TowCar Aneto Orange towbar ski and board carrier, no. AEPK025

If you have a tow bar this is an excellent way to carry everyone's skis and boards, taking a maximum of 6 pairs of skis or 6 boards (with the extra extension). It folds flat on the back of the vehicle when not in use, or it's small enough to fit in your boot if you need to transport it.

Carrying skis on the tow ball makes for very easy loading, compared to reaching onto the roof. It's also a great option for longer journeys, especially if your roof is already taken up with a roof box.

The Aneto tow bar ski and board carrier tilts to allow access to the tailgate, so you can still open the boot. It will tilt far enough to allow the tailgate on most cars to open (e.g. hatchbacks, estates, SUVs). It won't tilt far enough to open a vertical tailgate (e.g. vans and some MPVs).

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
We have offered a reliable Next Working Day service for well over 20 years but, due to the pressure on the couriers caused by the coronavirus crisis and the huge increase in online shopping, we can no longer be confident about the delivery date, which is why we now call the service ‘Express delivery’. Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next or second working day, but some will arrive on the second or third working day, or be split between these days. So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".
