Perfect work van storage ideas for every tradesperson

You're looking for work van storage ideas, but there's so many options out there it's hard to know what's best for your vehicle, your work and your sanity.

Thankfully, as our van racking and storage solutions is customisable, you can create any number of van storage ideas and design the kit that works for you. bott Smartvan was built with flexibility in mind, so elements have multiple purposes and can be moved and changed to adapt to your needs.

Have a look at some of our van storage ideas below.

For the tradesperson in a hurry

Everybody's in a hurry nowadays, so we've created a module for all of your grab and go items. The module consists of 2 removable varioSafe storage boxes which can be organised with dividers or small organisational boxes to safely store all the small bits and bobs you might need to grab and go.

It also includes 3 varioSlide drawers, great for storing larger items and open top shelves, making the most of the storage space.

For the tradesperson with too many power tools

Can you really have too many power tools? That's for you to decide, we're not going to judge. This module provides you with dedicated space for 6 power tools, and you can fit two of these modules in your medium van - giving you 12 dedicated power tool spaces. If you have a small van then you have space for 9 power tools using this module and 24 in your large van! If this still isn't enough you can buy extra power tool holders from our accessories shop and chop and change the elements until you're happy.

For the tradesperson's office on-the-road

We know that your van isn't just your transport and your storage but often has to serve as your office as well. Our van cab organiser provides you with 2 A4 document holders to keep your paperwork organised whilst you're on the road, as well as an A4 storage box with lid and cup holder. It also includes a magnetic square and magnet to hold paperwork secure whilst you're moving from job to job.

Our van cab organiser fixes to your van seat using the seatbelt and headrest, keeping it secure whilst making it easy to remove if you need the extra seat.

For the health and safety conscious tradesperson

Which we're sure is every single person reading this article. We have a handful of accessories that are designed to make sure you have the kit you need on hand to stay safe.

Our first aid kit and holder provide you with easy access to a first aid kit if you should ever need one.

If you're at risk of encountering a fire at work (better safe than sorry!) we also offer a fire extinguisher and fixing kit.

For those of you dealing with the sorts of materials and chemicals that make plastic gloves a necessary accessory, we've created a glove box holder so you can find what you need precisely when you need it.

For the tradesperson with hundreds of small items to store

We know what it's like, you have dozens of small items to store and find and there's nothing more frustrating than realizing you don't have the bits you need to get the job done.

bott Smartvan van racking offers a handful of different solutions for storing small items so you can choose the solution that works best for you.

The first two options are designed to work with the shelving element of bott Smartvan van racking. The first is in shelf dividers. These are great for small to medium parts in small quantities. The individual boxes can be taken out and moved around easily.

The second is our bott boxes, which fit facing outwards on our shelves so you can clearly see what's inside. These can be split into three sections to store medium sized items or many smaller items.

The next option is our varioSort service cases, designed to be quick and easy to grab before heading into a job. The boxes within the case can be organised to suit your kit and the case itself fits in our dedicated varioSort holders so they're secure in transit. The final option for storing smaller items is our tilt boxes which are designed to work with our perfo panels. We really have squeezed all of the storage options out of our racking! These are great for small items (especially when used with a divider) and medium sized items. The tilt boxes keep these items secure and easily accessible whilst allowing you to clearly see what's inside and when you need to restock.

For the tradesperson with big items of kit

It's not just the little bits and bobs that need storing - space for the bigger items is just as important. bott Smartvan van racking offers full floor and half floor deck kits, providing even more storage space whilst keeping the loading bay clear for larger items. The under-floor area is also a perfect space for ladders, keeping them easily accessible without taking up valuable loading bay space.

A combination of our accessories work together to keep larger loads secure, including an anti-slip load mat, lashing rail and load securing strap with fitting and cam buckle.
