Load securing for the next adventure with Molle Boards
For all vanlife enthusiasts with a VW Transporter or California, our Molle boards offer an ingenious way to safely and flexibly store equipment on the vehicle. Whether it's a surfboard, wheel chocks, spade, shovel, axe or fire extinguisher - everything stays firmly in its place.
Lateral overhang: How to remain compliant with the Road Traffic Act
The road traffic regulations (StVO) allow loads up to 40 cm beyond the vehicle lights . Perfect for the Volkswagen T6.1 California with a width of 1904 mm without mirrors. A Molle board can be mounted on both sides, so there is still space for thick ramps - and all this under the 2.55 m total width . For uncertain visibility conditions, we recommend our cool-looking rubber brackets or tensioning straps to secure the load firmly.
Rear overhang: More space on the bike rack
The load can extend 1.5 m to the rear; for shorter distances under 100 km, even 3 m . With a Molle board on the bike rack, you can transport a lot of things, e.g. spare tires, fuel canisters, skis and snowboards. For overhangs of 1 meter or more, a red flag or a light is mandatory so that your equipment is clearly visible to everyone.
Installation instructions and special accessories
Avoid sharp edges to prevent damage and injuries. With our rubber equipment holders and tensioning straps, your setup will remain stable and safe even on bumpy terrain. Oh yes, for the surfers, snowboarders or kiters among you: We have the right board holder for every adventure!
