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!

 

The vans are also featured on the organisation's website.

If you've any great shots of vans and racks in action, do send them to us at marketing@rhinoproducts.co.uk

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.

Note: SafeStow, SafeStow3 and SafeClamp are registered Trademarks of Rhino Products Limited.
