Conquer Every Journey with Confidence: Uebler H Series Van Bike Rack

Vans are brilliant until you try to hang bikes off the back and still open the doors. Enter the Uebler H Series, a clever, tow-ball–mounted rack built specifically for vans with twin rear doors or vertical tailgates. It hauls everything from nimble MTBs to burly e-bikes (up to 30 kg per bike), and then folds down small enough to live in your boot. Translation: fewer parking gymnastics, zero “is my rack safe while I ride?” anxiety, and a cleaner, smarter setup every time.

Why Van Owners Love It (and your back will, too)

• Made for vans: Works beautifully with vehicles like Transporter, Transit, and Sprinter thanks to a true 90° tilt that lets both rear doors swing wide even fully loaded.

• E-bike ready: Each rail is rated to 30 kg, with optional Z-arms + heavy-duty ratchet straps to tame oversized or unconventional frames.

• Compact by design: When the adventure ends, the entire carrier folds to stow in the boot—out of sight, out of worry.

• Security + stability: Rock-solid iQ self-tensioning coupling locks onto your tow ball with a satisfying click.

Spotlight: Uebler H31S — The Three-Bike Workhorse

Need space for the whole crew? The H31S is your go-to three-bike solution.

• Comes standard with “S” arms for frames up to Ø 75 mm.

• Upgrade to Z-arms for chunky e-bike tubes or wild frame shapes—no wobble, no drama.

• The signature 90° tilt maintains full rear-door access on popular vans, so loading gear from the back stays effortless.

The “No Deadlift Required” Install

If you’ve ever had to power-clean a bike rack onto a tow ball, you’ll appreciate this. With Uebler’s patented iQ fitting you simply walk the rack upright into place and lower until it clicks. The system auto-adjusts and self-tensions, giving you a secure connection in seconds, no awkward heave-ho, no sore back. The low-profile coupling also avoids clashing with van doors where bulky heads usually get in the way.

FAQs: Uebler H Series & H31S

Q1: Will the H31S actually let me open both rear doors on my van?
A: Yes. The rack’s 90-degree tilt is designed for vans with twin rear doors, so you can open them fully even when the rack is loaded.

Q2: Can it handle modern e-bikes with big frames and fat downtubes?
A: Absolutely. Each rail supports up to 30 kg. Add the Z-arms with heavy-duty ratchet straps for oversized or irregular frames, and you’ll get a snug, wobble-free hold.

Q3: I hate heavy lifting. How hard is the installation?
A: It’s refreshingly easy. The iQ coupling lets you walk the rack onto the tow ball upright, then it self-tensions for a secure lock—no deadlifts, no guesswork.

Q4: Will the coupling interfere with my tailgate or doors?
A: The Uebler’s low-profile tow-ball head is specifically shaped to avoid door interference on vans where bulkier fittings can be a problem.

Q5: Is the H31S compatible with the Volkswagen Transporter, Ford Transit, or Mercedes Sprinter?
A: Yes. Those models are ideal partners for the H31S thanks to its van-centric geometry and 90° tilt.

Q6: Can I fold and store the rack inside the vehicle when not in use?
A: Yes. The entire unit folds compactly to fit in your boot, keeping it secure and out of the elements between rides.

Q7: Why buy from Roof Box Shop UK instead of a marketplace listing?
A: You get expert fitment advice, carefully vetted products, competitive prices, and real support if you need it—not just a parcel on your doorstep.
