Origins of the idea

Folding chairs, collapsible tables, folding boxes, foldaway beds, pushchairs... Most of the utensils that we use in our everyday life have a folding version that saves storing space and improves portability.

It only seemed natural to think of a folding version of something so bulky that affects so negatively the aerodynamics and the efficiency of a vehicle as a roof-box. It was not only a matter of saving space but also of improving the efficiency of the vehicle when the box is empty and cannot be dismantled, whether due to lack of storing space or to being away from home (for instance, on a holiday trip).

Then, we started to think of a solution that would allow us to adjust the space in a vehicle according to our needs, something that could make the vehicle “grow” or “shrink” as if by magic, adapting itself to our load requirements. A dream for those of us who have to juggle to load that last suitcase onto the boot of the car and who find conventional roof-boxes unsuitable.

The aim was clear. However, it took years to get what we feel is the definite solution. Several options were developed, some of them have been patented but finally discarded because they did not fully meet our demands.

Eventually, we have managed to achieve an optimum folding system that offers extreme resistance, security, ease of use and flexibility to be adapted to the geometry of the different vehicles in the market.
