The VW Transporter is Volkswagen’s offering in the mid-size van segment. This compact, versatile van is a popular choice with tradesmen of all kinds. On this page you can see two different Syncro racking solutions for the Transporter L1H1. The first van is owned by an insulation business while the second is used by a multi-utility company to service water mains. Two very different jobs and two very different racking systems, but the same result: far greater efficiency, less time-wasting, a tidier van and a more professional image.

Step 1: the liners This VW Transporter’s floor is protected by a resin-coated plywood liner that forms a perfectly flat walkable surface and protects the original floor against damage and humidity. The bulkhead is thoroughly protected by plywood liners with a marble-look finish. Step 2: the racking Racking is installed along both side walls. The racking on the left consists of two floor-level compartments, one with a door and the other with a shuttle-type case retaining system. Further up are three metal drawers and four plain shelves. The racking on this side finishes with a full-length top tray with a fold-down door at the back, customised to follow the contours of the Transporter’s side walls. The racking on the right is particularly compact (with two-hole side panels at the bottom and a one-hole panel at the top) and consists of a floor-level compartment with a door and a large number of tilting transparent containers (eight large and sixteen small). Step 3: the accessories The side of the racking near the rear doors is equipped with:

• a pull-out vice bench complete with metal vice, inserted between the floor-level compartment and the bottom drawer
• a silicone cartridge rack with holes for the nozzles
• a paper roll holder

On the van’s bulkhead is a bar and strap with sliding fittings for securing whatever material needs to be transported.

The only liner in this Transporter is the floor liner, again in resin-coated plywood, which protects the floor panels beneath and provides an easy-to-clean surface. Let’s have a closer look at the racking. Left side The racking on the left consists of:

• a set of simple shelves installed at large intervals to allow even bulky materials and equipment to be carried
• a floor-level case compartment with a bar and strap retaining system
• a number of pull-out transparent containers
• a full-length top tray
• an extremely useful, removable waste bin with a compact design and a tilt opening system that allows it to be removed from the van for easy emptying and cleaning. A bin is a great way to keep your van tidy by clearing away waste, packaging and other unwanted rubbish.

Right side The racking on this side of the van consists only of a bench with a marble-look plywood top and a lashing strap. This simple but effective idea provides support and security for all kinds of cargo. Bulkhead Two useful accessories are installed on the bulkhead: a paper roll holder and a cable holder.
