STORE commercial customer Volt Air Marine Engineering kindly emailed some images of the first van in their new fleet to use our elfa shelving for van racking and storage. We were so impressed with the neat 30cm deep van racking configuration inside the test van installation that we thought we’d share the details of this neat storage solution here on the blog.
Whilst we know lots about storage products here at STORE we’d never really thought about using elfa as a van racking system before, however our friends at Volt Air Marine Engineering were so complementary after testing our elfa shelving system and plastic storage boxes as a van racking solution that we thought some readers may like to see the results:
Installed in the pride of Volt Air’s fleet (a 2-week old Vauxhall Vivaro long wheel base van), our elfa van racking and storage system cost £950 (incl VAT) in total to rack-out the entire vehicle. This included all basket shelving, storage boxes, sparring baskets, and part bins AND (we’re told) was a third of the price of the last van racking system Volt Air installed.
Volt Air MD Adam White explained that:
“The total weight of the metal elfa van racking system is around 85kg which is a fraction of the weight of other metal and wood van shelving systems we’ve used in the past. The last thing we wanted was a van racking system that then limited the weight of tools and parts we could carry on-board and elfa has proved spot on…there’s even room to carry a fully laden Euro pallet on the deck without snagging the shelving and parts bins.”
Our elfa basket shelves and elfa sparing baskets have also proved ideal at minimising movement of tools and stock in the test van on motorway journeys making life more pleasant on long drives and tool and parts storage more organised and easy to hand for the marine engineers once on site.
