Why it's important to select the correct vehicle and tyre size
Vehicle
There are a surprising number of vehicles that cannot use traditional snowchains, the types that put chain on the inside of the wheel as well as on the tread. This is usually because there is not enough space between the wheels and the shock absorbers; this can be a problem for ordinary SUVs and 4x4s as well as for high performance cars.
You will find this important information in your car handbook - please check this before using your snowchains! Our database is intended to do the basic work for you but, with so many new vehicles and tyre sizes, it should only ever be treated as a guide.
Tyre size
Please also check your tyre size - if you buy incorrectly-sized chains they will be either too tight or too loose.
Ladder track chains
The good news is that car handbooks usually only refer to "traditional snowchains". Ladder track chains such as the Polaire GRIP and Spikes-Spider range only put chain over the tyre tread, so are not subject to these restrictions. They are also ideal for use on rear wheel drives where there is minimal space between the top of the wheel and the wheel arch.
Welcome to our Roof Box Accessories page. Here you will find a variety of items to enhance the purchase of your roof box. Including bags, hoists, straps and more.
The roof box accessories are usually available as optional extras in the tick box section of the roof box order pages. However if you already own a roofbox and just want to see what is available, please continue.
The Boxlift allows for the easy movement and storage of large objects such as roof boxes and surf boards. The two 400cm straps have patented buckles which provide a very firm hold yet allow for an easy, low friction, lifting and lowering process. By using the Boxlift one person can easily move a heavy object, e.g. from the top of the car to the garage ceiling.

Boxes are bulky items and take up a lot of wall storage space. Probably the ideal place to store them is above your car in the garage. This box hoist uses a gear and pulley system which makes light work of the job, with a long handled 'brace'. The pulley wheels need to be screwed into sound timber, i.e. how you fit it is your responsibility and we cannot be responsible for any damage to persons or property.
