Planning a holiday run that looks like a game of luggage Tetris? The Hapro Roady 4000 is your sleek, reliable, and wallet-friendly fix. Built with Dutch precision, this compact-but-roomy roof box nails the essentials: durability, easy access from the pavement side, and enough volume for family kit without hogging the entire roof.

Why families love the Roady 4000

FAQs

Will it fit my car?
If your vehicle accepts roof bars within 64–81 cm spacing and bars up to 95 mm wide × 38 mm deep, you’re golden. Just ensure your car’s roof load rating supports the total (box + bars + cargo).

Can I still carry a bike on the roof?
Often, yes. Thanks to its compact footprint (149 × 98 cm), many cars can run the box plus one bike carrier side-by-side. Check your usable bar width first.

Is the box easy to open and close?
Very. The left-side opening is made for the UK, and the spring-assisted lid means smooth, one-hand-friendly access.

How secure is it?
The 2-point central locking keeps things tight, and the key can’t be removed unless the lid’s properly shut—built-in peace of mind.

What about weather protection?
The UV-stable ABS/ASA shell shrugs off sun, showers, and the odd seaside breeze. As with any roof box, pack soft items in dry bags if you’re facing biblical rain.

Will it whistle on the motorway or torch my MPG?
Any roof load adds some noise and drag, but the Roady 4000’s low, rounded profile helps keep both in check. Remove it when not in use for best fuel economy.

How much can I put in it?
Up to 75 kg inside the box—but respect whichever limit is lowest among vehicle roof, bars, and box. Distribute weight evenly and keep heavier items low.

Is it compatible with aero or T-track bars?
Yes—aero bars work, and T-track setups are supported with the right adapters (we can advise).

What’s the warranty?
A solid 3 years from Hapro.

Do you price match?
We continually benchmark EU suppliers to keep prices sharp. Ask our team if you’ve seen a like-for-like offer.

Quick checklist before you buy:

1. Confirm your car’s roof load rating.

2. Measure bar spacing (needs 64–81 cm).

3. Check bar dimensions (≤ 95 mm wide × 38 mm deep).

4. Add adapters if you’re using T-track.
