Extra seating and tool storage
Standard commercial panel vans are a reliable and economical choice for many small and medium-sized businesses in the UK. However, they lack the flexibility needed for many industrial uses. For example, if you run a domestic construction team, transporting all the essential tools and equipment you need between jobs in the back of a standard panel van would be difficult or even dangerous.
Expensive tools and materials sliding around on the floor of your van can become damaged, and boxes of materials such as nuts, bolts, screws and nails can split or spill over, causing chaos and frustration for your workers.
It will also help to add extra windows and other fixtures and fittings to make your work easier, such as roof racks, pipe racks, ladder storage, internal racking and secure tool storage.
If you have a standard panel van that you want to optimise for your business thoroughly, our team of vehicle conversion specialists are trained to the highest level. They have years of industry experience under our belts.
Commercial van shelving options
There can be nothing worse for your crew than to open the back of your van to find a jumble of tools and equipment to sort through to find the exact things they are looking for.
You can improve your business's efficiency and productivity by keeping a tidy van where all your tools and equipment are sorted into dedicated storage bins, lockers and secure shelving.
Our Osborne Motor Bodies Ltd. team can design and fit out your commercial van with the perfect solution to your storage needs. The floor of your van will be kept clear and free of tripping hazards that can cause accidents and injuries to your workers.
Dedicated racking, shelving and storage options in your van will help your team quickly find the tools and materials needed to get their job done. It will eliminate the risk of lost time trying to find the things they need from a chaotic jumble in the back of your van, and it will make your company look more professional, safe and organised.
Keep your tools and equipment safe and protected
If you run a business where your team needs to work from the back of your van, such as plumbers, carpenters, electricians etc., you can keep all their essential tools safe and protected from the elements.
We can even fit a convenient work counter with electric lighting in your van to save your staff members from working outdoors in the wind, rain, cold or dark. No matter what industry you are in, you will more than likely benefit greatly from our Osborne Motor Bodies Ltd. team fitting shelving and tool storage options in your van interior.
For example, open shelving makes grabbing tools and materials you use regularly easy. For more valuable tools that could be a target for theft, we can fit secure storage that would be difficult for opportunistic thieves to break into.
We can fit units with multiple drawers or compartments to help you sort and separate materials such as screws, nuts, bolts and nails to keep them organised.
Choose the proper shelving for your van
While fitting shelving into your van may seem like a simple solution to help organise the space, it will help to choose the right type of shelving to suit your needs. There are different shelving options available, so it can help to talk to our team first for some advice to find the most practical and versatile option for you.
A well-planned shelving system can improve your business productivity by allowing your team to complete their work more quickly and efficiently. This, in turn, will enhance your profitability.
Depending on the industry you work in and the types of tools and equipment your team uses on a daily basis, our technicians at Osborne Motor Bodies Ltd. can design an internal shelving layout that will make the best use of the available space and be an affordable and practical option for your budget.
With all your essential tools, equipment and materials in their designated places, it will also make it easier for you to stock take at a glance to reorder materials you are running short of.
