The present invention relates to a vehicle rack arrangement (10) comprises a load carrying bar (29 and at least a first clamp rack load carrier foot (50). The first clamp rack load carrier foot (50) comprises a grip member (80), a body (55), an attachment arrangement (90) and optionally an intermediate member (70). The load carrier foot (50) comprises a connection arrangement (50) which interacts with a stop surface (25a, 25b) of a load carrying bar (20) in a retaining manner to thereby, when operating the attachment arrangement (90), impart a force component to the load carrying bar (20) towards the body (55). A stop surface (25b) of the load carrying bar (20) prevents the connection arrangement (51) from displacement in a direction parallel with the longitudinal direction (X) of the load carrying bar (20), after assembly therewith. The present invention provides for a load carrier foot (50) having very few distinct components, which is cheap to manufacture and which enables an end user to connect the clamp rack load carrier foot (50) to a load carrying bar (20) in a simple and easy manner.
A vehicle rack arrangement comprising a load carrying bar and at least a first clamp rack load carrier foot, said clamp rack load carrier foot comprising a body comprising a support surface adapted to be positioned against a first surface of a vehicle, a grip member adapted to grip a second surface of said vehicle;
A vehicle top rack arrangement comprising a load carrying bar and at least a first clamp rack load carrier foot comprising a body comprising a support surface adapted to be positioned against a first surface of a vehicle, a grip member adapted to grip a second surface of said vehicle, said grip member being arranged in working cooperation with an intermediate member via an attachment arrangement,
