Going camping?
We believe our Family roofboxes will suit your needs.
Boxes are bulky items so the ideal
place to store them is above your car in the garage, or in a shed. Many
people will leave the box attached to the bars, and also use the box for
storage. If you don't want a box hoist we're offering an alternative useful
item (of lower
value).

Karrite's
320 roof boxes (£89.95) have been our best selling budget boxes for several years now. They're
a really useful size, a rear opening box, decent quality, made of "Duotek",
with a single rear lock and a 5 year guarantee. Also available as a package
deal with CRUZ roof bars.
Thule Atlantis roofboxes
The Atlantis boxes are our favourite Thule
roof box range. They are now all available in "glossy black" as well as the
standard silver gloss, including the Long Thin Thule Atlantis 600 (silver / black), where
the glossy black
(pictured) is exclusive to The Roof Box Company. The Thule Atlantis 900 (silver / black) is a Long
Wide roofbox which will leave space for one bike carrier if used on 120cm
aerobars, allowing e.g. one bike on the roof and four on a tow ball carrier.
The Thule Atlantis 780 (silver / black) is probably
nearer 440 than 480 litres; it's a bit longer, lower and narrower than
the chunkier Atlantis 200 (silver / black), leaving
space for two bike carriers with aerobars of minimum 120cm, as well as providing
space for carving skis and just looking better.
Auto Express roof box test 2010
Auto Express have given their Best Buy award to a KAMEI box for the fourth time in a row: 1st Prize to the KAMEI Husky XXL (£249.95)- see NEWS for further information - 2nd Prize to the KAMEI Corvara 390K DuoLift (£279.95), 3rd Prize to the Hapro Roady 422 (£144.95).
By common consent KAMEI (Germany) makes the best quality and best engineered boxes on the market; they never go wrong, and they
Thule Ocean 780 roof box
The Thule Ocean 780 (£209.90) is a 470 litre medium long medium wide roof box, and is a top seller in mainland Europe, so we don't know why Thule doesn't include it in their standard UK range. No matter - we have them in stock, exclusive to The Roof Box Company, and they're excellent value for money as well as looking really good.
keep on looking good well beyond their 6 year guarantee period. KAMEI's "pull to shut" central locking system genuinely makes a massive difference to real world usefulness and customer satisfaction – we reckon this was the most fundamental change in roof box design in the last ten years. Their Husky XXL provides KAMEI quality and safety at a mid market price, with several innovations, so it's a worthy winner of the 2010 Auto Express Best Buy award. If you want a KAMEI box, and you also need a set of roof bars, check out our roof box and roof bar package deals.
Autoform Denver 650 roofbox
Several manufacturers claim to have the "biggest box on the market", but when you compare both the cartons and the boxes side by side, it's very clear that Autoform's Denver 650 takes this prize. Chemmy Alcott, Britain's top female skier, chose the Denver 650 because of its length and huge volume. Click on the image to see her winter driving tips, with additional footage of the Denver 650.
The Denver is available in black, silver, metallic black and metallic silver.
Our product range is organised by roof box shape (L-R): 1. Short roofboxes, 2. Family Medium Long Medium Wide box 3. Family Long Medium Wide boxes 4. Long Thin boxes, 5.
Long Wide boxes.
Double the space!
If you want huge capacity but also maximum flexibility you should give serious thought to using 2 boxes. Handling and storage is much easier and e.g. you’d only fit one of them if you also need to carry bikes, or a kayak. One for wet and dirty gear, one for dry and clean gear? The KAMEI 300s (left) incorporate all the features of the award winning KAMEI Delphin range.
Atera Carver II series
Atera's Carver II range has been comprehensively redesigned and upgraded, with specifications that place them in the Thule Atlantis league for all round quality. They have a contemporary and individual design which combines strength with practicality - the design brief was that they should be "robust, attractive, secure, spacious". They've been thoroughly tested and approved by the German TÜV, including "City Crash testing" which is becoming a norm in our sector. They all have a 75kg load limit and a 5 year guarantee, and some also have dual side opening.
The highlight of the range is the Atera Carver II 440 (£249.95), a dual side opening all round family luggage carrier which should allow space on the roof bars for at least one bike carrier, especially if fitted to aerobars, and will take carving skis to 185cm. The long wide Atera Carver II 550 (£284.95) and the long thin Atera Carver II 330 (£199.95) are also available.
Limited edition KAMEI Corvara 475 "White
Star"
We have a limited number of the superb KAMEI
Corvara 475 "White Star" DuoLift roofboxes in a gloss white
finish, a white top on a white base. Almost £395 a pop, but
you're paying for exclusivity as well as quality, and of course they'll
reflect the sun better than any other box available. The KAMEI Corvara 475 Duolift is also available in silver, titanium metallic and black metallic.
Thule Ranger 90 roof bag no. 6011
Thule's fabric 340 litre Ranger
90 roof bag no. 6011 (£144.95) is ideal for people who have limited storage space.
It weighs 7kg and rolls up to only 120cm long by 27cm diameter. It’s
easy to fit and to load because the whole top unzips, but the downside is
the lack of security. It's also available as a package
deal with CRUZ bars.
