Yes… Canadian & US Law requires that all Hard Top Vehicles’ Roofs must be
able to withstand the weight of that vehicle, in the case of a soft roll
over. This is to say that the A, B, & C Pillars must be able to withstand
over 2000 pounds of force not to mention the lateral forces incurred
during a roll over.
Even with 4 Heavy adults in the CartopRetreat, each weighing in excess of
250 pounds, your vehicles’ roof is only at 50% of capacity. Factor in
that the Ladder of the CartopRetreat is carrying 33% or more, of the
weight of the box, & you can see that your vehicle is easily able to
support the CartopRetreat box & its occupants. |
