Product Description

Transform Your Van Layout in an Instant

This unique fully bolted bed on rails system unlocks a world of possibilities that a fixed bed cannot offer.

  • Kombi Mode: Slide the seat forward for a passenger-friendly layout. This brings children closer, making journeys more comfortable and sociable.
  • Gear-Hauler Mode: Lock the seat forward to open up a huge boot space, perfect for transporting bikes, paddleboards, or tools without sacrificing passenger seats.
  • Camper Mode: Push the seat all the way back to maximise your internal living area. This creates an open, spacious feel for cooking, relaxing, and socialising.
  • Dining Mode: Position the seat centrally and use swivelling front seats to comfortably seat five people around a single table.

M1-Tested Safety You Can Trust

With great flexibility comes a deep commitment to safety. This bed on rails has official M1 certification. It passed rigorous pull tests when paired with the renowned RIB Altaïr seat, so you know it meets the highest standards. The robust, bonded installation provides incredible strength for every journey.

GlideMotion (Bolted): Key Features

We refined the new EZFit system for an even smoother, more user-friendly experience.

  • Effortless Glide: Our innovative sledge system ensures an incredibly smooth glide along the rails.
  • Flexible Locking Points: Securely lock the seat in one of 6 possible lock-off positions along the rails for complete layout control.
  • Rock-Solid Installation: Bolting the system to the van floor creates immense strength and offers unmatched peace of mind for your installation.
  • Ultra-Slim Profile: The slimline rails have a minimal impact on your final floor height, ensuring a clean, professional finish.
  • Rattle-Free & Removable: The bearing runner design guarantees a silent journey. You can also remove the entire seat when you need the full van space.

  • Vehicle Fitment: Fits VW T4/T5/T6 and Ford Transit Custom MK1. Transit Custom models require fitting 6-8cm off the passenger wall. Please call us to discuss other vehicles.

What is a RIB seat on rails?
A RIB bed on rails is exactly as it sounds, instead of having a fixed bed at the back of the van you can have a versatile seat/bed setup that will allow you to position the seat according to your needs. If you are travelling with passengers its always nice to have them closer to the front when travelling, or, if you want to maximise the living space, push the seat all the way to the back. This can also be great when you want to use the loadspace of the van for something other than camping, just push the seat to the front or remove the seat entirely.
Our current GlideMotion setup is available for both VW Transporter and Transit Custom setups, in either 112cm or 150cm wide options.

Can you put a rock and roll bed on rails?
Yes, head over to our YoYo GlideMotion page for more info. Although a slight difference in the rail design itself the interaction and operation of the system will be identical to our RIB bed on rails, the only change of note being the seat.

Can I fit rails for a RIB seat into my van?
Currently we can guarantee and supply templates for fitting to either the VW Transporter or the Ford Transit Custom. We can also confirm that the system will fit to a T4 with some minor adjustments and also into the front half of the Sprinter / Crafter range. Although we wouldn’t discount any van, we will only supply for vehicles where we can guarantee the safe install and operation of the system. Feel free to get in touch to discuss any other vehicles and we will be happy to see if we can help.

How easy is it to install rails into my van?
Our GlideMotion RIB bed on rails has been designed so that the system can be installed on your driveway. If you are doing it at home you will likely need chocks so that you can easily access the underside. Our recommendation is always to speak with a recommended fitter in your area but we have seen 100’s of at-home installs that look amazing.
Its important to note that you will need to drill holes in your van floor, install a new floor from scratch and be comfortable working underneath the vehicle. For more information have a read of our fitting guide as this will give you great insight into the detail of the fitting, we are always on hand to offer support where needed.

Can I fit my RIB seat to your rails?
Sadly, our RIB bed on rails system is not backward compatible with your already owned RIB bed. We order in bespoke frames from Scopema to suit our sledge and rail design. These frames are then prepped further and manufactured to further suit our rail system. When buying the full kit from us including seat you aren’t just getting the product but our full support and advise when you need it. Because we know that both the seat and the rails have been bought from us we can guarantee that we can resolve any concerns you might have in the future.
