Kamei makes the best quality boxes on the market. Don't just take our word for it! They're a specialist box manufacturer, Quality Assured to ISO 9001, represented in over 40 countries, with numerous Best Buy awards over the years, including the Auto Express 2006 "Best Buy" award for the Delphin 375, one of Kamei's mid market boxes which has identical features to this one. With their innovative and intelligent designs, top quality materials and engineering, and outstanding build quality, it's no surprise that they are Original Equipment box suppliers to several major manufacturers, including Audi, Mercedes-Benz and VW. And Kamei boxes have the longest guarantee of any manufacturer in the car rack systems sector - 6 years!
This box, new to us for 2006, is entirely symmetrical so you can fit it to open either on the left or on the right. It also seems bigger than its stated 400 litres of capacity, thanks to its low profile reinforcing ribs and fittings, and a lid that's an optimum shape for load carrying. Certainly it's amazing how much you can stuff into it!
Kamei makes a virtue of the 'Click' and 'Push button' locking system used in this box, enabling you to stuff it fuller than you might think is possible. You close one end and then the other, pulling down at each end until the red "Click" button holds the box shut, then you push the locks in and cover them with a weatherproof flap. Each lock drives a bolt from the lid into the base; this is fundamentally a stronger system than central locking systems can achieve.
- Made from top quality 'DUROKAM', an ABS plastic developed by Kamei to optimise weight, stability and impact resistance.
