Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we'll be taking a look at our crossbar clamps for your Yakima LockNLoad platforms, right here at etrailer.com. So you have your Yakima LockNLoad platform rack, or you're considering gaining the LockNLoad platform rack but you wanna make sure it is compatible with the system you already have or are planning on getting. That platform rack can be installed in multiple different ways. It can be installed straight to TimberLine towers, it can be installed to your crossbars, and that's what we're gonna be taking a look at. We're gonna take a look at the crossbar clamps for this platform rack, just to see if it's the right fit for you, the system you already have or want to put on your vehicle, as well as your platform.
So my personal thoughts about the crossbar clamps is that they're really helpful for if you already have a roof rack system on your vehicle, and you just wanna add the platform rack, because then if you want to, you can take the platform rack on and you'll still have your crossbars on your vehicle ready to use it as a roof rack. Now you also have different options when it comes to Yakima LockNLoad platform racks when it comes to securing them to your vehicle. It's really nice to know that you have crossbar clamps available for when you already have a system. That way, you don't have to invest in even more parts than you need to. So on all, the install process is very simple as long as you follow the instructions.
If you get confused, go ahead and rewatch this video that hopefully, that will help guide you through the process. You don't need fancy schmancy tools, just 10-millimeter sockets or wrenches, and a half-inch wrench as well, and then you're good to go. We currently have the platform rack size K on our vehicle right here, which is the smallest platform for the LockNLoad series. But this can also fit with any of the platform sizes in the LockNLoad series. So whether it's K, B, J, E, N, or H, you are good to go with these crossbar clamps.
So we have different LockNLoad platform sizes, depending on your vehicle. So K is 55 by 49 inches, B is 60 by 54, J is 76 by 65, E is 84 by 49, N is 84 by 54, and H is 84 by 62. We usually have the different platform sizes fit guide specifically for your vehicle. So check out the etrailer fit guide and put your year, make, and model of vehicle, and look through our roof rack selections. And if you're still not sure if this is gonna fit the roof rack system you have on your vehicle, let's take a look at some dimensions.
So the space that takes up beneath the crossbar, if you're too worried about roof clearance, is it's going to be about one inch from the bottom of the crossbars to the bottom of the clamp. Now I do recommend giving yourself just a little bit more room to move that into place if needed. Also, if you have two-inch square or round tubing, you may need to remove part of this nubule in order to attach it underneath the tubing. So a little extra effort for that. Also, depending on the platform rack, there's a different requirement from minimum to maximum crossbar spread. So that's measuring from the center of one crossbar to the center of another crossbar, I have my crossbar spread at 28 inches apart because I'm using the size K platform, which requires about 27 to 33 inches of crossbar spread. So check out the requirements for the platform for your vehicle to also see if your crossbars on there are far apart enough. These crossbar clamps come in a set of two. So you need one set per crossbar. In our case, we have two crossbars, so you need four total. So go ahead and pick up two of these sets. If you are getting the kit, which has the LockNLoad with the clamps included, which you can find here at etrailer, you don't have to worry about the quantity of clamps that you will receive. You'll receive four automatically. But if you're adding this to your own system, go ahead and get two sets. We have these installed on our Yakima TimberLine towers and our Yakima aero crossbars. But if you have other crossbars from a different brand, if you have aero, round, square, elliptical, or even factory crossbars, these clamps can fit around them. Even if you have two-inch square or round tubing, for those people who like to DIY their own roof rack system, these crossbars can fit around those too. Most of what you see here is the LockNLoad platform or our crossbars. So let's point out what actually comes with this kit. So notice how we have these
