MERCEDES SPRINTER RACKING FOR ELECTRICIANS

For an electrician, a van is an indispensable work partner: at the same time a warehouse, a workshop and a means of transport.

Meeting all these needs calls for a suitable set-up, always different depending on the customer’s specific requirements. In this example we look at a Mercedes Sprinter L2 H2, a higher-roof model with softer interior lines, fitted out by Syncro System for installing and servicing electrical systems.

Whatever make and model your van is, and whatever your trade or profession is, the same rule applies: always line the cargo compartment before installing racking.

Lining the walls and doors with custom-made panels protects the original bodywork against dents, scratches and the harmful effects of liquid infiltration, while also improving the look of the cargo area: it is easy to clean and creates a uniform surface. Last but not least, furniture and accessories are fixed to the lining panels, avoiding holes in the bodywork.

The floor of the Sprinter is protected by a floor liner made from resin-coated marine plywood: the same material was also used to line the bulkhead. The walls and doors of the van were fitted with steel panels, extremely resistant even in the event of an accident.

The second van is a 2018 model year Mercedes Sprinter L2 H2 with a spacious cargo compartment that the owner wanted us to transform into a mobile workshop. Here are the key features of this impressive racking system:

Left side: 10 metal drawers of different sizes, three case trays with Syncro’s patented release button for quick and easy opening, three configurable shelves, a full-length top tray and a small cabinet with four pull-out transparent drawers. Floor space is shared equally between a compartment with a lift-up door and a case transport compartment with a self-locking shuttle. Two open shelves are enclosed by a combination of a lift-up and a lift-and-rotate door for easy loading and unloading. The racking on this fully equipped side is completed by a lockable locker.

Right side: here, the racking comprises a floor-level compartment with a lift-up door, six individual case trays, two specially shaped shelves for removable plastic containers, three small configurable shelves, Multibox cabinets with 10 pull-out transparent drawers and a full-length top tray. What is special about this configuration is the presence of two elements arranged so that they can be used from outside the van through the side door: one is a sideways-opening drawer unit with three drawers and the other is cabinet of transparent drawers.

With the accessories removed and only the racking left, this van would lose a whole lot of essential functionality!

The Sprinter boasts a bar rack with strap, two cable holders, a pull-out bench with a metal vice, a paper roll holder, a section of Syncroblock slider bar with hooks and straps, and LED tube lights under the roof.

Other accessories can be added at a later date too. Browse the most popular accessories with Syncro customers here.

This van, fitted out for electricians, is also equipped with a roof rack: on the Sprinter the installation consists only of aluminium cross bars.

Whatever type of Syncro System roof rack you choose to install, the first cross bar is always fitted with Syncro’s exclusive Ultrasilent noise-reducing profile. This specially shaped strip of rubber breaks up the air flow under the rack, reducing noise and vibration and improving comfort on the road.
