Commercial vans

It depends on what you carry and what you’re optimising for — most fleets land on one of three options:

• Trade System — our cost-effective, open shelving option. Good for quickly grabbing small parts on the way to a job.
• Syncro System — our fuller steel range of toolboxes, drawers and cupboards, built for durability so it holds up to heavy, everyday trade use. The right call when your fleet is hard on its gear.
• Syncro Aluminium line — a lightweight option, up to 30–40% lighter than the equivalent steel components. The right call when payload or fuel economy matters more – especially for electric vehicles, can be mixed with existing steel Syncro components.

If you’re unsure what best works for your workflow we’ll help you match the system to your needs. See our storage systems or get in touch to talk through your van.

A well-configured work van is built around your workflow. Key things to get right:

• Shelving or drawer configuration matched to what you actually carry, not just what fits
• Load rating, so the system holds real trade weight
• Secure storage for higher-value tools and stock
• Internal lighting, so you can see what you’re reaching for
• Whether the system is modular, so it can be reconfigured as your kit or your fleet changes

We help you prioritise which of these matter most for your trade and your fleet. Build your setup in our Fitout Configurator

We can replicate a fitout across Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Toyota HiAce, Ford Transit Custom and other major van platforms, with adjustments for:

• Cabin and load space dimensions specific to each model
• Payload and GVM differences between platforms
• Minor fitment changes so the same shelving or drawer system fits properly

This is common for fleets running mixed makes and wanting a consistent setup across all of them. See how we support fleet-wide consistency on our Commercial Fleets page.

Most fleets combine more than one layer of security rather than relying on just one:

• Lockable drawers, so individual drawers can’t be opened without a key
• Lockable cupboards and cabinets for bulkier or higher-value items
• A central locking system, to secure the whole vehicle at once
• Security cameras, to monitor the vehicle and its contents
• Alarm systems, for an added layer of theft deterrence

Tool and stock theft is a real cost for trade and fleet operators — see our equipment safety and security options or talk to us about securing your van
