Dutch spotting
We're quite used to seeing our Pipe Tubes, Modular Racks and SafeClamps onboard vehicles across the UK, so it's excellent to see them in Europe.
Versleijen Oirlo B.V. have recently purchased two Aluminium Racks for their brand new VW T5 vans, and very kindly sent us a photograph of then onboard and ready for work!

A Great Article from Germany
We were very pleased this week to receive a copy of TRANSPORTER - Germany's premier commercial van and truck publication - as it featured a six page article about Rhino Products!
The magazine's Editor in Chief - Mr Andreas Aepler - visited our Deeside headquarters in June of this year; discussing our product range, looking ahead to new developments and visiting the factory. Our management team also spent an evening in Chester with Mr Aepler.
Werner Schins - Managing Director for Rhino Products BV commented "The article looks fantastic and is very stylish. It's excellent in providing TRANSPORTER readers with a complete view of our wide range of products."
"The article also outlines the quality of design and build of our products, whilst informing Europeans how Rhino offers commercial vehicle users with a one-stop shop for all they require." Mr Schins concludes.

Rhino responds to S.O.S.
The UK’s leading manufacturer of roof racks, bars and commercial vehicle accessories – Rhino Products – are pleased to have lent a helping hand to the hard-working crew of BBC’s DIY SOS, donating a brand new Aluminium Rack.
Rhino Products’ stockist, VANRAX Salisbury had previously supplied a Rhino Modular Rack to one of the production’s vans, and were recently asked to supply a second rack. Clive Boult, Sales & Marketing Director for Rhino Products couldn’t resist the opportunity to help Nick Knowles and the team, who issue a call to arms and recruit friends, family and local trades to help transform the homes of families across Britain.
Clive outlines “We occasionally catch a glimpse of our Modular Rack on the DIY SOS van, and now we may see our latest innovation on the second van! The Aluminium Rack has a contemporary design which enhances the appearance of any commercial vehicle. Furthermore it’s strong, reliable; designed and built for purpose!”
“It’s heart-warming to see how everyone comes together to help on DIY SOS, giving their time and materials to transform homes of families across Britain, and if another of our racks can bear some more of that load, then we’ll be exceptionally proud.” concludes Clive.
Carefully constructed the Aluminium Rack uses highly robust aluminium material which is lightweight, corrosion resistant and durable. It comes complete with an integrated, full width stainless steel rear roller. The track allows for optimisation of cross-tube positioning to suit the needs of the user, in addition to aerodynamic cross-tubes that reduce wind noise and drag.
Rhino Products’ Aluminium Rack was fitted to DIY SOS’s VW Transporter T5 by VANRAX Salisbury earlier this month, and is already being used in filming for episodes due to air in the early-Summer.

Rhino Enjoys Success Across Europe
The Rhino Team have branded two weeks of exhibition activity at two of
Europe’s premier commercial vehicle shows a huge success.
We've just returned from The CV Show at the NEC in Birmingham, whilst days earlier we had completed six days at the Bedrijfsauto2012 event at the RAI in Amsterdam.
Our Sales & Marketing Director, Cllive Boult says “Exhibiting at both of these events is crucial to our marketing plans. Bedrijfsauto2012 is exceptionally important as Europe and the Far East is an expanding market for us.”
Clive continues “This year, we’ve experienced high footfall at the events, which, combined with the networking opportunities with our valued existing customers and the chance to make new sales leads – which have been fantastic – means this is something we’re pleased to be a part of.”
We took the opportunity to profile two new products at the events – the LadderStow and SafeStow3 – which were both exceptionally well received, alongside well-established products including the Delta Bars and SafeClamp. “We pride ourselves in being at the forefront of our industry; we develop and others tend to follow. These shows have been an excellent opportunity to highlight these new products – and seeing our competitors peeking from around the corner is always quite heart-warming.” contributes Steve Egerton, Rhino Products’ Managing Director.
“It’s been fantastic to be ‘out there’ meeting people, but now the hard work starts; continuing with our innovations, creating new opportunities, and preparing for our next set of exhibitions in late-summer. It’s all very exciting” concludes Steve.

Hello Europe
It's been a very busy week here at Rhino...
Last weekend, a number of us arrived in Amsterdam to put the finishing touches to our presence at the Bedrijfsauto event at the RAI in Amsterdam. Indeed, at the time of writing, Team Rhino remain at the show (and it's open until 10pm today!).
Visit the Bedrijfsauto website by clicking here.
The 'stand' looks excellent, and featured a VW T5, complete with Aluminium Rack and brand new SafeStow3, and a VW Caddy with Delta Bars, Pipe Tube and our new LadderStow.
Werner Schins, our European Managing Director outlines "We've had a fantastic show so far with tremendous response to the Aluminium Rack and the brand new SafeStow, which is very promising."
Meanwhile, over the past number of days, the team at our UK headquarters have been busy preparing for The CV Show, which opens next Tuesday, 24th April.

New Product Launched!!
Here at Rhino Products Ltd, we’re pleased to launch the next generation of our LadderStow product.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the LadderStow continues our ongoing innovation in racks and accessories that boast safety and convenience at their heart.
The latest version of our LadderStow is a quick and easy way of loading and fixing ladders to roof racks and bars, all from the rear of the vehicle – avoiding any need to climb onto the vehicle to clamp the ladder in place.
Carefully planned and constructed, the LadderStow uses robust aluminium material, that’s lightweight, corrosion resistant and durable.
Perfect Loading
The LadderStow's cleverly designed end caps provide an aerodynamic shape at the front of the product, whilst at the rear, acting as a loading surface whilst also protecting the van. The LadderStow boasts ‘ergonomic loading’ which utilises efficient low friction sliders in place of a more traditional roller.
Flexibility
The width of the LadderStow is adjustable for different ladder types and sizes, whilst its height can be adjusted to accommodate single to triple ladders. The LadderStow is also available in 2.2m and 3.0m lengths to accommodate various vehicle lengths.
Safety
The LadderStow secures the ladder in place with a multi-adjustable strap and buckle at the rear – the click-lock buckle being approved BS EN 361. The LadderStow is crash tested to 20g.
LadderStow is a registered Trade Mark of Rhino Products Limited.
For further information contact our sales team on: sales@rhinoproducts.co.uk / 01244 833790 or visit our website on the link below:
