Are you struggling with payload, damaged and lost tools, or space in your van?
Read on for five work van storage ideas ideas and tips for racking out your van efficiently and to your best advantage.
1. False Floor Van Storage – Create a false floor accessed by the side and back doors
This is a no-brainer if you are a joiner or plasterer and need to carry large sheets of plywood and plasterboard for instance. You can slide 8×4 sheets in and still store tools and materials in drawers underneath the floor. Bear in mind there can be height restrictions if you don’t have a high roof van. Our Trekdor option is great if you’re looking for a simple and easy way to create your false floor.
2. Van Racking – Customise your shelving to suit your needs
Creating a pigeonhole shelf unit on the side door for crates and toolboxes is easily achievable with our range of highly customisable products.
Building a roof high cabinet for easy access on the side door is an excellent way to store your more often used tools. Power tools, extension leads, power boxes and toolboxes that are needed day in and day out can be slid into place quickly and easily. Storage holes for bolts, screws and small fixings can also be incorporated. In addition, a swivel foot can be fixed so the whole unit can be accessed from the inside. The use for this particular storage idea is many and varied and can be customised in innumerable ways to exactly suit your needs.
3. Van Cabinets – Have a locked compartment for high-value tools
Having peace of mind that your equipment and livelihood is safe and secure can be a high priority for most tradesmen. Include a strongbox with a chunky lock making sure it is accessible to minimise downtime, or view our other types of van vaults.
4. Van Organiser – Keep heavy items near the doors
Put anything that is able to be wheeled or easily maneuverable near the bulkhead so heavy, cumbersome items are immediately accessible without having to potentially damage your back lifting and jumping out of the van with them. It’s amazing how this can brighten and lighten your workday!
We also recommend that you check out our steel van racking range, which is highly customisable, strong and can withstand heavy usage from heavy items.
