The van in these photos is a Toyota Proace Max L3 H2 owned by a regional multi-utility company. The vehicle is destined for use by the road maintenance department.

All three internal walls have been equipped, with combinations of racking and accessories chosen to meet the needs expressed at the consultation stage.


How to create a solid base: liners!

It's difficult for racking to be strong if it is not fixed to equally robust liners. To enable your van to withstand the stress of working on the move, it really is essential to protect its interior. How to do so, however, is up to you…

Toyota Proace Max L3 H2: the predominant lining material in this van is aluminium tread plate. The floor liner, wheel arch covers and bulkhead liner are all made from it. The walls are covered with honeycomb polypropylene panels, while steel panels have been chosen for the rear and side doors. The overall effect is one of light, order and cleanliness. Fitting liners has long-term consequences too: the van's bodywork remains damage-free, keeping resale value high and eliminating unnecessary body repair costs.


Making the most of the space: the left wall of the Toyota Proace Max

What's the best way to organise space in your van? With Syncro, the possibilities are endless, but the final decision is always based on the needs of your job, the space available, and how frequently the different racking elements will be used.

Let's look at how the left wall of the multi-utility company's Toyota Proace Max has been arranged.

Toyota Proace Max L3 H2: The configuration starts with two floor-level compartments bordered at the front by steel profiles; further up are four configurable shelves with raised rear panels and non-slip mats, two metal drawers and, at the top, two shelves arranged side by side and enclosed by lift-up doors. The highest level is occupied by a 2025 model full-length top tray, with a fold-down access door at the rear.


Focus on the Toyota Proace Max: a custom solution in the middle of the van

The customer requested a special arrangement for the central corridor of the Toyota Proace Max L3 H2. The forward section of this area is occupied by a large, custom-made box, positioned across the floor and supported by an aluminium frame. The box is intended to carry bags of cement. The box can be accessed from the sliding door and is held in place by a Syncroblock bar with a lashing strap.

This solution is complemented by a removable tray, located on the floor behind it with its open side facing the rear doors.


Maximum flexibility: the right wall of the Toyota Proace Max

Toyota Proace Max L3 H2: the racking on the right wall partly mirrors that on the left. The main difference is that the shelves are all open on this side and that a compressor is installed in the forward floor-level compartment. The top of the column is quite different and features a shelf with a special frame for an Ecoflow power station and a cabinet of pull-out transparent drawers.


How to equip the bulkhead? The choice is yours, based on your working needs!

The bulkhead is often left clear as the perfect place to carry bulky items. Cargo and equipment can be loaded through the side door, leaving the corridor in the centre of the van free.

The bulkhead is used in an original way in this van.

Toyota Proace Max L3 H2. The bulkhead area in this vehicle was expressly designed at the request of the customer, who needed a space to carry road signs. The equipment consists of a table covered in resin-coated marine plywood, with an aluminium frame and a raised front edge. The road signs are held in place on the table by a lashing strap attached to a Syncroblock rail on the bulkhead.


Accessories for all needs, from Syncro

The Syncro catalogue always has the right accessory for your needs. And you can always add accessories at a later date, after your racking has been installed! This vehicle for a multi-utility company contains a good selection of accessories. Here is a brief overview.

Toyota Proace Max L3 H2. On the left: a bar rack with lashing strap on the floor near the rear doors, fitted thanks to a custom modification to the racking side panel; a fire extinguisher bracket; and a paper roll holder with rain cover on the door. On the right: at floor level, a square tray for shovels, coupled with a Syncroblock bar and lashing strap on the side of the racking; a bar rack with strap on the wall; hooks on the side panel; and a Syncroblock bar with coat hooks on the door.

On the side panel of the right-side racking facing the bulkhead: a reel for compressed air hose, a handwash kit and a soap dispenser. Under the roof: an LED spotlight for illuminating the access area, fixed to the cross-member over the rear doors; LED tube lights and a ladder rack with lashing straps.
