Crafted for adventurers, the Pioneer Platform features lightweight modular design and has been created to withstand the harshest conditions while featuring the rugged-styling unique to the Rhino-Rack DNA.

The use of high strength aluminium together with fibreglass reinforced nylon corners is designed to bring in durability, strength and mass, as well as environmental accountability, while being able to be adjusted and fitted to a multitude of vehicles without compromising appeal or requiring modifications. Not only does this equal a significant reduction in the use of tools and time, but the included wiring and accessory channels allow for a cleaner and safer installation of accessories, such as the Stow It, also from Rhino-Rack.

The Stow It is a utility holder designed to provide the secure load carrying solution for shovels, spades, paddles, axes, fishing rods and more. The Stow It is compatible with Rhino-Rack’s most popular systems — the Pioneer Platforms, Vortex and Heavy Duty Cross Bars.

In developing and innovating the Stow It, Rhino have integrated four products into one. The spring-loaded quick lock and release mechanism makes the Stow It one of the easiest to use lockable storage products on the market.

The innovation of these products has been recognised with the recent awarding of the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021. The Red Dot Award began in 1955 in Essen, Germany, and involves a jury of individual specialists evaluating entries into each category to then award the winners an internationally recognised and sought-after seal.
