Brake is working to stop this unnecessary death, injury, trauma and expense, and create roads which are safe for everybody - motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, truck and bus drivers, motorcyclists and horses
 
Mind your back!
 
Install Bootsafe.

Most accident prevention systems in vehicles cater for hazards either from the front or side. Examples of this are seat belts, air bags and side impact protection systems, all of which are now installed in many, if not all cars. Until this point in time the only protection against impact from behind has been the installation of Head Restraints.

Bootsafe has changed this by addressing the very serious hazard of luggage, tools or equipment crashing through the seats of Hatchback or Estate type vehicles in the event of a collision. Bootsafe is a containment box which is securely fitted to the boot floor. Using a quick release mechanism, Bootsafe can be removed or refitted in seconds and integral carrying handles make these manoeuvres simple. It may contain hazardous luggage, tools or equipment neatly and safely within the luggage storage areas.

Bootsafe is delivered with an easy to follow step-by-step installation guide for fitting at home, work, or at the local garage if you prefer. Installation usually takes about 20 minutes. Many new vehicles already have cargo anchor-points built into the luggage compartment, and Bootsafe can be attached to these, although they are most efficiently attached using their purpose-made connectors¤.

Other advantages include:

  • secure storage of equipment whether seats are upright or folded;
  • adjustable webbing straps provide the flexibility to hold bulkier items;
  • prevents damage to equipment by holding it securely in place, even when driving on rough ground;
  • keeps expensive equipment out of the sight of thieves;
  • keeps the luggage area clean and dry;
  • professional appearance;
  • packs flat in seconds, whilst remaining anchored in the boot;
  • removed without fuss via quick release anchoring clips;
  • Bootsafe can be split into 3 compartments using "Inner Bags" (not included) which lift out and can be carried by hand - ideal for doctors, vets and reps;
  • detachability means it can be transferred to your next car.
Bootsafe is supported by the Government of the United Kingdom through LEDU. Many other organisations such as the Ministry of Defence (see photograph, right), Police Forces, the RNIB, Fleet Users and ordinary motorists have already recognised the benefits of Bootsafe. Why don't you join them?

Bootsafe is available in three sizes and in black and will safely hold 36kg of equipment. Its big brother the Bootroll holds twice the equipment (72kg) and is available in small, medium and large. Both are made to the highest standards of manufacture conforming to all relevant safety standards*.
