An extra integrated non-permanent adhesive base mat with non-slip surface also gives extra load securing. No need for load strapping. Also, the Thule Box Light automatically turns on/off just by opening/closing the box lid and gives perfect visibility inside the box due to a specially designed LED lamp, a customized reflector and an optimized positioning inside the box. Finally, the patented Power-Click quick-mount system is developed for fast and secure fitting, using one hand only. It is simply extreme.

Thule Testing Facts
Many of Thule’s products are used under extreme conditions. That’s why one of the cornerstones of Thule’s product strategy is safety. That’s also why Thule has three Quality Test Centers in different countries across the globe that put the products through an extensive and rigorous testing process surpassing industry standards. On top of legal requirements, Thule performs a large number of self-imposed tests that provide our customers with even greater assurance.
Before any product goes into production, it is exposed to everything from icy cold to desert heat and long-term UV radiation, tensile tests, shock tests, vibration tests, wind tunnels, endurance tests, aerodynamic tests and crash tests. Thule also take the prototypes and test products into the real world and try the functions that will make the equipment safer and easier to use. When the testing team at Thule is finally happy, they know that the customers will be too. Thule also helps lead the way in setting the safety and quality standards of industry products, sitting on the committee for ISO standards.
