Calix Nordic Loader roof box, gloss black, no. 1-NL-GB-QG

The Calix Nordic Loader has been designed to maximise load carrying and look as good as possible on the car. This box is very easy on the eye from any angle and there are recesses in the base to accommodate the bars and bring the box closer to the vehicle, It's even got a funnel at the back to accommodate an aerial. The tapered nose section provides exceptional aerodynamics without reducing capacity (there’s obviously not much space in the nose of the box, so it follows that most of the 430 litres is elsewhere!). These all help to minimise wind noise.

It has a double shell made from ABS plastic. This results in exceptional strength and stability. It also gives the box much cleaner lines as you can't see any of the external rivets. It's even got a unique removable 'safety nose' to make your load as secure as possible.

The clever 'Quick Grip' fittings are among the best we have seen. Just tighten the ratchet until they are secure on your bars. Flip the cover over - it won't shut properly unless you've fastened it tight enough. The fittings are particularly low profile and take up very little space in the box.

Other features:

• Made from a double skin ABS plastic
• Maximum load limit: 75kg
• Dual side opening - to make fitting and using the box easier
• Three central locking points, three super strong hinges
• Strong spring struts for wide and easy opening
• Comes with 'Quick Grip' fittings that take up very little space in the box - they fit around all the bars we well sell
• Easy to load: includes an integrated handle and low load edges
• Includes an LED interior light to make loading easier when the light isn't great
• 5 year guarantee
• Also available in gloss white

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.
