An Economical Blend of Design, Convenience and Style

The Thule Pulse Roof Box product line is designed to provide cost-conscious consumers at all levels with the durable cargo box option that they need, without breaking the bank. The box’s construction features durable and rugged ABS thermoplastic material throughout that is long-lasting and helps protect contents during transit. Its low-profile design is perfect for users who need to fit in a garage/parking structure, or just are less inclined to remove the box. The lid of the Thule Pulse offers standard single-side access, opening up from the passenger side. Internally at the front and back, it features lid lifters that hold the lid open for hands-free access. When you are done with your box, simply pull the lid closed, and built-in Thule SecureLock technology ensures that all edges of the lid are completely closed, and included locking functionality ensures that it stays that way.

Simple Easy-Grip Mounting Hardware and Varied Box Sizes

Thule Pulse cargo boxes attach easily to roof racks via Easy-Grip knob hardware along raised grooves in the floor of the box. The tool-free mounting capability of Easy-Grip hardware, and the length of the box’s floor grooves make installation of the box a snap, literally installing in less than 5 minutes in many applications. The downward/inward clamping mechanism of the Easy-Grip hardware also makes the Thule Pulse compatible with virtually any Thule rack system, and most factory racks. All versions of the box are designed exclusively in a sleek, low-profile matte black finish that complements any vehicle. This X Large (XL) version of the box provides 16 cubic feet of storage space, and the product line is available in three different Thule size categories. These categories can be used help consumers determine which box is right for them: Alpine (11-12 cubic feet), Large – L (13-14 cubic feet), and X-Large – XL (16-17 cubic feet).

About Thule

Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn’t long before he added other practical items to the company’s portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
