Our bespoke civil engineering van racking is designed to help keep tools, equipment and materials organised, secure and accessible throughout the working day. We create practical storage layouts around your vehicle, the equipment you carry and the demands of your work, making better use of available space while retaining room for larger or bulky items.

Why Civil Engineering Vehicles Need Specialist Racking

Civil engineering teams often need to carry a wide range of tools, equipment and materials between sites, from hand tools and measuring equipment to power tools and site essentials. Without a suitable storage system, valuable equipment can become difficult to find, damaged or unnecessarily exposed to the demands of day-to-day site work. Specialist racking provides dedicated storage for different types of equipment, helping keep your van organised and making it easier to access what you need when you need it.

Our Previous Civil Engineering Vehicle Builds

From everyday tools to larger site equipment, our van racking can be configured around the demands of civil engineering work. Explore some of our previous builds below for examples of how we’ve made better use of space in working vans.

  • Maxus Deliver 7 Racking | Airia

    For Airia’s compressed air service engineers, this Maxus Deliver 7 was transformed with adaptable shelving, secure drawers and a durable workbench with vice, keeping tools and equipment organised between callouts.

  • Ford Transit Van Racking | Road Reclamation

    Secure storage takes priority in this Ford Transit conversion, where modular drawer units and an Armorgard pull-out drawer give Road Reclamation a practical way to transport tools, equipment and site essentials.

What Our Customers Say

Hear from customers who have worked with VRS to create practical, bespoke van racking solutions for their civil engineering businesses.

“VRS have designed and fitted racking on several small vans and 3.5 ton tippers for us. From our initial contact through to the vehicles being delivered, the service has always been top notch. James has visited us at our depot to talk through our options and to ensure each vehicle receives the racking that is best suited to its specific role. I have also visited VRS to discuss various lighting options for our vans, and James could not have been more helpful. VRS designed and installed bespoke racking solutions for each of our 3.5 ton tippers. The service we have received has always been very professional and I would fully recommend VRS as a supplier.”
