When driving home by car, the load increases more than usual. In addition to passengers, baggage must be considered. So many cars to go home, keep the objects on the roof because the inside is full of people and other objects.

There is a solution to increase luggage capacity by installing the trunk on the roof. As the name suggests, add a storage box to the roof of the car. But there are some things to consider when using a trunk on the roof. What're you doing?

Second appointment, luggage rack increases the capacity of the trunk and reduces the overload of the vehicle. This was the first advantage to bring more things into the car. The accommodation, all seats in the cabin are fully loaded, sometimes even more, and the luggage is also full of goods. When this is not enough, the roof box is the solution.

According to Sony Susmana of security protection consultant in Indonesia (SDCI), with good handling of the installation between hand luggage and luggage carrier this can reduce driver interference and increase the level of safety. How'd it go? "Box covers only divide evenly or use of available space.

Therefore, the luggage carrier cannot overload the car. If it is overloaded, the danger is that the balance of the vehicle and the heavier work of the tyre," he said when contacted WhatsApp short board.

So, for example, if the object is only clogged in the trunk, it can be full and high, which Violates the visibility of the driver on the back. If your visibility is compromised, there's a risk of an accident. The overload also has the risk of accidents. Because if the car is overloaded, the balance of the vehicle will be broken. The work of the car components on the feet and the work of the driver becomes heavier.

Although the lack of use of the trunk on the roof is also due to the load. For adding components on the roof of a gravity point of the car also moves upwards, bringing the point of balance of the car changes from normal. The car will also become more confused because of the increase in size. In this case, this will affect the movement, so it is necessary to consider the speed. According to Sony, the speed is reduced by 10 km / h from the recommended speed. For example, on a toll road with a recommended speed of 60-80 km / h. Lower speed to 50-70 km / h.

The increase of objects above also affects aerodynamics. I mean, the speed of the vehicle is more restrained by the wind. The effect is long-lasting, certainly more expensive fuel consumption. Reduced aerodynamics also affects driving in terms of stability. Although the shape of the boot on the roof is basically standard, which corresponds to the aerodynamic method, it cannot yet fully drain the air. Especially when it goes up on the side.

"The safe speed (when using the trunk on the roof) on the road refers to the signs. All right, cut 10 km / h. If you feel that at this speed the wind that makes the car uncertain, you will reduce the speed again. "Sony said.

So when you want to use the roof box, make sure the shape and size match. Recommended size, half the body length. Keep in mind, that for cars, not trunk on the roof, must be installed first. The luggage rack acts as a luggage rack on the roof. Finally, diligently checking luggage racks and trunk on the roof, there is the fear that the installation will be weakened. In addition, several factors can also cause a weakening of the installation.
