Vanimal Reviews 95

Bought via the their eBay store, these made-to-measure shelves are a great addition to my work van. Flatpack kit was securely packaged, no bits missing and was easy to put together. My van is ply lines so I did need to modify the end panel slightly to get 100% flush against the sides and fit the mounting brackets but the unit feels very sturdy now it's installed. Worth the money to have an organised van

The Predator body KIt and roof pod on my 2025 Custom look amazing, exceeding my expectations. Rye the technician is a fitting guru.

We are very impressed with the van racking. Bit of an issue as I ordered SWB instead of LWB but James was great and helpes swap the racks and sort out.

Bought racking for my Mercedes Sprinter van. Biggest/tallest I could find on sale and for the money can't fault them. good quality, easy to fit and looks smart.

Got racking for a full van which suited my need perfectly for toolboxes with adjustable shelves and dividers, really well made.

I ordered my MAN TGE racking and it was delivered the next day. Very easy to assemble and fit into the van. really happy with the finished result.

Excellent racking, the adjustable shelves system is a must and were very helpful.

Transporter towbar I bought is a great piece of kit. Straightforward to fit following the easy to follow instructions.

I had a ply racking system in my old Custom van and ordered the same for my new one but this time in hexaboard which looks even better.

Ordered a bulkhead and double rear. It's a perfect setup for what I need and keeps the van organised and tidy, which makes a change. The bulkhead is usually an area that just gets wasted but this rack is especially useful. Instructional video was clear and didn't take long to build and fit in.

The best racking I've ever had in a van and that's going back 20 plus years. Everything is neatly stowed away and easy to find. Super professional and friendly service so thoroughly recommend.

Good quality racking was easy to put together. Fits well and plenty of space for all my tools.

Vanimal ( owned by parent company of 4x4 Accessories and Tyres ltd) should be avoided at all costs. I was sold a set of wheels that were quote "designed to fit all Transporter and Caravelle models from 2003 – 2022 inclusive".

The wheels supplied are actually designed for a Land Rover Discovery as the centre bore and mounting plate does not align with the hub on a VW T5 (72mm rather 65mm). They could potentially be fitted but spacers or a fitting kit to covert would be required to be purchased in order to fit the wheels safely. Vanimal advised me rather ambiguously to centre the wheels ('standard practice in it'!), which means the van would be supported by 5 bolts with 5mm gap to the hub and a 7mm gap in centre bore! The opinion given to me by my wheel fitter a mechanic, and 2 specialist companies, and a forum was that this is not a safe configuration. No supplementary parts or kits were supplied or even offered to overcome this issue. They simply washed their hands of me once the sale had been made. At the very best these wheels can be bodged to fit, to say they were designed for a T5 is a complete falsehood and demonstrates a mix of arrogance incompetence and dishonesty.

Due to my own misjudgment I told the independent wheel fitters to go ahead prior to learning all this information about wheel fitting, as I assumed spacers would be cheap and could be fitted afterwards. Unfortunately there was no solution to have these wheels fitting flush to the hub without spending £150 on spacers and increasing the track width which I did not want to do.

Having driven home I just bought some more wheels (identical in design from but from another company), and had them fitted a couple of days later. No suprise the wheel bore aligned perfectly this time - no need for vanimal centered bodge job after all.

Vanimal ignored my emails as the manager was on holiday for a few days before finally confirming a refund will not be given due the wheels having been fitted. This would be an acceptable reason had I changed my mind, however this all came about from misinformation at the point of sale.

I can assure you whatever they publish here the wheels were not designed for my van and they did the absolute minimum to help when I contacted them.

Lots of time, tyre fitting and now an eBay listing. About £350 down so far.

Thanks again Vanimal.

Ordered internal racking for my Traffic van. Happy with them super easy to put together, is well made and feels really sturdy thanks.

Great products and easy to put together. The hexaboard racking fits my new Custom like a glove.

Unfortunately one of my racking packages arrived courier damaged but James got it resolved quikcly for me, so thank you.

This is our third hexaboard racking system from Vanimal and all have been great, extremely well made and fit our van fleet perfectly.

Very good quality, relatively easy to put together but a slight issue with the instructions in that I didn't realise that I had to build the shelves first and got the end panels the wrong way around. I am really pleased with the overall results these are very good quality and at a much lower price than metal but look just as strong. Delivery was excellent as came the next day.

Both front and rear racks were excellent quality and very easy to assemble. They arrived quickly and well packaged. The only thing that could make them better would be to include a few extra wood screws in the fitting kits to build them with.

Excellent range of van accessories with professional fitting service that saved me hours of work. The roof rack system I ordered was perfect quality and the installation team knew exactly what they were doing.
