THE VAN RACKING SPECIALISTS
A special racking solution in a Man TGE for roadside wheel and tyre assistance
The van on this page contains a special racking solution for a firm that provides roadside assistance for wheels and tyres. The equipment installed by the Syncro System dealership divides the cargo compartment into two sections and has a clear focus on the energy autonomy of the mobile workshop. Energy autonomy is an increasingly frequent requirement and Syncro racking centres are well prepared to satisfy demand thanks to wide range of options.
So let’s take a closer look at the configuration of this vehicle, a large Man TGE L3 H3.
Liners for the Man TGE
All exposed parts of this Man TGE’s interior have been protected against dents and scratches to prevent long-term damage, costly repairs and depreciation.
The floor is covered by a marble-look plywood floor liner with high-grip steel profiles at all exposed edges and steel cups around the vehicle’s original floor anchor rings. The floor panels are laid using spacers to distribute weight evenly and to ensure an extended working life.
The walls and doors are lined with custom-made steel panels. The resulting surface is extremely strong, easy to clean, and bright and attractive too.
Since the wheel arches are not enclosed inside floor-level compartments, they have been covered in by steel panels at the top and aluminium chequer plate on the inward-facing surfaces.
Using cargo bars to create a separate section inside the Man TGE
A quick glance is all it takes to see that the cargo compartment of this Man TGE has been divided into two sections. Let’s look at the larger one – that accessible through the back doors – first.
Intended use: loading and unloading tyres and complete wheels.
Needs: to stop cargo sliding into the front section when the van is moving.
Solution: Syncrostop aluminium cargo bars with milled sides. The photos show two horizontal bars positioned forward of the wheel arches, one above the other. These bars are fixed in place by engaging their ends in rails with a matching milled profile. They can be moved to any position on the vertical rails or along the horizontal rails fixed to the side walls. The narrow sides of Syncro cargo bars are covered in rubber to avoid scratching cargo.
The forward section of the Man TGE’s cargo compartment: the work area
Now let’s move to the front of the cargo compartment, which is accessible through the sliding side door.
Intended use: work area and small tool store.
Needs: a work surface and storage for equipment, small and medium-sized tools and sundries. And complete autonomy in terms of energy!
Solution: five long drawers that open towards the outside of the van, complete with non-slip mats and internal space dividers, the drawer unit being enclosed by marble-look plywood panels, so that the top also serves as a workbench; two configurable shelves mounted on the side wall; a portable compressor connected to a hose reel; and a customised corner shelf that supports an Ecoflow power unit held in place by straps.
Complete autonomy for the Man TGE thanks to Syncro
Anybody who uses a van to work at customers’ premises or on construction sites knows how important it is not to have to depend on a mains power supply. The area at the front left of this Man TGE is equipped with everything needed to ensure full autonomy, and even to supply compressed air outside the van.
- The van’s 330-litre, portable, vertical oilless compressor features low-voltage starting and can operate even in sub-zero temperatures.
- A hose reel allows compressed air to be delivered outside the vehicle.
- The powerful Ecoflow power station includes a battery charger, lithium battery and pure sine wave inverter. It is charged by
- photovoltaic panels on the roof and is fully integrated with the van’s electrical wiring system.
