Why Is It Important To Have A Good Van Shelving Solution?

Decking your van or ute out with an effective storage solution means that you can properly maximise space and enhance your productivity while on the move, no matter the location.

For individuals and businesses that rely on their vehicles for daily operations a well-planned storage layout is essential.

Here is exactly why it’s so important:

  • Improved Organisation : Helps you to keep equipment, tools and materials neatly organised and arranged. This makes it easy to find what you need quickly. Lost or misplaced items will be a thing of the past.

  • Increased Efficiency : A well-thought-out storage system layout ensures streamlined functionality, allowing you to purely focus on the work at hand, rather than having to search high and low for the right tool.

  • Safety and Security : Storage systems also greatly improve the safety of those working around your van. It ensures that tools and other such items are securely stored. This reduces the risk of accidents occurring, along with any damage to your vehicle or possessions that could occur during transit.

  • Maximise Space : A good shelving/storage solution can make sure that you are taking advantage of every inch of potential space in your vehicle. Whether it’s horizontally, vertically, or even a custom layout design, you can really unlock a whole other level of potential with your vehicle.

  • Built for the Long Haul : Investing in a set of quality storage solutions like those from Stor-Pak can ensure that you get the most out of your vehicle and tools. The high-quality storage bins have been built to withstand the rigours of daily use and help to maintain the van’s interior for longer.

What to Look Out for When Looking for Van Storage Solutions?

There are a number of considerations you’ll need to make when designing exactly what you want your van storage solutions to look like and achieve.

Consider your unique needs, the weight and bulk of your tools, the materials of the storage system, and the level of accessibility that you require.

Assessing the factors below will ensure you choose the best system for your needs.

  • Customisability : Choose a storage solution/configuration that is fit to the unique size and shape of your vehicle, as well as the type of equipment you’ll be transporting. Investing in modular shelving and adjustable racks allows you to reconfigure your layout as you need.

  • Material & Durability : It’s worthwhile investing in high-quality material such as durable plastics. These materials ensure your goods continue to hold up to daily wear and tear.

  • Space & Design : Your van storage solution should help you optimise both vertical and horizontal space, while also not taking up too much overall space, so you have the flexibility to still carry larger items when needed.

  • Security & Safety : Ensure that the system you choose keeps your tools and other items organised and secure so that they don’t shift or become hazards. Including features such as locking mechanisms adds to your vehicle’s security and helps to add extra peace of mind when leaving your vehicle unattended.

  • Weight Considerations : You should be aware of the total weight that will be added to your vehicle as a result of the storage addition, as this can impact your van’s handling and overall fuel efficiency. You also need to assess whether or not your storage system can actually handle the weight of the items you need to store.
