Yes, all Wheeliams models are specifically designed for off-road or heavy-duty use, they are built to withstand tougher conditions and heavier loads.
They will generally accept all-terrain and mud-terrain tyres too, but if in doubt contact us to check before purchase.
Some carriers come with additional storage options or can be adapted to carry other items like jerry cans, bicycles, or other equipment. Check out some of our additional storage products:
Wheeliams spare wheel carriers can be installed by someone with basic DIY skills and tools, but for more complex installations, or to ensure safety and proper fitting professional help might be recommended.
You can download product installation instructions from our website before you buy to find out what would be the best method for you.
The Wheeliams Wheel Carrier for the Renault Master van can only be fitted to 180 degree hinges. If you have a vehicle with 270 degree hinges you can easily obtain 180 degree hinges on-line and change them over before fitting the wheel carrier.
The spare wheel is bolted on to the wheel carrier and this in turn is bolted on to the vehicle, this provides good deterrence against casual theft.
Our Locking Wheel Bolt Set bolts have a unique pattern and key that makes them harder to remove without the proper tool. This helps deter potential thieves from stealing your wheels, as they are more difficult to remove quickly and discreetly. In addition, our wheel carriers are deliberately designed with an open structure that allows you to thread a lockable security cable through the wheel and the wheel carrier.
For even more security you could fit a security hasp to the vehicle body and thread a security cable through the wheel, the wheel carrier and the hasp to ensure that all parts of the system are secured. (We don't supply cables or hasps but these are easily available on-line.)
Yes, the threads in the wheel mounting plates are have an M14x1.5 thread which is standard for wheel studs or bolts. You can buy a Locking Wheel Bolt Set from our store.
Whether this works will depend very much on your vehicle type, bike size and bike rack type.
One solution that is often used to move the bike rack further away from the wheel carrier is to use a Tow Bar Ball Extension. The extension will move the tow bar ball further back and give more clearance between the bike rack and wheel carrier. These are commonly available on-line.
If you need more advice about this for a specific installation then do get in touch.
Yes we do! Locking Wheel Bolt Set...
Adding a spare wheel carrier, especially if it is heavy, can affect vehicle handling and fuel efficiency slightly. It's important to distribute weight properly and ensure the carrier is designed to minimize aerodynamic drag.
Our wheel carriers are fixed to the door and door hinges.
They move with the door and there is no need for them to move separately, this is a much simpler and more durable arrangement than a separately hinged carrier.
A spare wheel carrier provides a convenient and secure way to store a spare tyre.
Using a wheel carrier means that:

Ensure the carrier fits the size and type of spare tyre you have, in particular that the wheel carrier mounting holes match the number and pitch of those in your spare wheel. Also, consider the ease of access for changing the tyre, especially if you are traveling alone or in remote areas.
Installation difficulty varies by type and model of the vehicle and the carrier. Some can be easily installed with basic tools, while others may require professional installation.
Our products have comprehensive installation instructions that you can download, these include details of the tools that you will need to install the wheel carrier and also information on the skill level that you will need to carry out the work.

Some carriers come with additional storage options or can be adapted to carry other items like jerry cans, bicycles, or other equipment. Check out some of our additional storage products:
Yes, that's easily done by fitting our Dual Cargo Rail Kit. This fits any Wheeliams ladder and allows you to bolt boxes or bike mounts to the ladder.
We also supply a Cargo Rail to fit a Rhino ladder, though this is a single rail.

We don't currently supply storage boxes but there are lots to choose from on-line.
A supplier that we use is www.truckware.co.uk but there are many others. Our Backracks are fitted with adjustable rungs and those rungs have multiple perforations to allow for complete flexibility in box fixing.
You can also fit MOLLE panel rails to your Backrack, they are available on our store HERE.
As with all externally mounted accessories the boat rack will have some impact on fuel consumption and handling.
We can't quantify this as it will vary between individual vehicles. We recommend that you install the rack add the load and then make some test runs to get used to handling before your main journey.
You do also of course need to allow for the increased vehicle width when the rack is loaded and adjust your spatial awareness accordingly.
You may also find that, depending on your individual setup, there is additional wind noise from the rack and load. This is unavoidable as the rack and load disrupt the airflow around the vehicle. To reduce wind noise you may want to experiment with different load positions or adjustments to the rack.

To attach general equipment to our MOLLE panels you can use any generic tactical gear clips, straps and webbing. These are all available on line.
Our own MOLLE pockets hook on to the MOLLE panels and can also be bolted on to the panels if required.
We don't generally manufacture one-off products.
The main reason for this is that unique products have a unique - and high - cost, this is especially so for vehicle related products, and this high cost is not often viable for our customers.
If you are happy with this, and particularly if you are after something fairly simple, then get in touch and we can give you a quote.
However, if you can't see what you are looking for in our standard product range and don't want to pay an unusually high cost then send us a message by email to support@wheeliams.co.uk with "Product Idea" in the title and we can add your requirements to our list of future development projects.
Some of our products are actually supplied painted: check the product description to see whether the product you want is normally painted or unpainted.
We don't offer a painting service for products that are normally supplied unpainted.
We are always mindful that our customers expect a high quality product that matches their vehicle so there a couple of reasons why our larger steel products, such as Wheel Carriers and Ladder aren't supplied painted:
It's also important to note that we don't recommend a hot-dip galvanised finish for our products as the sealed tubes that are used in most of our products cannot be galvanised without modification.
We can however supply pre-finished product if we install it ourselves at our site in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK. The cost of this installation, including product powder coating, is £450+VAT.
Many of our product are manufactured from Mild Steel and all are inspected and shipped in good condition without surface rust. Sometimes, owing to shipping and weather conditions some light surface rust can appear on mild steel products. This isn't a problem as your painting contractor should, as a standard procedure, sand-blast your product before painting. This will remove any surface rust or contamination and allow a your contractor to apply a normal paint or powder-coat finish.
There are a few options:
You can find a local business to powdercoat your product.
You can paint it yourself. For DIY work we recommend using an epoxy primer and a Upol Raptor top coat.
We can get it powder coated for you but you would need to collect from our site in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK as we don't ship coated product owing to the risk of in-transit damage.
The cost would be £75+VAT per product. Contact us if you would like to follow up this option and we can send payment information to you. You can contact us on Chat on our website or by email at support@wheeliams.co.uk
Follow the installation instructions carefully and:
After your first journey with the product fitted, check all fixings to ensure that all are tight to the torque settings originally applied. Check vehicle fittings and panels around mounting points to ensure that there are no signs of stress or deflection on the vehicle or product.
Once every month and before & after long or aggressive journeys check all fixings to ensure that all are tight to the torque settings originally applied. Check vehicle fittings and panels around mounting points to ensure that there are no signs of stress or deflection on the vehicle or product.
All vehicle related products need regular care and maintenance:
All painted products benefit from further surface protection. We recommend applying GYEON Q²M WetCoat to your finished Wheeliams product to maximise the life of your finish.
To further prolong the life of your product, ensure that it regularly cleaned by pressure washing with water and a detergent. Do not apply solvents or corrosive cleaning agents.
Once every month and before & after long or aggressive journeys check all fixings to ensure that all are tight to the torque settings originally applied. Check vehicle fittings and panels around mounting points to ensure that there are no signs of stress or deflection on the vehicle.
We can sometimes repair damaged product but it depends on the product and the extent of the damage. Please send a photograph of the damaged product and we can make an assessment. You can do this on the Chat on our website or by email to: support@wheeliams.co.uk

Shipping options are available at our store checkout, however, as many of our products are made to order, express shipping does not apply. If you have an urgent requirement for a product we will always try to help, so do get in touch directly and we will see what we can do.
Shipping costs are optimised at our store checkout to ensure that if you buy a number of products then shipping costs are combined. We don't otherwise offer free shipping as our normal shipping costs are controlled to ensure that they are fair and reasonable for what are generally quite large product packages.
We do offer local pickup but it must be arranged with Wheeliams. It isn't an option at checkout so please contact us if it is an option that you need.
For access please bear in mind that we are based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK.

Yes, that's easily done by fitting our Dual Cargo Rail Kit. This fits any Wheeliams ladder and allows you to bolt boxes or bike mounts to the ladder.
We also supply a Cargo Rail to fit a Rhino ladder though this is a single rail.
Yes, Wheeliams does supply a Universal Bike Fork Mount. It is made from black anodised Aluminium and includes 4 interchangeable adapters to fit all your mountain bikes and road bikes. You can find it in our on-line store HERE.
We have a couple of options that enable you to carry bikes on your van:
Our main product for this is the BACKRACK range.
You can add fork mounts or bike rails to any BACKRACK with plenty of room and enjoy added versatility for fitting storage boxes or other equipment too.
A good bike rack for this application is the Thule Upride, that model also includes adapters for fat tyre bikes if needed.
For a single bike you could also fit one of our Ladders and add a Cargo Rail Pack and a Bike Mount Accessory Clamp both of which you can find on this page.
There are third-party products that would mount to our Backrack and enable you to do this. One such is the Thule Upride which will allow you mount a complete bike.
Yes we do, but we would need more information on size and quantity before being able to give you a price and lead time. Get in touch to discuss further.
In addition, because these would be special products unique to you, the cost would be higher than our standard product and the lead time would be longer than usual too.
To attach general equipment to our MOLLE panels you can use any generic tactical gear clips, straps and webbing. These are all available on line.
Our own MOLLE pockets hook on to the MOLLE panels and can also be bolted on to the panels if required.
We don't generally manufacture one-off products.
The main reason for this is that unique products have a unique - and high - cost, this is especially so for vehicle related products, and this high cost is not often viable for our customers.
If you are happy with this, and particularly if you are after something fairly simple, then get in touch and we can give you a quote.
However, if you can't see what you are looking for in our standard product range and don't want to pay an unusually high cost then send us a message by email to support@wheeliams.co.uk with "Product Idea" in the title and we can add your requirements to our list of future development projects.
Some of our products are actually supplied painted: check the product description to see whether the product you want is normally painted or unpainted.
We don't offer a painting service for products that are normally supplied unpainted.
We are always mindful that our customers expect a high quality product that matches their vehicle so there a couple of reasons why our larger steel products, such as Wheel Carriers and Ladder aren't supplied painted:
It's also important to note that we don't recommend a hot-dip galvanised finish for our products as the sealed tubes that are used in most of our products cannot be galvanised without modification.
We can however supply pre-finished product if we install it ourselves at our site in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK. The cost of this installation, including product powder coating, is £450+VAT.
Many of our product are manufactured from Mild Steel and all are inspected and shipped in good condition without surface rust. Sometimes, owing to shipping and weather conditions some light surface rust can appear on mild steel products. This isn't a problem as your painting contractor should, as a standard procedure, sand-blast your product before painting. This will remove any surface rust or contamination and allow a your contractor to apply a normal paint or powder-coat finish.
There are a few options:
You can find a local business to powdercoat your product.
You can paint it yourself. For DIY work we recommend using an epoxy primer and a Upol Raptor top coat.
We can get it powder coated for you but you would need to collect from our site in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK as we don't ship coated product owing to the risk of in-transit damage.
The cost would be £75+VAT per product. Contact us if you would like to follow up this option and we can send payment information to you. You can contact us on Chat on our website or by email at support@wheeliams.co.uk
Follow the installation instructions carefully and:
After your first journey with the product fitted, check all fixings to ensure that all are tight to the torque settings originally applied. Check vehicle fittings and panels around mounting points to ensure that there are no signs of stress or deflection on the vehicle or product.
Once every month and before & after long or aggressive journeys check all fixings to ensure that all are tight to the torque settings originally applied. Check vehicle fittings and panels around mounting points to ensure that there are no signs of stress or deflection on the vehicle or product.
All vehicle related products need regular care and maintenance:
All painted products benefit from further surface protection. We recommend applying GYEON Q²M WetCoat to your finished Wheeliams product to maximise the life of your finish.
To further prolong the life of your product, ensure that it regularly cleaned by pressure washing with water and a detergent. Do not apply solvents or corrosive cleaning agents.
Once every month and before & after long or aggressive journeys check all fixings to ensure that all are tight to the torque settings originally applied. Check vehicle fittings and panels around mounting points to ensure that there are no signs of stress or deflection on the vehicle.
