Offside or nearside?
Bird's-eye view of a typical UK right-hand-drive van, with the standard single nearside sliding door.
The longer run
The offside normally has no door breaking it up, so it takes the longest continuous racking run — the best wall for long items and full-height units.
Choose: Offside Only
Around the side door
The sliding load door splits this wall, so the nearside kit is modular fore and aft of the aperture, keeping loading access clear.
Choose: Nearside Only
Racking both walls? The Full Kit covers offside and nearside together.
Renault Kangoo floor dimensions from manufacturer/reference data; offside and nearside run widths from StowPro kit specifications. These rows are the 2008-2021 Kangoo (the same van as the 2013-2021 Mercedes-Benz Citan). The 2021-on Kangoo is a different van, sharing its body with the current Citan, and kits for it are not listed here yet: ask us.
Renault Kangoo racking - common questions
What length racking fits in a Renault Kangoo L1 on the offside?
On a 2008-2021 Renault Kangoo L1 the offside gives the longest single racking run, along a load length of 1,731 mm.
The StowPro Offside kit runs 1,250 mm of shelving before the rear doors; the driver's-side wall is the best place for your longest run. For this side only choose the Offside Only kit; for both walls choose the Full Kit.
How long is the load area in a Renault Kangoo?
The 2008-2021 Renault Kangoo load length is 1,731 mm on the L1 and 2,115 mm on the L2 (Kangoo Maxi), measured along the floor.
There is 1,218 mm between the wheel arches and 1,251 mm of headroom. StowPro build a kit for each of these bodies, so you match the rack to your exact van.
Do you do racking for the 2021-on Renault Kangoo?
Not listed yet. The kits on this page are for the 2008-2021 Kangoo and Kangoo Maxi; the 2021-on Kangoo is a different van, sharing its body with the current Mercedes-Benz Citan.
If you have the newer van, ask us: give us the body length and we will tell you what fits. If you are buying for a van from around 2021, check the shape rather than the year.
Do I need the nearside or offside racking kit for my Renault Kangoo?
Choose the Offside (driver's side) kit for the longest uninterrupted run, the Nearside (passenger side) kit to rack around the sliding door, or the Full Kit to fit out both walls.
On the Renault Kangoo the standard sliding load door is on the nearside, so that side is split into shorter modules while the offside takes the longer run. Most trades kitting out a whole van take the Full Kit.
Is Renault Kangoo racking the same as Mercedes-Benz Citan racking?
Yes. The 2008-2021 Renault Kangoo and the 2013-2021 Mercedes-Benz Citan are the same van with different badges and identical load dimensions, so StowPro racking built for one fits the other.
Match the body length (L1 or Maxi) and the kit is interchangeable across the badge-engineered twins.
Can I still carry long items past the racking in a Renault Kangoo?
Yes, at floor level. StowPro racking sits against the wall and leaves the load floor clear, and if your Renault Kangoo has a load-through hatch, long items can pass through the bulkhead at floor level.
The load-through length quoted by the manufacturer only applies at the floor with the hatch open; higher up the bulkhead intrudes, so plan around the floor length and don't count on resting long items on top of the racking.
Will fitting racking reduce my Renault Kangoo payload?
Racking uses some of the Renault Kangoo's payload, but StowPro units are built from lightweight load-rated steel to keep that to a minimum.
Fit only the side or sides you need (Offside, Nearside or Full Kit) and keep heavy stock low and central to protect your remaining payload and handling.
What's the longest item I can carry down the side of a Renault Kangoo?
Long items travel at floor level in a Renault Kangoo: the 2,115 mm load length on the Kangoo Maxi is measured along the floor, and StowPro racking sits against the wall so the load floor in front of it stays clear.
Don't plan on carrying a full-length item on top of the racking. Higher up, the bulkhead and cab seats intrude, so the usable length above the floor is shorter than the floor figure. The offside kit itself runs 1,650 mm along the wall on the Maxi; tell us your body and we'll confirm what fits.
