This rack manufactured by us in the UK is made from 25mm Aluminium & Magnesium tube and thus the frame only weighs 1.7kg. The design of this rack allows it to fit in under 30 seconds, no bolts, no brackets, no straps and no paint damage. We manufacture the rack ourselves and it is available in either a black finish thats powder coated or a model thats hand polished and then anodised for a deep shine.
Revo-Rack uses vacuum cup technology originally developed in the 1960's to hold film cameras to cars and still in use today.
The rack sits on three 120mm vacuum cups these are rated as being able to hold an 18kg load each. Vacuum cups are much much stronger than suction cups.
Vacuum cups employ the force of atmospheric pressure to grip a surface: When a vacuum exists between the cup and the surface on which it is attached, the weight of Earth's atmosphere holds the cup in place with incredible force.
Unlike suction cups that produce a vacuum as they pull away from the surface, Revo-Racks vacuum cups use a hand-actuated pump to efficiently remove air from between the rubber pad and the attaching boot/trunk lid thus creating a much more reliable hold. Because the full face of the pad is brought into contact with the boot/trunk lid, distortion is reduced, allowing the cup to be used with very little risk of damage to your SLK please see the video below.
- Measures 900x 420mm
- Sits 75mm off the boot lid

The boot-bag sits on soft non slip matting to protect paintwork its 4mm thick and slightly bigger than the bag no metal hooks or clips to damage paint with this Mercedes SLK boot rack system.
The soft fabric base of a boot-bag has no studs, to cause damage to paintwork. With the addition of the soft mat their is zero risk of paint damage, over 8 years of sales demonstrate this.
boot-bag is supplied with 3 straps lay these out across your open boot.
Then place the boot-bag and matting onto the boot lid, the matting is slightly bigger than the bag. The bag has a zip on 3 sides thats covered by a flap held in place by velco make sure the logo is showing on the right. The side of the bag without the zip faces into the wind.
Then take the ends of the webbing and attach to the 6 ladder lock buckles on top of the bag. These are the same as you would find on a quality rucksack and once the webbing is tight it won't come loose. Detach the shoulder strap.
boot-bag is fully waterproof the two patches on top of the bag are sown then welded so no water can leak through the stitching.
Its even possible to open the boot with the bag attached. Boot-bag is fine on cars with a L shaped boot like this Honda just fill the boot before you lay the straps out.
All boot-bags are hand made in Buckinghamshire, with care and quality materials - they will last a lifetime
