Van Accessories for the Van Converter

It's true to say that most light commercials will become working vans. Some as part of a fleet for large blue chip companies and other's for the humble tradesman. One thing unites both van operators. The need for efficiency. By maximising the carrying capacity and the order in which components are stored increase's efficiency and by increasing vehicle efficiency will increase productivity. How many times do you see the inside of a workmans van, to see a huge pile on the floor. For the sake of a few cheap van shelves would solve the problem. Shelving the inside of a van should be one of the first things done to a working van. Once it hits the road and it's out there working, the chance of it ever getting done would be nil.

The ability to carry more will increase vehicle efficiency and productivity. Van roof bars are relatively inexpensive and will allow long lengths such as ladders to be carried quite easily on the vans roof. If you need to carry large awkward loads the a heavy duty van roof rack is more suitable. A van roof rack is a framework style roof rack generally the length and width of the vans roof. Being all in one piece helps disperse heavy loads correctly through the vehicle to the ground. There are two main types of van roof racks, a Contractors style roof rack and a Luggage or basket type roof rack. The contractors rack will be open ended allowing long lengths to be carried, with up-stands down the side helps secure loads and a roller at the back will help loading. The luggage type van rack is generally used by minibus operators and taxi operators. This too will generally be the length and width of the vans roof but now the rack has sides all the around it. Ideal for luggage and even camping equipment for school buses.

We are probably best known for our range of van side racks. Some refer to these as a glazier rack or glass rack. Ultimately they are all the same. Our van side racks are universal which makes us the cheapest manufacturer of this type of van racking. All our external van racking is produced from aluminium which as you probably know is very strong while remaining very light. I can never understand people who buy heavy van racking and then run round with it empty. All vans have a carrying capacity. So what's the point decreasing the vans capacity by fitting a rack the weighs heavy into the vans carrying capacity. This will also have a very negative effect on fuel returns too. By fitting light weight (not light duty) van racking won't impede on the vehicles carrying capacity nor the fuel returns.
