Steve adds; "I'm personally extremely excited by entering the towbar market, as my background was in towbar fitting before Rhino Products was set up with Clive Boult, (Sales & Marketing Director)."
Rhino Products ltd has gone from strength to strength over the last few years and the growth has been exponential in both in the UK and Europe.

"We must be doing something right!" Says Steve.

Spring in to SafeStep™

Leading UK manufacturer of roof racks, roof bars and accessories for commercial vehicles - Rhino Products Ltd will be officially launching the SafeStep™ into their product range at this year's CV Show (29th April - 1st May, NEC Birmingham).

"After acquiring the HandiStep™ product from Walker Scott, our team of design engineers have been evaluating the product from the ground up, injecting fresh ideas and ensuring that it fully demonstrates our core values of innovation, strength, excellence" Says Steve Egerton, Managing Director, Rhino Products Ltd.

Steve adds; "Aesthetically, the product won't be changing as such.  Particularly, our team of engineers have looked into ensuring that the step is set to the most optimum height for maximum user safety, and to enable easy access in or out of the rear of the vehicle."

The SafeStep™ will also be available with yellow or black tread plates, and will include two or three step versions (depending on the vehicle) with the added optional extra of reversing sensors.

"With overhauling some of the key features, we felt that with adding a safety step to our product range that already consists of the SafeClamp™ (Our revolutionary one-touch ladder clamps) the SafeStow3™ (Enables the safe loading and unloading of ladders to high roof vehicles all from ground level) it was a natural progression to re-brand the product to SafeStep™

We're really excited to add this product to our core range, as it further enhances our 'one stop shop' offering" continues Steve.

The SafeStep™ range is to be launched at the CV Show 2014 (NEC Birmingham, 29th April - 1st May) Rhino Products will be exhibiting in Hall 5 on stand C28. The SafeStep™  ranges will be officially on sale from May 2014.

Rhino Charges Forward With HandiStep

Leading UK manufacturer of roof racks, roof bars and accessories for commercial vehicles – Rhino Products Ltd – has acquired the HandiStep brand into their product portfolio from Walker Scott Ltd.
“Rhino Products is going from strength to strength and so the HandiStep was a natural addition to the product range to offer a ‘one stop shop’ for Commercial Vehicles.” Says Steve Egerton, Managing Director, Rhino Products Ltd.

Steve adds; “All of our products are made with the operator in mind, and we continually strive for new ways to improve and evaluate our products to minimise risk and maximise safety.

The HandiStep addresses areas that surround Health & Safety, when loading/unloading roof mounted equipment or gaining access in or out of the vehicle.  This provides peace of mind for fleet owners, and owner operators alike.”

The acquisition papers were signed by Steve Egerton MD, Rhino Products and Harry Bradshaw Managing Director Walker Scott, back in December 2013.

“With immediate effect the HandiStep stocks and components at Walker Scott’s manufacturing facilities were shipped up to the Rhino Products head office, based on Deeside Industrial Park, North Wales.
We decided not to announce the acquisition as it happened, as we wanted to simply concentrate on continuing a seamless service that Walker Scott provided to their customers.

It’s also given our engineers the time to really analyse the HandiStep product in detail, and we are really excited about some forthcoming announcements and product launches at the CV Show, at the NEC in Birmingham this year (29th April – 1st May), put it this way the Rhino Products portfolio is growing at some speed” continues Steve.

Harry Bradshaw commented “We are really pleased with how smooth the acquisition of HandiStep went with Rhino Products, we have seen them grow over the years and we’re really excited to see how the HandiStep product will be developed and taken to the next level in Europe and beyond. We wish them every success.”
