A VW CADDY L2 H1 FOR A CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT FIRM

Vans used in the construction industry require particularly practical and flexible storage solutions. On this page we examine a VW Caddy L2 H1 owned by a Naples company that hires, sells and services construction equipment.

For this van, Syncro System’s racking experts came up with a solution that combines generous storage with plenty of free floor space. The racking is concentrated on the left wall and at the side door, while the right wall and part of the bulkhead remain free.

The fully customised racking solution seen in this Caddy achieves two key objectives:

• To have enough room to load equipment that needs collecting, replacing, or delivering.
• To be able to access the most frequently used tools and materials from the ground without having to climb into the van.

Loading and unloading heavy equipment inevitably leads to a high rate of wear and tear. It is simply impossible to move construction equipment without ever touching the van’s bodywork.

That is why Syncro always recommends that you fit interior liners before installing any racking.

This VW Caddy’s original floor is protected by a plywood floor liner with a marble-look surface. This comes complete with recessed, stainless-steel cups to allow access to the van’s original anchor rings, and stainless-steel edge profiles to protect the plywood against the ingress of moisture and dirt.

The panels on the walls and doors are made from galvanised and painted steel finished in an attractive grey.

All Syncro liners are cut to shape and pre-drilled at Syncro’s own factory to ensure quick and easy installation in each model of van.

The racking on the left of this VW Caddy consists of a large floor-level compartment with a patented lift-and-rotate door, six drawers and two configurable shelves, each with non-slip mats and dividers.

The rear-facing side panel is equipped with a bar rack with flange and lashing strap.

The most striking part of this Caddy’s racking system is located on the right side. The wall has been left completely free and just one column of racking installed at the side door, facing outwards.

This provides:

• Four drawers with non-slip bottom mats and internal space dividers.
• Four trays for metal cases containing tools, spares and fasteners. Syncro case trays can be extended easily by pressing the button in the centre and pulling the case outwards by the handle. This allows you either to open the case or, if necessary, lift it out and take it with you to the job site.
• A top shelf.

The key points of this type of configuration are:

• Access to the van’s interior through the side door is rendered almost impossible. The racking which blocks the opening is arranged to face outwards.
• All elements in the column can therefore be opened from the ground. There is no need to climb on board just to pick up a tool, spare part or other item needed for the job in hand.
• The centre of the floor remains completely free for transporting large machines or equipment.

To make your van as functional as possible, you really need to browse through the accessories section of the Syncro catalogue.

Adding just one key accessory can radically change your way of working. In this Caddy for building equipment, good lighting makes all the difference. An LED tube light fixed to the roof cross-member provides uniform illumination throughout the cargo compartment, ensuring that you can always find what you are looking for at any time of the day or night.

Every trade and profession has its own working methods and needs specific solutions to optimise time and costs. Syncro’s experts can design a fully personalised racking system for any van, adopting solutions that meet your needs exactly and deliver a rapid return on your investment. The difference between working from a properly equipped van and an empty one can be calculated in time and money. A Syncro racking solution saves you half an hour a day on average, equivalent to at least 3300 euros over the course of a year.
