Magnetic Towel Hook
A hook strong enough for a soaking wet towel. It grips the steel panel of your van. Hang the towel, walk away, come back. It is still there.
Use it for: Hang a soaking wet towel on the side of the van after an outdoor shower, instead of over the mirror or on the ground.
What it fits: Steel body panels, not aluminium. 56 kg rubber-coated magnet, 17 kg of lateral hold.
Shipping: Ships within 48 working hours. Free shipping from CHF150, £150, €250 or $299.
Showering outside is fine. Nowhere to put the towel is not.
A wet towel is heavy and it pulls straight down. That is lateral load, and it is what makes most stick-on hooks let go. This one carries 17 kg of it.
Drilled bracket
Decades-old generic hardware. Holes in the panel to fit it. Permanent.
Magnetic look-alike
A recent copy of our design, usually made in Asia. Pull force often unspecified.
Nothing at all
The towel goes over the mirror, the door, or the ground. It comes back dirtier than it went out.
Tactic magnet
56 kg magnet, 17 kg lateral. Rubber-coated. On and off with no tools.
Will it hold on your van?
The rule: the magnet needs steel underneath. Most van body panels are steel. Some are not.
Holds
Flat, clean, bare-painted steel
Does not hold
Curved or ribbed areas — any air gap costs hold force
Thick wrap, or dirt between magnet and steel

FAQ

The magnet gives 56 kg of pulling force and 17 kg of lateral pull. A wet towel pulls sideways along the panel, and that is the 17 kg figure.
Will it scratch my paint?
The magnet is rubber-coated, so there is soft rubber between the magnet and your paint. Clean the spot before placing it.
Do I need tools or drilling?
No. Place it on a steel panel and go. It comes off with no tools and leaves no mark.
How big is it?
145 × 84 × 30 mm. Compact enough to leave on the van year-round.
What goes with it?
The Magnetic Shower Mount for the shower head. Both come together in the Shower Bundle.
What about shipping and warranty?
Orders ship within 48 working hours from our Swiss facility. EU VAT and duties are included. The warranty is 2 years worldwide, and every part is replaceable.
