I work in Central Park in Perth CBD which has an 'advertised' height limit of 1950mm and it just clips the height tester thing at access height on the back corner (the ramp is on a weird angle) but nowhere within the car park.

No dramas at the Convention centre carpark, that's advertised as 2100mm but seems very conservative as it's very high!

Seems high but there is bound to be one pipe over a carparks down in the back corner that's low ...

Which rails are you using?

I don't have the LR rail. Hence going for this set, except with the narrower platform of 1528 x 1236mm. There may be additional set of spacers for the narrower platform. Will know more tomorrow.

I am right opposite at BHP building car park.

Those warnings are usually for the LOWEST point you may encounter in the building.Dont be tricked if you JUST rub the warning device.It could be a fire pipe elsewhere at that height

This is an awesome thread. The Pioneer platform seems popular and I can understand why.

but if I dont have factory rails and want just crossbars (I have rhino aero on the Pajero now) for daily use the the platform or basket added only when needed, what do people use??

I don't think it's related to the narrow width. The leg height spacer is recommended by Rhino so that the platform is horizontal when mounted on the tracks which have a slight curve down towards the front. I took the spacers out as soon as I got home. Mine is standard width but I can't see the spacers being required just because the platform is narrow.
