The versatility of the original CROC HINGE® foldable bracket system is also available specifically for your 4WD awning or shower tent.
By transitioning your awning onto the roof rack you can protect it from damage when driving in close terrain. It also gives the potential to reduce the height of your vehicle to get into those underground carparks.
The patented-pending CROC HINGE® system allows for the convenient, controlled and assisted movement of accessories fitted to the bracket between two positions – a stowed position where the accessory rests on the roof rack and a deployed position where the accessory is located at a lateral position on the side edge of the roof rack.
The most creative mounting solution for your accessories.

By transitioning your awning onto the roof rack you can protect it from damage when driving in close terrain. It also provides the potential to reduce the height of your vehicle to get into those underground carparks.
The awning specific version of the CROC HINGE® 4×4 bracket offers the exact same functionality and versatility as the original (available here), the only difference is that it has a shorter product leg making it ideal for mounting a vehicle awning. When the awning is in use i.e. extended, we always recommend you tie it down so that it’s secure.
Fitting a CROC HINGE® 4×4 awning bracket to your roof rack lets you easily move your awning between two positions:

CROC HINGE® foldable brackets are designed to suit most popular flat roof racks:
RHINO RACK FLAT STYLES (PIONEER SERIES)
ARB BASE RACK – requires t-slot adaptors which can be purchased directly from ARB
ROLA TITAN – requires own hardware i.e. channels nuts given our products come standard with M8 channel nuts.
YAKIMA FLAT ROOF RACKS – due to the side-to-side cross members on this style of roof rack the spacing permits the mounting of MaxTrax however TREDS requires a Bridge Plate (sold separately).
FRONT RUNNER ROOF RACKS – due to the raised outer lip that’s characteristic of this style of roof rack CROC HINGE® mounting brackets are only suitable in combination with spacers (sold separately).
DIRECT TO A CANOPY
MESH STYLE ROOF RACKS – the CROC HINGE® Bracket will fit a flat roof rack with ‘mesh’ style flooring however you will require a bridging plate.
If you have an alternative brand of roof rack or recovery boards please send us an enquiry and we can discuss suitability.

One bracket, two positions. Stow flat on the rack or deploy to the side. Switch in seconds.
Flat on the rack or deployed to the side. Switch between the two in seconds. No removal, no compromise.
Laying your awning flat on the rack can potentially* lower your vehicle's profile, helping you clear carparks, garages and low overhangs.
Branches, banks and tight terrain can damage exposed gear. Folding flat keeps your awning and boards safe from snags.
All you need is a spanner. Seriously. No drilling, no hassle.
Lynne H –
Great quality product. Fantastic idea to protect an awning. It’s wonderful to see a company offer an Australian made range too.
Andy Knighton –
Such a fantastic product.
Having a big Nissan Patrol Y62 the 270 awning then makes it even wider which is a pain on tight tracks, but with the Croc Hinge it just lies on top of the roof. Then when you want to use it it’s simple to flick to upright again.
We also have the Croc Hinge recovery board brackets. The brackets are great however our roof platform is not one I’d recommend. A little adapter was required to make it work. Willow came out to see me & assisted with making a temporary one but then went away & designed a piece to go with the Croc Hinge so no one else with my type of platform would have the problem. He then also came out to fit these onto my set up. Great customer service!

Hi a big shout out to Croc Hinge for a fantastic product that has solved my problem with getting my awning up higher by using the black spacers, it allowed the height I needed to get the clearance above the bat wing doors when it is opened on the canopy without hitting the support rails of the awning, and folding the awning back down onto the roof top so it doesn’t sit to high for travelling.
The service provided by the owner/inventor of this product was outstanding above and beyond when all the other experts in the industry that I asked for help said it wasn’t possible, well they were wrong. Would recommend this product to anyone.
