Every tradesman has his own way of working, and his own favourite tools and techniques, so even two identical vans used for the same work can be configured in very different ways.

Our initial consultation always starts by ascertaining your requirements: the number and type of tools you need, what equipment is indispensable to you, what materials you carry most frequently, and what sort of functionality you expect.

This information forms the starting point for a customised racking solution which, even if it shares some features with other solutions, is nevertheless unique in configuration, choice of accessories, liners and cargo retention systems.

Differences apart, however, the result is always the same: order, efficiency and safety!

The comparison on this page is between two almost identical vehicles, an Iveco Daily L3 H3 and a Daily L3 H2.

Even the job done by the van’s operators is the same: both work in land reclamation, pipe unclogging and cesspit emptying. The vans may be the only vehicles needed for some jobs, though more often they provide technical support for vacuum tankers.

Both configurations have in common a well-equipped workshop area with a workbench and a fold-away vice bench, plenty of storage for tools, spare parts and equipment, and use of the bulkhead to secure additional loads. Let’s examine the differences and the special features!

The Syncro System catalogue offers a wide range of liners. Both the Dailys on this page are protected against wear, dents and damp, but in different ways, chosen by their respective owners.

Daily (1) has a two-layer aluminium and plywood floor liner with protective steel edging. The rear bumper is covered with aluminium tread plate too. The bulkhead is protected by custom-made marble-look plywood panels.

Daily (2) has a marble-look plywood floor liner and grey galvanised and painted steel panelling on the walls.

The work area is never placed on the right or left of a van haphazardly. It always depends on whether or not the van has a sliding door.

Daily (1). In this van the workshop area is located on the left, where the longer wall allows it to extend into a storage area for tools and other useful items.

The work area is the rearmost section of racking. It starts with a floor-level compartment with two doors (lift-and-rotate at the bottom and lift-up at the top) concealing a 5-litre single-phase compressor. Above this are six metal drawers and a marble-look plywood work top with a raised rear edge. The area is also equipped with a fold-away bench complete with a metal vice and an LED tube light fixed to the underside of the full-length top tray to illuminate the bench beneath. The forward column of racking on this side is dedicated to storage. It consists of a strap-type case compartment at floor level, a set of four large shelves with non-slip mats and a smaller shelf at the top, near the bulkhead.

Daily (2). The side door on the right of this van limits usable space but provides convenient access to the van, improving flexibility on the job site.

The workshop area occupies most of the wall and consists of a marble-look plywood work bench. The bench is illuminated by an LED tube light and served by a multi-socket on the wall behind it. A MultiBox cabinet with six pull-out transparent containers occupies the top of the wall while, at the bottom, two shelves with non-slip mats and internal space dividers are located over the wheel arch. A fold-away bench with vice and integrated support, a hose reel for compressed air and a cable reel for electrical power distribution complete the equipment.

The floor-level compartment over the wheel arch also contains a compressed air tank. A 300-litre compressor is housed on a shelf in the column alongside.

This column also contains three small metal drawers, two shelves and a cabinet of four pull-out transparent containers.

The storage areas are almost entirely made up of shelves in both these Dailys for cesspit maintenance. This is a highly versatile way to store different types of tools and materials for use on the job.

The main storage area in Daily (1) is located on the right, where four shelves are complemented by Multibox cabinets containing six large tilting and removable containers and twelve smaller ones of the same type. Bar racks with lashing straps have been added to both sides of this column. Near the rear door is a fire extinguisher bracket and a small hoist.

The storage area in Daily (2) is concentrated on the left. It includes one partly enclosed floor-level compartment with a bottom profile and another with a strap-type case transport kit. Further up are nine shelves and a full-length top tray with a fold-down door facing the rear. The rear-facing side panel of this column is equipped with a paper roll holder and two Syncroblock bars with hooks and straps.

A third floor-level compartment near the bulkhead houses an Ecoflow power station.

Both vans have been fitted with “special equipment” for equally special needs!

Daily (1). The owner of this van requested an efficient ventilation system for the cargo compartment. The items installed for this purpose are only partially visible in the photos. On the roof is a wind-driven rotary extractor which operates while the vehicle is moving. This is combined with two grilles, not visible in these photos, one in a rear door and the other in the side door.

The lighting system is also particularly effective. In addition to LED tube lights under the roof, an LED spotlight is installed near the rear doors to illuminate the outside of the van. This van’s equipment is completed by a compact mini hoist, specially designed for use in vans, installed near the right rear door. The hoist has a lifting capacity of 200 kg and incorporates a 12V winch with remote control.

Daily (2). Worth noting in this van is the 3600W Ecoflow power station with alternator charger. This is housed in a floor-level compartment at the front of the van and is connected to various multi-sockets and to an electric cable reel.

The bulkhead is a crucial area for the usability of the cargo compartment. If it is left free of racking, it can be used to carry bulky cargo. At the same time, however, it is important to be able to be clear it to allow easy passage in and out of the side door.

Both the Dailys on this page have adopted a highly practical way of guaranteeing functionality to match their users’ needs. The bulkheads have been left without racking but fitted with Syncroblock bars, with or without lashing straps. In the case of Daily (2), cable holders have been added at the top.

The side door of Daily (2) is also equipped with a mechanical step with a load capacity of 400 kg to facilitate access and reduce the risks associated with the difference in height between the van floor and the ground.

If you want to equip your Daily or any other van for any type of work, Syncro can tailor a solution to meet your needs.
