KAMEI Husky 510 matt black DuoLift roof box no. KM448 - return no. 336

£409.95
RRP:
Code: REKM448-336

This is a brand new box, replacing the very popular Husky XXL

The Husky 510 includes all the essential attributes of any KAMEI box - good looks, ease of use, top quality mouldings, excellent security, wide opening, safety tests that are up with the best. The 510 also has a "pull to shut" central locking system, and a 75kg load limit, so it's got everything going for it.


Condition report: Returned unused - in excellent condition with some damage to the carton.

A new box from KAMEI - a great size and full of useful features, including 'DuoLift' dual side opening!

This replaces the Husky XXL, one of our best-selling boxes over a number of years. KAMEI have improved the Husky 510 by adding 'DuoLift', allowing the box to open from both sides. This makes this wide box much easier to fit and load, especially on taller vehicles.The Husky XXL box this version replaced was a previous Auto Express Best Buy Award Winner.

The Husky 510 has a rated capacity of 510 litres but thanks to its low profile reinforcing ribs and fittings, and a lid that's an optimum shape for load carrying, we reckon it loads like a 600 litre box.

It includes KAMEI's ingenious central locking system - all the benefits of central locking without the potential drawbacks:

The box is unlocked with a quarter key turn, but locked again just by pulling the box shut. Big deal? Actually, yes. All other central locking systems have a big drawback when it comes to closing the box, because you need to turn the key in the lock at the same time as holding down both the front and the rear of the box – which is a three handed operation if the lid is being held up by bulky gear, or if the base is sagging due to incorrect loading or weakness.

The KAMEI system has three catches and three hinges, for extra security. And you can’t take the key out of the lock until the box is properly shut. It's a really neat system.

Other specifications:

  • The plastic is 'DUROKAM', a top quality ABS plastic developed by KAMEI to optimise weight, stability and impact resistance.
  • The box meets the strict requirements of the DIN 75302 / ISO 11154 programmes, with crash and vibration testing carried out at the TÜV as well as the German Centre for Aerospace.
  • All KAMEI boxes are refined after wind tunnel testing.
  • This Duolift box opens from either the left or the right hand side, making it very easy to fix to roof bars (no stretching into the box is needed), as well as providing full choice about where you position it, depending e.g. on what else you are carrying on the roof.
  • The DuoLift system includes patented gas struts for wide and easy opening and closing.
  • The special spring struts provide wide and easy opening and closing.
  • There are sliding low profile box to bar fittings at all four fixing points, so there’s never a need to drill new holes if the distance between your roof bars is non standard.
  • This box comes with T-track adapters which slide into the slots in the top of aluminium roof bars (including all the aluminium bars we sell), and also with U-bolts (M8 thread) which fit around bars up to 83mm wide x 32mm deep. It always makes sense to use T-track adapters with aluminium roof bars, because these allow you to position the box anywhere on the full length of the bars, they produce a much smarter look (no bits of metal visible below the roof bar) and it's a more aerodynamic fitting system. T-track adapters also allow you to push the box further back or forward than is possible with U-bolts - which can be important if there's a potential clash with a fully opened tailgate. And T-track adapters also provide more flexibility in roof box positioning than claw style fittings (this is the type which grabs around the roof bars and is tightened with a turning wheel inside the box) - this is because claw fittings should not be used in the area of the roof bar feet (these fittings will touch the feet before they are tight enough on the bars) so you may not be able to position the box just where you want it. Claw fittings also limit front to back positioning. So now you know why KAMEI includes standard T-track adapters (which are an extra cost for all other brands of roof box) and does not use claw style fittings.
  • If you have BMW roof bars, note that these have unusually wide T-track slots, and will require additional adapters - see part KM52004 in the list below.
  • 6 year guarantee!
  • Weight 18kg empty, maximum load 75kg, gross loading limit 93kg.

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?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. 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.
