About the project

Ford Custom racking installers van

We were approached by a local Ariel installer and asked to produce a racking design for his new Ford Custom van. The customer provided us with a list of equipment that needed to be accommodated, and also his unique solution for carrying drums of coax cabling. It was down to the Van Racking Solutions team to make it work.

Products we used for the racking installation

The customer’s solution for the cable drums is simple but very effective and best viewed in the pictures, two of these units are located at the rear of the van, one for the driver’s side and one for the passenger’s side. Multiple drums of coax cable can now be stored easily.

Drivers side racking products

Open storage areas at floor level, complimented with retaining straps, provide a flexible storage facility for bulky items. Open shelving with covered fronts features on the driver’s side, flexible storage with no risk of anything falling off the front of the shelf. Aerial installers carry lots of fixings and parts, therefore a stack of six service cases is included. It is really simple to lift a case off the shelf and take it to the job on site. An extendible top tray runs across the length of the racking at roof height. Top trays feature a hinged end flap therefore loading of long items is safe and fast.

Passengers side racking products

Open storage with retaining straps for floor level, we then added further covered shelving units to mirror the driver’s side. Installers need somewhere to store fixings and components, we added two levels of transparent parts drawers, making it easy to see how much stock you have.

Bulkhead racking products

Space on the bulkhead can easily be overlooked but not so with this design. Added to the bulkhead space is floor to roof stack of transparent tilt bins, even the larger fixings can be accessed easily. The vertical piece of rail and a ratchet strap mean there is somewhere to secure larger items in transit.
