FORD CONNECT VAN RACKING

The Ford Transit Connect is one of the most popular compact vans among tradespeople working in city centres every day, where manoeuvrability and load space must coexist without compromise. Available in short- and long-wheelbase versions (4,425 mm and 4,825 mm respectively), with a load volume of up to 3.6 m³ and a payload of almost 900 kg, it offers the room needed for equipment, materials and tools while keeping the agility typical of this class. The 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0-litre EcoBlue engines, alongside the Plug-in Hybrid, suit both high-mileage drivers and those working mainly in urban areas.

Syncro System offers conversion solutions that turn the Connect's load area into an organised workspace, resistant to daily wear and configurable to each professional's specific needs.

The first step of every van conversion is protecting the load area. For the Connect we offer floors in resin-coated marine plywood or chequer-plate aluminium, both designed to withstand impacts, moisture and the repeated passage of trolleys or heavy equipment. The side walls and bulkhead are lined with pre-painted steel panels or high-strength plastics, while the wheel-arch covers complete the protection, reducing wear on the bodywork over time.

The Ultra system lets you configure the Connect's interior with multi-shelf racking, metal drawer units with telescopic runners and transparent PMMA drawers that make it easy to find fasteners and small spare parts at a glance. For delicate instruments or specific equipment, workbenches with a removable vice and case compartments are available. Every component mounts onto the vehicle's anchoring rails without extra drilling and can be reconfigured if your trade or van changes.

Load bars, ratchet straps and floor rails keep transported materials in order even on the most demanding journeys. LED load-area lighting improves visibility during evening jobs or in poor light, while aluminium loading ramps and hand-wash kits with a roll holder round off the equipment for those working away from base.

For those needing extra load capacity, Syncro System offers roof racks and ladder racks with the aerodynamic Ultrasilent profile for the Ford Transit Connect, made of aluminium to cut overall weight without sacrificing strength. The roof bars can be fitted with a stainless-steel rear roller to make loading ladders, guttering and long materials easier, reducing physical effort for the operator.

The most popular configurations for this van are chosen by electricians and installers of domestic systems, plumbers and heating engineers, service and maintenance technicians, couriers and last-mile logistics operators. The Connect's compact size makes it ideal for those working in urban areas or needing to reach low-emission and restricted-traffic zones, while the load volume stays sufficient for a full set of professional equipment.

Choosing Syncro System means relying on certified products, lightweight yet strong components and over twenty-five years' experience in designing commercial-vehicle conversions. Every configuration for the Connect is developed from the customer's real operational needs, to ensure order, safety and load-area organisation that lasts.
