For any professional using a van for work, you must get your vehicle right, so whether that involves installing internal or external racking, adding some well-placed shelving, adding curtain sides or even building a completely new frame onto a trailer base, you don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Our highly experienced in-house vehicle conversions team have been designing and modifying vehicles for years. We perform vehicle conversions specifically to meet the needs of our clients, such as field engineers wanting to have all the tools they need at hand for all types of maintenance situations.
Nothing is too large or too small for us to handle. If you want to add some additional seating, racking and shelving to secure tools and auxiliary equipment, we are the team to trust to handle your conversion.

Bespoke van racking solutions
Depending on what you need to carry, from plate glass to nuts and bolts, we can design the interior or exterior of your vehicle around your individual requirements for the job that your vehicle is intended to carry out.
By working with us, you will get all the required storage and secure fixtures you need to ensure the best use of the space available and also for the safe distribution of weight for vehicle balance and stability.
Osborne Motor Bodies Ltd have fully equipped workshops with the latest design technology and tools to be able to custom-build internal and external racking fit-outs using CAD layouts and our many years of knowledge and experience in the industry.
We can fit out your vehicle with lightweight, ultra-high-strength steel, crash-tested metal racking solutions to meet your needs. We can fit roof racks, roof bars, pipe tubes and ladder loading systems.
The Material choice you use for your racking is important. Using heavy materials can add up to 33% to your fuel consumption, so depending on what tools and equipment you need to carry, we will take this into consideration when planning your racking fit-out.
Seat and window installations
In most cases, businesses will buy a new basic van with no added extras. This can be the most cost-effective way to build a fleet of vehicles and then have them converted to meet the needs of the business.
We can take basic panel vans and add windows, seats and ply linings if you need your vans to carry additional team members. These types of conversions are popular with utility workers such as electricians, plumbers and builders so they can carry their work tools, but also extra hired help as and when they need to for larger jobs.
No matter whether you need a couple of extra seats installed, a couple of windows added, or a complete fit-out, all of our vehicle conversions are completed in full compliance with all passenger safety and vehicle regulations so you know the work will meet all approved standards.
