Over twelve months on since the introduction of the Kamm Generation of van accessories from Rhino Products, PHPI caught up with the company’s CEO, Steve Egerton, to find out more about the way installers can benefit from this increasingly well-known range.
A leading manufacturer of commercial vehicle accessories, Rhino Products are already well known to tradespeople up and down the country. The company has been helping tradespeople maximise their vans’ storage capabilities for two decades, having celebrated their 20th anniversary in September this year.
Rhino has recently overhauled its entire roof rack and bar range, built upon the successful KammBar. This latest family of products has been launched as the Kamm Generation.
Each of these new products use the same ultra-aerodynamic teardrop shaped bar profile used on the original KammBar. The company says that this means that the entire range also benefits from the fast fitting, pre-assembled leg design that allows users to fit the products in record time.
Q. How does the new Kamm Generation steel bar deliver even more for tradespeople?
One of the strongest roof bar systems on the market, Rhino’s KammBar Fleet has a stylish and practical design that enhances both the appearance and storage capabilities of any van. The high-tensile alloyed steel bar has the unique teardrop shape that reduces drag and fuel consumption, along with an inorganic zinc topcoat seal, which protects against even the harshest of weather.
Q. What other options are available when it comes to roof bars and racks?
Ultra-aerodynamic, stylish, and corrosion resistant, the KammBar Pro is the market leading, premium roof bar of choice for van users. The anodised aluminium finish delivers the highest possible protection against rust and corrosion, whilst also giving the bar a sleek, modern look to complement your van.
The next product to join the Kamm range was the KammRack, benefitting from the ultra-aerodynamic ‘Kamm’ bar profile, making it Rhino’s quietest rack ever. The KammRack also shares the fast-fitting, pre-assembled feet. This, coupled with the ‘click together’ side frames and crosstubes, means it is easy for one person to fit.
The start of 2024 will see the launch of the KammRack Black, which will be the same stylish roof rack in powder coated black with an aluminium roller, further complementing today’s modern commercial vehicles.
All of the Kamm Generation products are compatible with Rhino’s full range of accessories, including our iconic PipeTube Pro.
Q. Is there a roller system available for the Kamm Generation?
Both the KammRack and KammRack Black are supplied with a strong anodised aluminium rear roller. Complementing the KammBar Fleet and the KammBar Pro, is the upgraded, lightweight yet durable aluminium roller.
Lighter than Rhino’s previous rear rollers, the company has managed to substantially reduce the weight of the product without compromising on its strength. Every member of the Kamm family has been refined – even Rhino’s Kamm load stops have had a complete redesign, decreasing wind noise and drag.
Q. With a successful launch of the Kamm Generation under way, what else can we look forward to from Rhino Products?
The company’s most recent release, the MR4 Modular Racking range, is its first internal product to date. With a whole host of accessories and configurations available, MR4 internal racking systems allow the user to customise their van to their specific needs. The strong, yet lightweight high tensile steel systems come with bespoke fitting kits for every vehicle, providing the quickest and easiest fitting process possible.
