FAQ

Everything you need to know.

Is the Boxtainer weatherproof?

Yes — IPX4 splash-proof thanks to a water-repellent natural oil finish. For permanent outdoor use we recommend the optional weather cover (included with Pro & Bundle).

Can I leave it on the trailer?

Yes. The quick-lock system keeps the module secure even while riding. For extended storage we recommend keeping it dry.
