If you want your new racking system to be a perfect match for your needs, you don’t necessarily have to throw away your old racking!
The mobile workshop in the 2006 Peugeot Boxer L2 H2 on this page, for example, incorporates both new elements and used ones removed from an old van. All Syncro System racking elements are compatible with each other in dimensions and installation method. They are all made from top-quality materials too and are resistant to humidity, wear and UV radiation, with the result that when an old van has to be scrapped, the racking inside is often still in excellent condition.
Let’s take a closer look at the mobile workshop installed in this Boxer operated by a company that hires out and services earth moving machinery.
The first step in this transformation, and one that Syncro technicians always recommend, was the installation of interior bodywork protection.
A good start ensures a good finish. The liners fitted to this van provide effective support for the racking and accessories and will certainly extend the vehicle’s life by protecting its walls, doors and floor against scratches and rust.
This Peugeot Boxer has been fitted with a plywood floor liner with a marble-look surface that forms a perfectly flat surface and resists wear and heavy loads. Steel edge profiles at the van’s doors and steel cups for the original anchor rings provide effective protection against water infiltration. The bulkhead is also protected by marble-look plywood panels, arranged to follow the contours of the bodywork.
The van’s side walls and doors are lined with super-strong steel panels to protect the bodywork in the event of a collision or sudden manoeuvres.
The Syncro System catalogue also includes roof liners and solutions for making use of space at the top of the cab. Learn more here.
In this Boxer for servicing earth moving machinery, all the vertical surfaces are equipped with racking to serve different purposes. The left wall combines a work bench with abundant storage space and features:
The right of this Peugeot Boxer is dedicated entirely to storage. Its most striking features are two large stainless-steel tanks. These items, which were removed from an old van, have been integrated perfectly into a configuration of drawers above the enclosed floor-level compartment. The tanks are divided into two sections, one of 30 and the other of 40 litres, both with level indicator tubes and taps at the bottom. Also included in the right-side racking are seven drawers and three configurable shelves.
In vans with a sliding side door, the area near the cab bulkhead can be accessed easily from outside the vehicle. This important fact needs to be taken into consideration when designing a racking system.
For the bulkhead of this Boxer, the Syncro team created a second work bench supported by a strong metal profile structure. A compressor-generator slide has been installed underneath. Like the tanks, this slide was recovered from the customer’s old van. The slide is released by pressing a button on the handle. The equipment on it can then be pulled out for use outside the van without having to load and unload it every time.
The functionality of this Peugeot Boxer is optimised by the following accessories:
