VOLKSWAGEN CADDY RACKING FOR LAUNDRY MAINTENANCE
A Syncro project for servicing laundry equipment
A Volkswagen Caddy racking project
Today we’re presenting a Syncro fit-out project for a Volkswagen Caddy L1 H1 used to service laundry equipment like washing machines, dryers and ironing machines.
Priority: This customer needed to carry tools, spares and materials for normal machine servicing operations, but also wanted plenty of floor space equipped for transporting bulky components or even whole machines to and from the workshop.
Liners: the key to effective protection
Understanding the importance of liners is crucial to ensuring an extended working life for your van. Some vans leave the factory with a sufficient level of protection already installed, but more often than not the installation of additional liners is necessary, or at least advisable.
The Caddy is equipped with a floor liner in resin-coated marine plywood with steel anchor ring cups and edge profiles. The top section of the walls is protected by panels of honeycomb polypropylene.
Syncro tip: A bulkhead liner is always a good idea, as the bulkhead is otherwise exposed to dents and scratches during loading and unloading operations.
Volkswagen Caddy racking
The racking in the Caddy is confined to the left of the van and consists of:
- a universal case compartment with a lashing strap at the front and an overhead shuttle for maximum security
- three metal drawers with non-slip bottom mats and internal space dividers; each drawer extends for its full length and incorporates an automatic latching system
- three configurable shelves, including one at the top of the column
The van has no racking on the right side.
How to make the bulkhead area more functional
It takes very little to greatly enhance the functionality of the bulkhead area. The Syncro catalogue contains a vast range of cargo retaining and carrying accessories for this purpose.
In the case of the Caddy, all it took was the addition of a Syncroblock slider bar with hooks and straps to transform the bulkhead into a useful means of supporting and securing cargo that is too big to fit in the racking on the left wall.
