Fabbri magnetic ski and board carrier - Kolumbus Ski & Board

Magnetic ski carriers are often described as being "ideal for short trips", the point being that if you need to carry skis quite frequently (e.g. you go every week to the local dry ski slope, or perhaps you'll be driving to the resort and hiring skis there) they are an ideal solution because

• they are very quick and easy to fit - a minute's work, which is a lot faster than the time taken to fit roof bars
• importantly, they are also very quickly removed. Because roof bar mounted ski carriers are relatively slow to fit we have learned that people tend to leave them in place when they're not needed, causing unnecessary wind noise and fuel consumption
• magnetics are the cheap alternative when compared to the combined cost of roof bars and ski carriers

They are of course also suitable for long distance journeys, with a recommended maximum speed limit of 120kph

Other features of all the Fabbri magnetics we stock:

• the skis are locked to the carrier with a conventional key lock
• the carrier is in effect "locked" to the roof, because when the skis are in place, locked to the carrier, the release mechanism cannot be accessed
• safety cables are supplied just in case you make a fitting mistake, e.g. by placing the carrier so that part of it is in contact with a glass sun roof
• Fabbri magnetics have double high-magnetized plastoferrite base plates, with a protective film to avoid any damage to the paintwork - assuming of course that the roof is clean before the carrier is fitted
• A rubber seal creates a barrier against water infiltrations giving extra protection against damage to the paintwork, ensuring a secure fit and improving aerodynamics
• 5 year warranty
• Weight: 9kg

It will accommodate snowboards up to a maximum width of 260mm.

Unfortunately Fabbri magnetic ski carriers will not work on vehicles with glass roofs/sunroofs.

Fabbri magnetics have a "No fit" list, so please check before moving the ski carrier from car to car. Cars which are a "No fit" usually have either a large glass sunroof, are aluminium, or are very rounded, i.e. the magnetics won't lie sufficiently flush to the roof.

Delivery charges and arrangements:

We charge a contribution towards delivery costs, depending on what you order, where you live, and how quickly you want the goods.

For most UK addresses, the charge for our two to three day service is £5.50 (£9.50 for orders including a roof box) and our charge for Next Working Day deliveries is £8.50 (£12.50 for orders involving a roof box). AutoSock, shoe chains, RUD i-Sock, and small spare parts, are charged £3.95 (Royal Mail Tracked), £4.95 (Royal Mail Express Tracked) or £5.95 (express courier, usually Next Working Day).

There are different charges for any delivery including a sea crossing, and deliveries to Skye - we will contact you with a quote on receipt of order.

Orders for Next Working Day delivery need to be received by 4.00pm.

There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Next Working Day orders placed on a Friday will be delivered on the Monday, Next Working Day orders placed on a Saturday will be delivered on the Tuesday.

We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver on a day and at an address which suits you. 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.

No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. 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.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
