How to fit a storage box?

Fitting your Towbar box is easy and quick. Simply lift the carrier frame onto your car’s towbar and clamp it securely down. Now, you can place the storage box onto the platform, making sure to align it properly and securing it with its robust, elite locking system. Make sure that there aren’t any wobbles when you drive and you’re ready to head out on the open road!

Do you have to declare a tow bar box?

In most cases, no. It’s just an accessory you attach when needed. If you’ve got a towbar fitted permanently, you can let your insurer know to be on the safe side. The box itself usually isn’t a big deal.

What is the difference between a towbar box and a roof box?

It mostly comes down to where it sits. A towbar box goes on the back of the car, attached to the towbar, while a roof box sits on top. Some people prefer the towbar, because it’s easier to load and unload, doesn’t affect the car’s height, and has less impact on fuel economy due to reduced wind drag. However, roof boxes can often offer a slightly larger carrying capacity for bigger items, so it’s really down to your needs and preferences.

What is a towbar carrier system and how does it work?

A towbar carrier system is a rear-mounted storage solution that attaches to your vehicle’s towbar, allowing you to transport items like luggage, boxes, and even bikes. By securing a base to your existing towbar, the Halfords mix & match range means you can switch between a rear box or bike carrier effortlessly.

What is the Halfords mix & match range?

Designed to make transporting a range of accessories easier, the mix & match range consists of one reliable towbar base and multiple carrying options. Choose between a 340L carrying capacity rear box or a 2-bike carrier, depending on where you’re heading – and even add a third bike with the third bike adapter. This modular system is intended to offer flexibility, cost savings, and convenience compared to buying separate towbar-mounted carriers.
