A PEUGEOT EXPERT L1 H1 WITH RACKING FOR A NAPLES CONSTRUCTION COMPANY
A racking solution in an Expert for a building firm in Naples
Carefully thought-out racking is even more important if space is limited
Owning a compact van need not limit your ambitions for racking. All that is needed is a more accurate approach to design. Without a careful analysis of internal space, dimensions and working requirements, it’s all too easy to clutter up your cargo compartment without making your work any easier.
Syncro System always adopts the right approach and tailors every racking solution to the needs of its end user. The van seen on this page is a small Peugeot Expert L1 H1 owned by a Naples-based construction company that works on residential and non-residential projects. The racking configuration is extremely compact but boasts numerous specific advantages:
- An accurate analysis of available space. Look at the left wall and you’ll see how the racking reaches up to the roof but leaves a useful space near the rear doors for carrying sacks of material and construction equipment.
- A clever use of space in all dimensions. On the right wall, all the racking and accessories are concentrated at the top, while most of the wall and 100% of the floor remain clear for cargo.
- A focus on road safety. Retaining accessories on the bulkhead and wall ensure that cargo remains securely in place even under sudden braking or manoeuvring.
Let’s look at the adopted solution in detail!

Interior protection for the Expert: the necessary starting point
Fitting out a van the Syncro way always starts with the installation of bodywork protection. Liners can be chosen to suit your requirements, the condition of the van on arrival at the racking centre, and the type of work for which it is used.
Intended use: construction, renovation, excavation and demolition. This van is destined to suffer a high level of wear and tear, both from the continuous movements of building workers and from the loading and unloading of materials and equipment.
Initial situation: a floor liner was already installed.
Requirement: to protect the side walls and bulkhead.
How: resin-coated marine plywood for the bulkhead, and panels of honeycomb polypropylene for the walls.
A space saving configuration for the Expert’s walls
As already mentioned, the racking on the left of this construction firm’s Expert is designed to combine ample storage and essential accessories with plenty of free space near the doors for loading sacks and bulky tools.
The column of racking located near the bulkhead consists of an open floor-level compartment with hooks and a lashing strap at the front, two configurable shelves and a top tray that runs for the full length of the van to accommodate screed boards, rebar and other long items.
The rearward side panel is equipped with a multi-purpose metal pocket and a paper roll holder.
The same logic has been applied to the right wall, albeit with a different result. Here the racking and accessories have been located at the top, leaving the lower wall and floor area completely free. At the top is a cabinet of tilting transparent drawers. Just below this is a Syncroblock bar with three adjustable telescopic hooks.
Cargo security and easy access
The bulkhead of this construction company’s Expert is equipped only with a Syncroblock bar with hooks and lashing straps. These zero-footprint accessories enable cargo of all shapes and sizes to be transported securely.
The position chosen for these accessories is also a strategic one – right next to the van’s side door, through which cargo can be loaded directly without having to slide it around.
The design of efficiency: where Syncro System excels
You might think that a small van like the Expert will always be cluttered up, given its limited cargo compartment. The racking described on this page, however, shows how a carefully thought-out solution can actually improve efficiency and transform a small van into a great partner for the demands of construction work.
