The bulge that takes every knock
Protecting the wheel arches in your van: your bodywork stays intact
You protect the wheel arches in your van with a closed box around the curve that sticks out into your load space. No more dents in the bodywork, and the top panel gives you a work surface straight away on a spot that is useless today.
Where your load always hits
The box takes the knocks that would otherwise hit your bodywork
The wheel arch sticks out, right in the path of everything you load. Every trolley that slides on and every machine that tips ends up there. You do not notice straight away, because you never look at that corner. The next owner does.
You protect the wheel arches in your van by placing three closed sides in front of them. The knock lands on the box instead of on your bodywork, and that pays off at trade-in.
Did you know the wheel arch is usually skipped during fit-out? Floor and wall panels stop right around it.

Moisture lingers longest here
Rust gets no chance at the lowest point of your load space
Brine and meltwater run down to the lowest point. One scratch down to bare metal and the countdown begins, right on the spot you check least.
The side frames and front panel carry a cataphoresis coating, the treatment the car industry uses against corrosion. If you want to seal off the whole load space, also look at protecting the load space in your van.
Did you know cataphoresis is a coating that reaches into every corner of the sheet metal? Even where a spray can never gets.
Protection also gains you space here
You gain a worktop on the spot you had lost
Around a bare wheel arch you always load around it. No cabinet or drawer fits, so that strip stays empty or something lies loose on it that shifts at every bend.
As soon as the box is in place, that changes. The top panel with anti-slip mat becomes a surface where material stays put, and the space underneath is usable for cases. With a lashing rail you secure a ladder or a sack truck directly to it.
Did you know you can hang holders directly on the perforated side frames? Cup holders and document holders click on, with no drilling.

Surely a plank in front will do?
It is rock solid and comes straight out again when you get your next van
A plank sawn to size looks like the cheap solution. Until it rattles loose and soaks up water. After two winters it turns black. And because it is not properly fixed anywhere, it slides away just when you are counting on it.
Our wheel arch protection clicks into the floor with inserted corner connectors and is fixed out of sight. No visible screws, no extra hole in your vehicle body, and it comes out just as easily when you switch to your next van.
Did you know the fixing is hidden? You see no screws in your lining, and you drill nothing into your bodywork.

Built for your craft
What makes wheel arch protection different
Protecting the wheel arches in your van takes more than a plate in front: the wheel arch takes knocks, moisture and abrasive material every day. Every component is designed for that.
Three closed sides
The knock lands on the box, not on your bodywork. Even the corner you never check stays intact.
Steel or birch plywood
Side frames always in 12/10 automotive steel; for the front panel you choose steel or 9 mm wood with a phenolic coating.
Cataphoresis against rust
A coating that reaches into every corner, on the spot where moisture and brine linger longest.
Top panel with anti-slip mat
A surface where your material stays put, also on the road.
Perforated side frames
Holders click straight onto them. No drilling, no loose brackets.
5-year fit-out warranty
We repair damage, with parts that continue to fit.

All your questions answered
Frequently asked questions about protecting the wheel arches in your van
What does it cost to protect your wheel arches?
That depends on your make and model, on the version you choose (steel or wooden front panel) and on whether the box comes on its own or together with floor and wall lining. Your quote is ready quickly.
Is protecting the wheel arches in your van really necessary?
If you load and unload every day, yes. The wheel arch sticks out into your load space and so takes most of the impact, while it is the only part left uncovered when you only fit floor and walls. Every dent and every rust spot there counts at trade-in.
What is the difference with floor and wall lining?
Floor and wall lining covers the large surfaces. The curve of the wheel arch stays uncovered, and that is exactly the part that sticks out. If you want everything sealed, you combine the two. Read more at protecting the load space in your van.
Do I lose load space?
Hardly. The box follows the shape of the wheel arch that is there anyway. If anything you gain space: the top panel becomes a work surface and the space underneath becomes usable.
Can I secure material on it?
Yes. The top panel gets an anti-slip mat, and with a lashing rail in the side wall you secure ladders, loading ramps or a sack truck with a strap.
Does anything have to be drilled into my bodywork?
No. The box clicks into the floor with inserted corner connectors and is fixed out of sight. Your bodywork stays untouched.
Can this be added if my fit-out is already in?
Yes. That is actually the most common case: the wheel arch was left over when the floor and walls were fitted. The box closes that gap even years later.
Steel or wood: which should I choose?
Steel for those who carry stone, metal and heavy tools. Birch plywood with a phenolic coating for those who carry cleaner materials or want a quieter finish. The side frames are steel in both cases.
How long does fitting take?
Usually within the same working day, especially when the box is fitted together with the rest of your fit-out.
