What began with an unusual idea for a VW bus developed into a versatile, custom-fit carrier system for numerous vehicle models.
The history of Paulchen dates back to the late 1970s. For his own needs, Volkmar Kerkow developed an initial rear carrier prototype for his VW bus.
The idea was as simple as it was convincing: bicycles and other loads should be transported conveniently at the rear of the vehicle as a practical alternative to the traditional roof rack.
There was great interest among friends and acquaintances. The positive response ultimately encouraged the then 30-year-old founder to become self-employed.
This is how the name Paulchen came about.
A custom-built carrier for a VW bus laid the foundation for the later Paulchen system.
Requests from the founder’s personal circle developed into growing interest in custom-fit rear carrier systems.
The small craft business developed into a modern development and production facility.
A Paulchen rear carrier should integrate harmoniously into the vehicle and should not look like an add-on fitted afterwards.
That is why we rely on vehicle-specific mounting solutions, high-quality materials and a design that is tailored down to the smallest detail to the respective vehicle.
Suitable mounting components are available for every supported vehicle model.
When changing vehicles, often only the vehicle-specific mounting kit needs to be replaced.
The system lässt sich je nach Ausführung um Komponenten für Fahrräder, Gepäck, Ski oder Wassersport erweitern.
The design is intended for straightforward installation as well as quick attachment and removal.
Different Paulchen versions are available depending on the vehicle, intended use and desired level of comfort.
The functional solution for reliable bicycle transport.
Greater ease of use and additional options for regular use.
The comprehensive equipment version for especially high demands.
Much has changed since the first prototype. What remains is our commitment to developing durable, custom-fitrear carrier systems made from high-quality materials.
