THE VAN RACKING SPECIALISTS
Who needs a racking system?
Really speaking, anybody who drives a van needs some form of racking. Why? To:
- use space more efficiently
- protect the interior of the cargo compartment
- keep everything tidy
- project a more professional image
- work more efficiently
The best approach is to get a professional transformation BEFORE starting to use the vehicle. On this page you can see a 2006 Ford Custom L2 H1 owned by an electrician. The nature of this trade requires a van with ample storage, cargo retaining accessories and some form of roof rack for carrying long objects like ladders.
Let’s take a closer look at this van transformation for an electrician – just one of tens of thousands of projects completed by Syncro System racking centres since 1996.
Interior liners: always fit them before the racking!
This Custom L2 H1 has had custom-made liners installed on the floor, walls and doors. The floor is protected by a marble-look plywood floor liner while the walls and rear doors are lined with custom-made steel panelling.
Both these materials stand out for their strength and low weight, two essential characteristics to avoid adding excess weight while still protecting the original body panels against dents, scratches and rust.
Recommendation: Syncro System racking centres always recommend that liners be installed before any racking. In this way, the racking can be anchored directly to the liners, leaving the van’s body panels free from holes, boosting the vehicle’s resale value and significantly reducing the risk of having to visit a bodywork repair shop.
The racking on the left of the electrician’s Custom
The left side of this electrician’s Ford Custom is equipped with:
- two floor-level compartments, the first partly enclosed by a door with Syncro’s patented lift-and-rotate hinge system and the second equipped with a case transport kit complete with lashing straps and an end panel
- two metal drawers with Syncro’s exclusive automatic latching system, non-slip bottom mats and space dividers for a well-organised interior
- four configurable shelves with raised rear panels to prevent items falling down behind the racking
- a top tray for long objects with a fold-down door at the rear
- a paper roll holder for basic cleanliness on site
Optimising space on walls with sliding doors
Space on the right of this van is limited by the presence of a sliding door. Thanks to Syncro racking, however, the remainder of the wall has been used to full effect. Note how the racking is offset to follow the contours of the wall while maintaining a perfectly vertical front face.
The right-side racking in this electrician’s Custom stands on a floor-level compartment that is partly enclosed by one of Syncro’s exclusive full-access fold-down doors. Above this are four shelves and five component cases in Syncro’s patented metal case trays. These trays feature a unique mechanism that connects the release button at the front to two side latches, ensuring easy opening and closing, exceptional strength and a fool-proof action!
Cargo retaining accessories: safety and versatility
If you want to keep one side of your van free, Syncro can use it to install the accessories you need to make your van more versatile and to adapt to the needs of the moment. Thanks to the addition of a cargo retaining accessory, the bulkhead of this Custom L2 H1 can be used to transport even large goods, materials and equipment in complete safety. The accessory in question is a Syncroblock slider bar with hooks and lashing straps, but the Syncro System catalogue contains dozens of other products that could fit the bill too.
Using the roof to make space inside
If you want to avoid cluttering up the inside of your van, a roof rack is the best possible way to carry long ladders or awkwardly shaped equipment to your place of work. Syncro System supplies safe, custom-made roof racks for all models of van.
The roof of this Custom L2 H1 has been fitted with a Syncro roof rack made up of cross bars, side fences and a rear loading roller.
What makes Syncro roof racks unique is the presence of an Ultrasilent profile under the front-most cross bar. This specially shaped rubber profile breaks up turbulence when the van is moving, significantly reducing noise and vibration.
