Providing storage capacity of 18 cubic feet, the Atlantis offers convenient features to securely stow your cargo while on the road. The cargo box comes pre-installed with a QuickGrip mounting system so you'll be on the road in seconds, and mounts directly to most after-market and factory-installed roof racks. It not only lets you access your gear from either side of the car using Thule's patented Dual-Side opening feature, but is easy to open and close with an improved locking system that features a user-friendly padded key and readable decal. Thule's built-in safety feature means that the key can only be removed when the box is fully closed, so you don't accidentally lock yourself out. The Atlantis has an eye-catching design, sleek black finish that complements the aerodynamic lines of today's new car designs. It measures 34.4 x 84 x 16.9 inches (W x D x H) and weighs 44 pounds.<p> <table align=right width=500 cellpadding=10> <tr><td><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/stores/sport-goods/thule-atlantis.jpg" border=0 align=top> <small><i><b>The Atlantis 1800 comes pre-installed with a QuickGrip mounting system.</b></i></small></td></tr></table><p> <strong>Key Features:</strong><ul> <li>Dimensions: 34.4 x 84 x 16.9 inches (W x D x H) <li>Capacity: 18 cubic feet <li>Total Weight: 44 pounds <li>QuickGrip mounting system <li>Oversized, padded keys <li>Dual-side opening feature <li>Mounts to most factory-installed and after market roof racks </ul><p> <strong>What's in the Box?</strong> 687B rooftop cargo box, 2 x straps, 4 x slide strips (pre-installed), 2 x keys, and instruction guide<p> <strong>Manufacturer's Warranty</strong> Limited lifetime warranty<p> <strong>About Thule</strong> To say that Thule’s beginnings in the U.S. were humble would be an understatement. Founding member Ake Skeppner sold products at windsurf competitions on the New England shoreline, exhibited the product line at a number of different trade shows, and even canvassed local retailers in the greater New York area, all from his "office"--a now-famous station wagon. Initial success was found in the small but growing sport of windsurfing where a strong, reliable roof rack was an indispensable piece of equipment. This was quickly followed by success in the ski business where Thule's Swedish heritage certainly helped the product gain rapid acceptance.<p> By the mid-1980s, the company sold products directly to ski and windsurfing shops but sold through distributors to address the large and growing bike business. A risky decision was made to terminate these distributor relationships and sell direct to retailers through a network of independent sales representatives. Much of the company's market success today can be traced to that decision. Shortly after, Ake hired an engineer and set up a small assembly plant in Elmsford, New York in order to design and manufacture bike carriers that would offer the features demanded by the U.S. consumer and compete effectively with other racks on the market.<p> The company has since grown rapidly through product innovation, a commitment to quality, and the continuance of a strong entrepreneurial spirit as well as continuing to evolve their products to meet the needs of users.<p> *Reader Reviews* I am very happy with the cargo box. Very easy to attach to your rack. Locking mechanism is well put together. No complaints. If I could change one thing, I would have gotten the next larger size.
