system, providing the same fast on, fast off approach to another essential piece of camping equipment.

Suddenly, your roof rack isn’t a permanent collection of accessories.
It’s a platform for interchangeable equipment.

Build Your Setup Around Your Adventure

Every 4WD owner uses their vehicle differently.

Some weekends are about camping with the family. Others are about serious off-road driving. Sometimes you’re towing. Sometimes you’re commuting. Sometimes you simply need the vehicle to get you to work.

Why should the vehicle have to remain configured for one purpose?

With RacksBrax, compatible accessories can be taken off when they’re not needed and added when for the next adventure. That gives you the ability to create a setup that changes with your plans.

Monday: Daily driver.

Friday: Camping rig.

Saturday: Off-road adventure.

Sunday night: Back to everyday mode.

You don’t need four different vehicles. You need a more flexible system.

Take Your Camping Gear Off the Vehicle

One of the biggest advantages of a modular setup is the ability to remove equipment when you’re not using it.

A large awning doesn’t need to spend every day exposed to Australian sun, rain and road grime. Recovery boards don’t need to remain on the roof when you’re driving around town. A shower tent doesn’t need to occupy roof space between camping trips.

RacksBrax makes removing these accessories practical because the quick-release system eliminates the need to repeatedly undo conventional nuts and bolts. And once the gear is off the vehicle, storage becomes part of the system.

Easy Storage: Take It Off and Put It on the Wall

RacksBrax HD Wall Mounts allow awnings, shower accessories and recovery boards to be moved directly onto a wall for storage.

Think about what that means for your garage. Instead of an awning leaning against a wall or recovery boards taking up floor space, your camping equipment can be stored neatly and ready for the next trip.

Lockable wall-mount options are also available for situations where additional security is required.

✓ The vehicle becomes cleaner.

✓ The garage becomes more organised.

✓ And your camping gear gets a proper home.

Get Your Headroom Back

There’s another benefit to removing roof-mounted accessories: headroom.

A roof rack loaded with an awning or recovery boards can make the difference between fitting comfortably into a garage or car park and having to find somewhere else to park.

The RacksBrax set-up allows you to reduce your headroom by up to 150 mm for certain recovery-board configurations.

That is a very practical advantage. You aren’t just removing weight. You’re changing the physical profile of your vehicle.

Precision Engineering Behind the Modular Set-up

Modularity only works when the connection between components is properly engineered.

RacksBrax HD and XD Hitches are designed around defined mounting geometries and load limits, rather than being a generic bracket intended to fit everything.

The current RacksBrax specification provides a maximum load of 20 kg per hitch load point, with the appropriate number of mounting points determined by the particular accessory and its recommended configuration.

That means choosing the correct hitch, bracket and accessory combination remains essential.

The objective isn’t simply to make accessories removable. It’s to create a repeatable, secure and engineered connection that allows those accessories to become part of a modular vehicle system.

One Vehicle. Multiple Setups.

Imagine starting with a roof rack and your favourite camping awning. That’s setup number one.

Then add RacksBrax-compatible recovery board mounting. Setup number two.

Add a shower or ensuite tent. Setup number three.

The hardware stays on the vehicle where appropriate, while the accessories can be swapped depending on what you’re doing.

That’s a very different way of thinking about a 4WD build.

Instead of asking: “What accessories can I fit?”

Ask: “What accessories do I want to be able to use?”

That’s the RacksBrax philosophy.

Australian Made. Built Around Choice.

RacksBrax is a family-owned Australian business, and its products are manufactured in Australia.

That Australian engineering and manufacturing heritage sits behind a system designed to solve a very practical problem:

How do you make your 4WD more capable without making it permanently loaded with equipment?

The answer is built into the modular design.

The answer is choice.

And the answer is being able to change your vehicle configuration without reaching for a toolbox every time.
