Plumber. How I racked out my van. Cheap shelf from eBay. Work van fitting out. How i racked my plumbing van. Gas engineer tools. Van vault. cheap shelving from ebay.
Nice one Allen , i always buy ex BT vans every 3 years when they upgrade there fleet and they are really well racked out with good quality steel powder coated racking that’s perfect for our trade.....👍
I do like your setup, I've always built my own racking, no way any pre made racking would enable me to get as much kit in. The thing with ply is if you need to fit in extra equipment or something doesn't work you can change it.
It's great to have your ladders under the floor rather than on roof - except when you come back to van and some arse has parked 6 inches from your bumper. No way to get then in or out except having to move van. Thanks for another great vid.
Great video! I total agree when you say its better racking your own van out to meet your own personal needs, did mine recently for about £250, It was a right mess before now its so much better, and I reckon having a tidy van has effect on the way you work too.
Hi Allen. Only just watched this. I share your views on racking for vans! Currently looking to swap my Transit Custom of a larger normal Transit, just wondered what yours was? L2H2? Or maybe bigger. Many thanks for your reply.
Hi Allan , Really good video , I am Gas Safe Engineer as well . It’s looks very practical raking . If you don’t mind please let me know size of van ? I have Vauxhall’s vivaro here . Is it same size of vivaro ? Thanks
Dear sir, I am a gas engineer.. I just bought my new van Vauxhall vivaro L2 but not too height like your it's H1 .. I want to make racking installed.. I don't want to buy ready made.. I want to make the way I want.. could you please reply by a link where to buy metal racking with those plastic boxes.. I am very impressed with your style..
I was planning to do this tomorrow to a Movano. I am a chippy by trade and could make some great racking. but its time and weight that's the problem. using garage racking is cheap, fast and light compared to wood. the problem I am having is I want to fit full sheets of ply or plasterboard under the false floor. but obviously, I don't want the floor to feel like a trampoline.. UPDATE, halfway finished, gave up on the false floor idea. Got two sets of 180x90x45mm shelving units lovely blue colour. shelves on one board rack on the other, small workbench against the bulkhead. I intend on making my first video, I have spent £80 so far lol. added a few nuts and bolts don't trust the clips. so glad I never spent loads on timber now.
Very nice job there Alan...Any reason you don't go for telescopic ladders? I would think they would be much easier to store in a van...Also, any recommendations on van security?
Just watched your video very nice job l have done my oown van but completely different to what you have done but what you say about buying manufactured racking is true, your better to do it yourself and make it to suit your needs, you should put in some led lights, there great on the dark days and evening calls, very impressive job

Hi mate, can’t find this metal framing you cut down to size and used could you point us in the right direction please mate
Hey did it ever bother you having to push water heaters up so high into the van?
It's great to have your ladders under the floor rather than on roof - except when you come back to van and some arse has parked 6 inches from your bumper. No way to get then in or out except having to move van. Thanks for another great vid.
Never had one issue with getting the ladders out, Normally parked on a customer drive. Thanks.

Looks like we acquired some of the same boxes from our British Gas days there, assuming from your post office pick up? 😬👌🏻👌🏻
Everything came from ebay.
I really enjoyed this video ,thank you sir
Never thought of the metal racking. Good idea as will be lighter than making all out of plywood

I cannot remember what that model was now. I have an old BG van now, That's really really good.
I must admit I just chuck everything in the back of my van..all my fittings etc are in fatmax boxes.
Hahahaha same here end of job door open chuck it in worry bout finding it next day
Same
Hi Allan , Really good video , I am Gas Safe Engineer as well . It’s looks very practical raking . If you don’t mind please let me know size of van ? I have Vauxhall’s vivaro here . Is it same size of vivaro ? Thanks

Noticed the intergas, do you not fit them anymore?

Love a van tour! >.
Looks a fantastic Job Allen. I really like your idea of cut down pipe with window cut outs in them.
Can't find that racking anywhere. The stuff you cut up yourself that is.
