We've had an exciting morning here at Rhino Products today, as we've welcomed our new trailer to the factory.

The Rhino trailer undertakes twice-weekly trips to one of our suppliers in Birmingham, so keep an eye out for this impressive vehicle on the M6. First departure was this evening, so we'll be waving it away again later...

The trailer was rebuilt and refurbished to take account of our load requirements, and is the latest in the Rhino Products branded fleet which includes a VW T5 and two Vauxhall Vivaros.

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.

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!).

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.
