More payload allowance
Lower box weight leaves more allowance for luggage within the permitted roof load.
Application & Value
Composite Roof Box
Additional storage in a lightweight, stable shell.
Challenge
A roof box needs usable storage and a stable shell. Its own weight uses part of the permitted roof load and affects handling.
Solution approach
Fibre-reinforced shells combine a lightweight structure with a shaped exterior. Their construction stabilises large surfaces, while loaded areas accommodate mounts and closures. This allows storage space, handling and exterior design to be considered together.
The benefits
Easier handling
Lower mass makes the box easier to fit, remove and store.
Design freedom
Shape and finish can combine function with product identity.
What could this mean for your product?
In add-on structures, the structure itself uses part of the permitted total load. A lighter shell can therefore allow more usable capacity and easier handling. This relationship also applies to other transport containers, with supports, mounts and operating conditions determining the limits.
