Our bespoke local authority van racking is designed to help keep tools, equipment, materials and supplies organised, secure and easy to access. We create practical storage layouts around your vehicle and the work your teams carry out, helping make better use of available space while keeping essential equipment close at hand.

Why Local Authority Vans Need Specialist Racking

Local authority teams can use vans for a wide range of maintenance, repair and environmental services, often carrying a varied mix of tools, equipment and materials between different sites. Without a well-planned storage system, equipment can become difficult to find and valuable load space can quickly be taken up by loose items. Specialist racking provides dedicated storage for different types of equipment, helping teams stay organised and access what they need efficiently while working across the local area.

Local authority teams often use vehicles for a wide range of services, from maintenance and repairs to environmental and grounds work, with each department having different equipment requirements.

What Our Customers Say

Hear from customers who have worked with VRS to create practical, bespoke van racking solutions for local authorities.

“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.”
