88 L Hard-Shell Roof Box with Key Lock

Lockable 88-liter roof box: the roof storage you can leave on the car

A rigid roof box is only really useful if you can leave it behind. This one locks: your gear stays inside during lunch breaks, overnight at the hotel, or all season long if you drive a fitted-out 4x4. With its 88 liters and 120 x 50 x 25 cm dimensions, it takes up a reasonable rectangle on the roof and leaves room for a roof rack or bike rack. It's the "work and leisure" size, not the oversized holiday suitcase.

A low box that doesn't make the vehicle look top-heavy

The 25 cm height makes all the difference visually and at toll booths: the roof storage box stays flush with the roof instead of towering above it. On a pickup truck or passenger SUV, the whole setup maintains a low silhouette, and wind resistance remains low compared to large, bulbous 400- or 500-liter boxes.

The uniform, matte black painted finish matches dark bars and roof racks and withstands both track dust and repeated washing.

Water-resistant plastic shell and key lock

The shell is made of molded plastic, advertised as water-resistant by the manufacturer, with a single-side opening and a key lock — this latter point is what sets this model apart from soft roof bags, which at best close with a zipper. The rigidity also protects the contents: a sleeping bag or toolbox is no longer subjected to wind flapping or strap friction. Each unit is advertised as tested before shipping.

• 88-liter roof box — 120 cm long, 50 cm wide, 25 cm high.
• Key lock — the contents stay on board even when the vehicle is left unattended.
• Water-resistant shell — designed for driving with a load in the rain.
• Single side opening — access from the side of the vehicle, without having to climb onto the bumper.
• Universally compatible — attaches to existing rack mounting points, including 4x4 pickup trucks.

Installing this box on a pickup truck or SUV roof rack

The manufacturer specifies mounting through the rack's original holes: the shell sits on the bars, is centered while keeping the tailgate fully open, and is then secured with bolts to the existing mounting points. This operation should be carried out by two people, with the vehicle parked on level ground. Check the tightness before every long trip and keep the spare key somewhere other than in the box itself. Roof bars or rack not included.

Rigid box or soft roof bag: which one to choose?

The soft bag wins for off-season storage, as it folds up and costs less. The lockable rigid roof box wins everywhere else: mechanical protection of the contents, wind resistance, the ability to load objects with sharp edges, and above all, security thanks to the lock. If your vehicle remains fitted out year-round or carries valuable equipment, the rigid box is the obvious choice.

Roof loading, our specialty

We closely monitor the entire roof setup: bars, racks, baskets, soft and rigid boxes, bike racks. This experience prevents us from offering attractive volumes that are impractical to use, and leads us to favor lockable roof boxes when the use requires it. Our French-speaking team will answer you before and after purchase.
