Additional information

Weight 4.1 kg







The HandiHoldall is an easy to store, foldable roof box. HandiHoldalls are available in three sizes – 175 litres, 330 litres and 400 litres. The 175 and 400 litre models provide waterproof protection for all kinds of gear against the most severe weather conditions – the 300 litres model is weatherproof. HandiHoldalls are designed to be used with either a HandiRack or standard roof bars.

The quality of materials, production processes and technical features allow the HandiHoldall to resist water ingress during typical and heavy wet weather driving conditions (subject to the manufacturer’s installation guidelines being correctly followed).  Upon reaching the destination the HandiHoldall, once removed from the car, makes a useful and effective outdoor storage solution.

Unlike traditional roof boxes which are difficult to store, bulky and often expensive, HandiHoldalls compact to a size when not in use. This means that they can be easily stored in either the boot of the car or in the garage.

    For further information about the HandiHoldall Roof Bar Fitting Kit (only required for the 400 and 175 litre models), please click here HandiHoldall Roof Bar Fitting Kit.

    The Roof Bar Fitting Kit allows the 400 and 175 litre HandiHoldall models to be securely attached to traditional metal roof bars (please note that roof bars are not included). This makes the fitting process much easier compared with normal roof boxes. A Roof Bar Fitting Kit is not required to attach the 330 litre HandiHoldall to roof bars and is not included when purchased as part of a HandiRack + HandiHoldall bundle.

    The HandiHoldall when used in combination with the Roof Bar Fitting Kit will fit roof bars with a minimum gap 540mm and a maximum gap of 780mm.

    We have adapted the HandiHoldall for metal roof bars by adding some ‘Hi Grip’ loops to the bottom of the bag that allows the HandiHoldall to be securely attached utilising ‘Hi Grip’ rubberised HandiStraps. These straps are very easy to use and very strong.

    The Roof Bar Fitting Kit comprises 4 x 40cm ‘Hi Grip’ HandiStraps and 4 x 150cm normal webbing HandiStraps which are used to secure the HandiHoldall to the outer fixing points of the metal roof bars thus minimizing any lateral movement.

    What’s Included?

  • 4 x 40cm ‘Hi Grip’ HandiStraps
  • 4 x 150cm HandiStraps
  • The total weight of your load should not exceed 50kg. Please ensure that heavy items are secured tightly within the HandiHoldall.

    How much does a HandiHoldall weigh?
    A HandiHoldall weighs 4.75kg.

    Will the handling of my car be altered with the HandiHoldall attached?
    Once the HandiHoldall is attached, the handling may be affected, requiring a reduction in speed and longer distances for braking. The car may also become susceptible to side winds.

    At what speed is it safe to drive at with the HandiHoldall attached to the car?
    Up to 70 miles per hour / 112 kilometres per hour (subject to national speed limit restrictions).

    Is the HandiHoldall lockable?
    It is possible to padlock the two zip ties together to lock the HandiHoldall.

    Will the HandiHoldall fit my roof bars?
    If you are securing a HandiHoldall to roof bars they need to be spaced between 540mm – 780mm apart.

    Will the Roof Bar Fitting Kit fit my bars?
    The Roof Bar Fitting Kit straps are designed to fit around the full range of roof bars.
    The Roof Bar Fitting Kit is only required for the HandiHoldall 400 and 175 litre models. This is not required on the HandiHoldall 330 litres.

    Do I need the Roof Bar Fitting Kit to attach the HandiHoldall to the HandiRack?
    No. The Roof Bar Fitting Kit is only used when attaching the HandiHoldall to cross metal roof bars. The 2 x 3m HandiStraps that come with the HandiRack are used for attaching a HandiHoldall to a HandiRack.

    Does the HandiHoldall have a solid base?
    A solid base is created in the HandiHoldall by inserting four glass fibre poles into the base of the bag.

    Traditional fibre glass roof boxes are often cumbersome and difficult to store. Most stay attached to the roof of the car due to a lack of storage space. This in turn has a detrimental effect on fuel economy.

    For home owners with garages, this may be less of an issue, but for car owners that either live in an apartment or do not have access to garage space this is a real conundrum.

    HandiWorld has addressed this issue with a range of HandiHoldall models which can be attached or detached to and from the roof of a car in just a matter of minutes.

    The benefits of a HandiHoldall

    There are a number of benefits to a HandiHoldall that you don’t get with a traditional roof box. For example, when you’re not using the HandiHoldall, you can pack it away into the smallest of spaces, such as your car boot or a cupboard. Packing the HandiHoldall away takes just minutes, and you’ll always have it to hand if you unexpectedly need to shift something from A to B.

    Setting up your HandiHoldall takes just minutes whether it is being used with a HandiRack or being attached to traditional metal roof bars. The HandiHoldall allows you to transport up to 50kg of weight with effortless ease.

    Just some of the benefits of the HandiHoldall:

  • Provides additional storage space
  • Can be fitted to a HandiRack or to metal roof bars (Roof Bar Fitting Kit required for 400 and 175 litre models)
  • Fully welded seams resist water, harsh weather and provide excellent durability (400 and 175 litre models)
  • Manufactured utilising dry bag technology (400 and 175 litre models)
  • Polyester Tarpaulin material is resistant to cold, heat, tearing and ripping (400 and 175 litre models)
  • Rugged and durable construction
  • Light & totally portable
  • Storm flap provides additional protection against weather
  • Lockable zipper pulls
  • Easy access as three sides of the HandiHoldall can be opened
  • Quickly attached & removed from the car
  • Grab handles make it easy to assemble
  • Glass fibre poles create a solid base
  • No storage issues

  • The beauty of the HandiHoldall is that unlike roof boxes it can be attached to either a HandiRack or to traditional roof bars. This makes it extremely versatile.

    The combination of the HandiHoldall and HandiRack makes a very cost-effective solution when compared with more traditional solutions. The HandiRack takes just minutes to fit to the car and with the added 330, 400 or 175 litre storage capacity of the HandiHoldall added to it, there is plenty of space for luggage, camping gear, kids strollers and just about anything else.

    The HandiHoldall is undoubtedly the most convenient, easy to store, foldable roof box on the market.

    The HandiHoldall is manufactured using very tough material with a USP that it can be easily folded for storage.

    In the 8 years that we have been marketing the HandiHoldall, we have not been made aware of a HandiHoldall being removed from the roof of a car or broken into. We do however sometimes hear stories of even solid roof boxes attracting unwanted attention .

    If you are concerned about security and deterring thieves, our advice is to place bulky items inside the HandiHoldall and ensure that anything of value is transported inside the car. A padlock can be fed through the zipper pulls to serve as a deterrent.

    Just some of the benefits of the HandiHoldall:

  • Provides additional 175, 330 or 400 litres of storage space
  • Can be fitted to a HandiRack or to metal roof bars
  • Fully welded seams resist water, harsh weather and provide excellent durability
  • Manufactured utilising dry bag technology (175 & 400 litres)
  • Polyester Tarpaulin material is resistant to cold, heat, tearing and ripping (175 & 400 litres)
  • Rugged and durable construction
  • Light & totally portable
  • Storm flap provides additional protection against weather
  • Lockable zipper pulls
  • Easy access as three sides of the HandiHoldall can be opened
  • Quickly attached & removed from the car
  • Grab handles make it easy to assemble
  • Glass fibre poles create a solid base
  • No storage issues
  • Both the HandiHoldall 400 and HandiHoldall 175 litre models have been designed to be completely waterproof. The HandiHoldall 330 litre is specified using a different type of fabric which is water resistant and will therefore only provide limited protection against heavy downpours.

    To make the HandiHoldall 330 litre as weather and water resistant as possible, all of the seams are sealed on the inside by the same type of tape that’s used on tents and other outdoor products. However, in very wet conditions there remains a risk of some water ingress and that’s why we advise customers to pack and protect any delicate items in bags before packing them into the HandiHoldall.
