<h2>Key Features</h2>
<h3>Premium Finish</h3>
<p>The RP31B is available in a durable powder-coated black finish, providing a refined, professional look that pairs cleanly with the black roof bars and racks fitted as standard to most modern commercial vans. A sleek anodised silver version is also available if you prefer a classic finish.</p>
<h3>Huge Carrying Capacity</h3>
<p>As an <a href="/which-pipe-tube-carrier-is-right-for-me-unlined-or-lined/">unlined pipe carrier</a>, the RP31B holds up to 66 × 15mm copper tubes — maximising internal volume without a plastic lining eating into usable space. If you&#8217;re carrying plastic pipes or materials where surface contact marks would be an issue, the PVC-lined variant holds 59 × 15mm tubes and provides a protective barrier throughout transit. Both variants support a maximum load of 50kg.</p>
<h3>Dual Access</h3>
<p>Twin openings at both ends allow quick, convenient loading and unloading from either side of the vehicle. No slow threading of pipes from a single point — a practical time-saver when you&#8217;re on site and working to a schedule.</p>
<h3>Integral Locking System</h3>
<p>Both nose cones are equipped with a locking system to secure and protect your materials. Built into the carrier itself rather than relying on an aftermarket padlock, the lock point is more tamper-resistant than an exposed shackle — and there&#8217;s nothing separate to lose.</p>
<h3>Weather Protection</h3>
<p>A hidden rubber O-ring seal inside each bulkhead creates a watertight seal when the nose cone is closed, preventing water ingress during transit. Whether the van is parked overnight or covering motorway miles in heavy rain, pipe contents stay dry and protected.</p>
<h3>Certified Safety</h3>
<p>The RP31B features crash-tested bulkheads and has received full professional safety accreditation — an important consideration for tradespeople working under health and safety obligations.</p>
<h3>Fast, One-Person Installation</h3>
<p>Designed for a quick one-person installation completable in approximately 15 minutes. Supplied with a standard fitting bracket and spacers to ensure compatibility with Rhino roof racks, roof bars, and other systems — no specialist tools or vehicle-specific brackets required in most cases.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Unlined or Lined?</h2>
<p>The RP31B unlined is the right choice if you primarily carry copper tube — the larger internal capacity (66 vs 59 × 15mm tubes) means you can fit more per run, and copper is robust enough not to be marked by contact with the aluminium interior. For plastic pipes, push-fit fittings, or any material where surface appearance matters, the lined variant is worth the modest reduction in capacity.

<p><strong><br>Stage 2: Unboxing Your Rhino Modular Roof Rack</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Before you dive into the fitting process, it&#8217;s essential to familiarize yourself with the components of the Rhino Modular Roof Rack.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Carefully unpack the box to reveal the precision-engineered parts that will soon enhance your Vauxhall Movano&#8217;s carrying capacity.</p>

<div>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Thorough Parts Inspection:</strong> Lay out all the parts in a well-lit and spacious area. Refer to the itemized sheet included in the packaging to verify quantities and confirm that each part is in pristine condition. Check for any signs of damage, scratches, or dents that may have occurred during shipping.</p>
<p></p>
</div>
</div>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Photographic Documentation:</strong> Take a proactive approach to potential issues by capturing detailed photographs of each part before the fitting process begins. Pay close attention to any areas that show signs of damage, and keep these images for reference. This step serves as a visual record, helping in case you need to contact us to resolve issues.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Stage 2: Attaching the Brackets to Your Vauxhall Movano&#8217;s Roof</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>The foundation of a secure roof rack installation lies in the attachment of brackets to your vehicle&#8217;s roof. Ensure a clean and stable surface by thoroughly cleaning the roof area where the brackets will be placed. Then, follow the Rhino Modular Roof Rack&#8217;s instruction manual to affix the brackets securely. These brackets serve as the anchor points for the entire system, guaranteeing stability and safety during your travels.</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p><strong>Stage 3: Installing the Rhino Modular Roof Rack</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>With the brackets securely in place, it&#8217;s time to assemble the Rhino Modular Roof Rack and attach it to the brackets. Carefully position the assembled roof rack onto the installed brackets, making sure all components align correctly. Tighten the provided bolts securely, double-checking to confirm that every element is fastened according to the Rhino&#8217;s specifications.</p>
