Metal and Wood Van Racking
Tailored van racking solutions to make your life easier.
We see your van as your mobile workshop and having everything in its place allows you to work smarter and more efficiently – giving you time to fit in more jobs (or more free time if that’s your goal). Whether you drive a Ford Transit, a VW Transporter or something a little smaller, we can work with you to create the ultimate van shelving and storage solution.
If you’re looking to update, or replicate, your existing van racking we can work with you to create a configuration you are happy with. If it’s the first time you’re installing van racking, then there’s a few things you’ll need to consider.
Which materials to use?
It’s the age-old dilemma of metal versus wood. While wood might seem a sustainable, budget-friendly option, it’s worth considering how long you plan to keep your vehicle, as metal van racking tends to prove a lot more durable. It also has the added bonus of a lighter weight, which can be crucial if you’re often carrying heavy machinery or working to a payload.
Going fixed or modular?
Are you happy for your van racking to remain static once installed, or do you want the option to move parts around, or even install it into another vehicle at a later date? If it’s the latter, then a modular system might prove your best option.

Choosing a layout
Think about how you’ll use your van racking. If there’s certain items you know you’ll need access to every day, then it makes sense to ensure they are easily accessible. On the contrary, if there’s components and tools you only need once in a blue moon, then perhaps they can be stored out of reach on a daily basis – just make sure you know where they are when you need them! Considering little details like this will help you understand how you want your shelving and storage to be organised.
