A steel-style bracket holster built to hold a Big Wipes CAGE dispenser on a van wall or workshop panel. Keeps wipes at arm’s reach, off the dashboard and out from under the seat. Quick to fit and designed to take the daily knocks of life on the road.
The Big Wipes CAGE Van/Wall Bracket Holster is a simple mounting bracket that lets you fix a CAGE wipes dispenser to a van panel, a workshop wall or the side of a bench. That’s it. No fuss, no gimmicks. But if you have ever spent ten minutes hunting for the wipes tub that slid under the passenger seat on the A14, you will understand why it earns its place.
Wipes are one of those things everyone on site uses and nobody puts a proper home to. They live on the dashboard, in a door pocket, wedged between a tin of screws and a flask. A holster gives the dispenser a fixed position, so you can reach for it with a dirty hand and know exactly where it is. It also stops the tub rolling about and ending up in the footwell, which is where most things in a van eventually go to die.
Where the Big Wipes CAGE Bracket Holster Gets Used
The obvious home is the inside of a van, usually on the bulkhead, the side lining or the back of a racking unit. Plenty of tradespeople also fit them in workshops, garages, site cabins and mobile welfare units, anywhere hands get filthy and a sink is not close. Because it mounts flat to a wall or panel, it works just as well on a plywood lining as it does on a metal van wall.
The bracket is designed to suit the CAGE dispenser format, so check you have the right tub before ordering. If you run a fleet, buying several at once makes sense; fitting them all in the same spot means every driver knows where to look, which saves the usual argument about who moved the wipes.
Mounting and Positioning
Think about where your hands naturally go when you climb out of the cab or step away from a job. Close to the sliding door, within reach of the driver’s seat, or beside the work bench are the usual choices. Keep it clear of the load area where timber, pipe or sheet material could knock it as you slide things in. Fix it to something solid, not a thin liner with nothing behind it, because a full tub has some weight and the van moves around a lot more than you think.
Fixings are not always supplied with brackets of this type, so have a few suitable screws or rivets to hand. Pan head self-tappers into a metal panel or wood screws into a ply lining will do the job. A bit of thread lock or a washer behind the head on thin sheet steel helps stop things working loose over the miles.
Why Use a Dedicated Holster
You could cable tie the tub to a shelf and hope for the best. Plenty of people do. A proper holster is quicker, tidier and holds the dispenser at a sensible angle so the lid opens without a wrestle. It also keeps your hands away from tools and stock while you are mid-clean, which is the whole point of wipes in the first place.
For the price of a couple of coffees, it removes one small daily annoyance. Not glamorous, but then neither is most of what goes in a work van. This is the kind of small purchase that gets noticed only when it is missing.
Pro Tip: Fit the bracket before you fill the van; it is far easier to drill and fix to a clean, empty panel than to work around racking and a pile of stock.
Mainly used inside vans, where it keeps a CAGE wipes dispenser fixed in one place rather than rolling around the cab. It also suits site cabins, garages, workshops and welfare units, anywhere hands get dirty and a sink is not nearby. Fits plywood linings and metal van walls equally well, provided the surface is solid enough to hold a full tub.

Key Features
Designed for Big Wipes CAGE dispensers
Wall or panel mounting
Keeps wipes within easy reach

Simple screw or rivet fixing
Not suitable for: Not suitable for mounting on thin, unsupported panels or plasterboard without a proper fixing behind. Check the dispenser size matches the CAGE format before ordering.
Choose a flat, solid surface within easy reach and hold the bracket in place to mark the fixing positions. Drill pilot holes if needed, then secure with suitable screws or rivets. Slot the CAGE dispenser in, give it a gentle tug to check it is seated, and you are done. Five minutes, most of which is finding the drill.
Pick a flat, solid mounting spot close to where you will be using the wipes.
Hold the bracket against the surface and mark the fixing holes with a pencil or scriber.
Drill pilot holes, using a metal bit for steel panels or a wood bit for ply linings.
Fix the bracket with suitable screws or rivets, tightening firmly without distorting the bracket.
Insert the CAGE dispenser and check it sits securely before driving off.
Does this holster fit any Big Wipes tub?
It is designed for the Big Wipes CAGE dispenser format. If you use a different tub shape or size, check the dimensions first, as other formats may not seat properly.
Can I fit it to a metal van wall?
Yes. Use self-tapping screws or rivets suited to the panel thickness. On thin sheet steel, add a washer behind the fixing to spread the load and reduce the risk of tearing through.
Are fixings included?
Fixings are not always supplied with brackets of this type, so it is worth having suitable screws or rivets ready. Match them to the surface you are mounting onto.
A wall and panel mounting bracket holster designed to hold the Big Wipes CAGE wipes dispenser in a fixed position. Intended for screw or rivet fixing to flat vehicle or workshop surfaces. The bracket holds the dispenser at a usable angle so the lid can be opened one-handed.
