Van Layout! Racking show me yours

[Mark Cranmer]

Hi there I am going from having a Mercedes Sprinter MWB to a new Transit SWB at the company i contract for there is a Polish team have a vivaro racked out... Let me say its mustard they are mustard can't rate them highly enough!

So I ask you guys anyone else just do PV and got an ideas how to make a smaller compact van work? been looking on eBay at the £120 racking over a wheel arch then between the rest of the arches putting some 3by2 up rights with braces to slide the panels in then leaving tool and drill boxes in the side door up front then putting the kit box and inverter on top.. it makes sense for me to do it properly as I'm using all the money I saved up for a mortgage to buy the van out right!

when I changed my van I used a company called truckrax to shelve it out.

What happens if you change panels and they are a different size?

How many panels do you carry? At 20kg each plus inverters and tools etc?
Is it a LWB?
We always get panels delivered pre noon to site saves all that wasted space in the van!

That's OK on retrofit.

New build, no onsite security, no-one there to accept delivery if you aren't, etc etc, new builds we regularly have dellivered to us. long and double high, ducato can get everything in with space to spaer, panels on side / long edge, secured to racking that way we can still access everything without losing tones of floor space.

If the ONLY thing you do is fit panels and work for one company, suppose his will work, seems like he lost 1.2m of racking space done that way (stoll access 400mm of it from the back).

I like it ... I did a similar thing on a temporary basis in a hired van in order to take a chimney pot and some cast iron rainwater goods to a pottery in Hampshire and an Iron Foundry in Yorkshire before picking up a load of cut stone from Darlington ... it worked very well and everything got to its destination in one piece.
