Vehicle rifle safes by pangolin

Pangolin vehicle rifle safes allow temporary storage of your hunting rifle, AR or shotgun in your bakkie, SUV, or car. Ideal for recreational hunters and sports shooters as well as professionals in the hunting and security industry, VIP close protection and law enforcement sectors.

Our box type or tubular type safes are available in standard sizes or can be custom-made to suit your requirements and vehicle constraints. The rifle safes for sale online below are for the standard sizes as indicated - use either as a guideline or order as listed if it suits your needs. Suitable for sedans, hatchbacks, bakkies, SUV's, 4×4's, vans and trucks. The removable version of tubular safes are relatively quick and easy to detach, so the need for a dockable option has not arisen.

Choose from our two types of rifle safes:

  • Fixed or Docked Vehicle Box Rifle Safes
  • Fixed or Removable Bakkie Load Bin Tubular Rifle Safes

Position and Dimensions:

Pangolin R (box safe) vehicle safes are dimensioned to suit the vehicle, installation location and weapons. Usually oriented horizontally with weapons laid flat or upright. Customised interior furnishing protects weapons from damage by preventing bumping against one other or the safe.

Opening:

The full access opening can be built to be at the top or front of the safe along a long side. When front opening, the hinge is usually located at the top. The angle at the full open position can be up to 180°, depending on space available in the vehicle.

Mounting

The safe can be mounted flat on the floor of the vehicle or raised on mounting brackets.

Raised mountings are useful for sedans and hatchbacks as this allows stowage space under the safe and access to the boot well for spare wheel and jack, etc.

FAQ's

If you have a question not apparently covered on this page, please also see our Frequently Asked Questions.

Installation

Being larger and heavier than our smaller handgun safes, installation of a rifle safe needs some consideration and care.

It is essential that the Pangolin rifle safe is secured to the steel body or floor of your vehicle as no other option is compliant. Consult with Pangolin to assist in finding a suitable location. If it is difficult to access the underside of the bodywork, Pangolin or your installer can provide a special fastener that can attach securely to the bodywork from one side only (NB: conventional bolts will be too long and Standard Rivnuts® are NOT approved for this purpose). It is also essential that your Pangolin long arm safe is secured with ALL of the high tensile or stainless steel bolts supplied and in the designated positions.
