The Roof Box Company

The Roof Box Company has spent nearly three decades focused on a specific task: helping people choose how to carry luggage, bikes, and sports equipment on a vehicle. Founded in 1997, the UK retailer distributes specialist brands and brings together roof bars, roof boxes, bike carriers, towbar carriers, and load systems for vans. Its website lets shoppers search by vehicle, consult guides, and compare packages for different needs.

The catalog goes beyond family travel. It includes bike carriers for roof, rear, and towbar mounting; carriers for skis, boards, kayaks, and other water sports; cargo baskets, rooftop tents and awnings, and heavy-duty systems for commercial vehicles. The company also sells snow chains and socks, seat covers, trunk liners, interior protection, and tie-down accessories. That range lets shoppers address transport and vehicle-protection needs through one specialist retailer.

Choosing bars and carriers depends on a vehicle’s body style, model year, and mounting points. The company therefore maintains compatibility finders and guides explaining the differences between systems. In-person advice and fitting are available at Manchester North; the company also offers order collection and fitting at Sedbergh. For this kind of purchase, checking compatibility before choosing is central to the service.

Manchester North operates as a store and showroom, where customers can see products, get advice, request fitting, and collect orders. It is at Unit B9, Edge Fold Industrial Estate, Plodder Lane, Farnworth, Bolton. The other location, Unit 4 Station Yard, Station Road, Sedbergh, Cumbria, combines an office and warehouse with fitting and collection. The company distinguishes an in-person shopping visit in the Bolton area from an operating location in Cumbria.

The Roof Box Company works with brands including Thule, Yakima, Atera, CRUZ, and Rhino Products, and carries specialist lines such as Fasty. The range includes narrow boxes for vehicles with limited roof space and longer models for luggage, along with bike carriers for different mounting styles. Its Outlet section separately identifies end-of-line stock, overstocks, and returned or damaged items.

Customers can order online and arrange delivery or collection; phone support handles questions about products, orders, and compatibility. Those who want to compare dimensions and mounting options can visit the Manchester North showroom. Sedbergh remains an option for collections and certain fitting work: the two addresses serve different purposes.

With a range centered on vehicle-mounted transport, The Roof Box Company is useful for people planning vacations, cycling or ski trips, water sports, and commercial load-carrying needs. Its vehicle finders, buying guides, advice, fitting, and collection set it apart from a general auto-accessory store: the central question is which system fits both the vehicle and the intended use.
