An Isuzu pickup for a utility company

Syncro racking in a utility company’s Isuzu D-Max

The racking system illustrated on this page is installed in an Isuzu D-Max L1 pickup with hardtop owned by a utility maintenance company. The vehicle is used to service and repair the local water infrastructure.

The racking serves two purposes. Firstly, it transforms the pickup’s inevitable design limitations into practical advantages and, secondly, it facilitates the work of technicians who use it by providing smart, functional solutions. To achieve these aims, the vehicle has been fitted with long drawers and a slide, all of which can be pulled out to allow easy access to cargo without having to stretch or climb inside. Let’s see in detail how the load bed of this D-Max Space Cab has been organised.

Syncro racking solutions for multi-utility companies

Is it always possible and advisable to line your vehicle?

Absolutely! Even when space is tight and restricted by openings like rear side windows and tailgates – as is the case with pickups.

Of course, the choice of liners may be more limited and the surfaces to be covered fewer, but the materials are the same and the liners themselves are always custom-made at Syncro’s own factory in Cassola, Italy.

The bed of the Isuzu D-Max seen in these photos is protected by a marble-look plywood floor liner. The same material has been used to make the panels that protect the tailgate, cover the pickup drawer unit and extend to the plastic liner, and cover the long drawers and equipment slide.

Long drawers: a great solution for pickups

This utility service’s Isuzu D-Max is fitted with the following items.

  • A pickup drawer unit located in the centre of the load bed. This unit is tailor-made for pickups and consists of a single, long and particularly spacious metal drawer separated into internal compartments by metal dividers. The drawer is mounted on ball-bearing runners and extends all the way to give unrestricted access to contents. To release it, just press the yellow button clearly visible between the two handles on the front and pull outwards. A lock with key increases the security of the material inside.
  • A long drawer unit mounted over the pickup drawer but of only half the width. This unit contains two drawers. The opening system is identical to that of the unit below but the handles at the front are recessed.

The slide: a great way to make full use of available space

The racking in this Isuzu D-Max is configured in vertical layers: above the long drawer unit is a slide topped with a panel of marble-look plywood fitted with hooks and straps. A practical handle allows the slide to extend easily, making it a great way to carry planks, boards or other long, bulky items.

How small details guarantee autonomy in the Isuzu D-Max

In such a small space, accessories can make a big difference! On the marble-look plywood panel that covers the pickup drawer unit, you can see two Airline profiles recessed into grooves. This solution provides solid support for cargo and allows it to be secured with lashing straps attached to the profiles.

A Syncroblock bar with hooks and straps has been added to the side of the long drawer unit for the same purpose.

The vehicle also has a metal vice fixed to the tailgate and a portable compressor housed in the space between the right of the plastic liner and the drawer unit. Finally, a multi-socket connected to an inverter has been fixed to the right of the plastic liner.
