A fixed place for every length
Storing long materials in your van
You only have to get storing long materials in your van right once. Pipes, profiles and battens each get their own fixed place: nothing rolls or slides, no scratches and the right piece is immediately to hand. Securely fixed, on every trip.
Sorted by length and type
Up to 30 minutes a day faster: the right profile immediately to hand
Half past seven on site, and you pull yet another wrong length from that pile. All that searching and dragging seems harmless, but together it adds up to unpaid working hours that come back every week.
Storing long materials in your van starts with sorting: separate holders and compartments per length and per type. You see at a glance what is there and you pull out the right piece straight away, even with your gloves still on.

Protect what you carry
Every profile arrives on site undamaged
A scratched copper pipe or a dented profile is no use to you at the customer's. Loose materials rub against each other and against your walls, and each time you throw money away or drive back for new.
In holders with soft rubber lining, each piece lies separately and protected. Your materials arrive the way you loaded them. For anything that does not fit in a holder, combine with smart load securing.
Safe in every emergency stop
Drive calmly: nothing slides, rolls or shoots forward
One emergency stop is enough to turn a loose pipe into a projectile. That clatter of rolling material behind your back is more than annoying: it is a risk to you, your passenger and your load.
Clamps and holders fix every length firmly against the wall or under the floor. That way you can carry your load safely, trip after trip, even when you suddenly have to brake hard.
Made to measure for your materials
Made to measure for your business and up to 30% lighter in aluminium
No two tradespeople carry the same lengths. That is why we match holders, tubes and floor drawers to what you take with you every day: copper pipe, cable trunking, wooden battens or metal profiles. Everything is modular, so you simply extend later.
Choose between robust steel or lighter aluminium: up to 30% lighter, so more payload for your materials. Do you drive electric? Then that also means extra range for your EV.
Did you know… that with aluminium you save up to 30% in weight compared with steel, at the same load-bearing capacity? That small gain goes to your long materials.

Your van as a business card
The customer sees order and craftsmanship, not a jumble of battens
Your customer looks on when you open the doors. A chaos of profiles and straps says something about your work before you have said a single word.
A tidy load area with every item in its place radiates professionalism, lasts for years and earns you more when you later sell your van. Extra-long items to carry? With roof racks and pipe tubes on the roof, you can even take the longest profiles with you safely.
Straps or a fixed system?
Crash-tested and anchored: no more fiddling with straps
Pipes between the seats, battens loose through the cab and tying straps again on every trip. It works, until it goes wrong once. And in the event of damage or a dispute, you are in a weaker position with a loose load than with a certified fit-out.
Our system is crash-tested (ECE R17, TÜV GS) and professionally anchored to your van. Loading takes seconds instead of minutes, and everything is held just as securely on every trip. No knots, no doubt.

All your questions answered
Frequently asked questions about storing long materials in your van
What does storing long materials in your van cost?
The cost of storing long materials is determined by three things: the size of your van, the material and the number of holders and drawers.
- Size: an L3H3 has room for longer drawers than a compact L1H1.
- Material: steel is the most competitively priced, aluminium up to 30% lighter.
- Make-up: from a few pipe holders to a complete set-up with floor drawers and roof racks.
With a made-to-measure quote you know exactly, with no obligation and no commitment to buy.
How long does it take to fit holders and floor drawers?
We fit holders and drawers for long materials quickly; we schedule the fitting shortly after your van is delivered.
For larger bespoke work, such as floor drawers combined with roof racks and wall lining, you receive a clear schedule beforehand so your van is not off the road longer than necessary.
Which material should I choose for holders and drawers: steel or aluminium?
Steel and aluminium are both strong enough for long and heavy materials: so choose on price or weight.
- Steel is the most competitively priced and can take rough pipes and profiles.
- Aluminium weighs up to 30% less and does not rust: that saves payload, and you go further with it when driving electric.
We weigh up both options for you, literally, based on what you load every day.
Can I extend my system later?
Extending is always possible, because our fit-out is modular. If longer pipes or extra profiles are added, we clip on holders, clamps or an extra floor drawer without replacing anything.
If you change vans later, most modules simply move across with you.
What if a holder or drawer breaks?
Holders, clamps and drawers for long materials are covered by our 5-year full fit-out warranty. If anything breaks, we arrange the repair.
Parts can be reordered for years, even for older systems.
Where can I have holders for long materials fitted?
At Guntro in Lokeren you can have your van equipped for long materials. Advice, measuring and fitting are all done by the same specialist.

Will this system fit in my van?
Yes, in practically every van. We make holders and drawers for long materials to measure for your vehicle, up to and including a long Renault Master L3H3, and for your longest profile.

Do I lose load space because of holders and floor drawers?
No, quite the opposite. Holders use the walls and floor drawers use the space under the load floor, places that are currently wasted. That way you get up to 40% more usable load space from the same van.
For the very longest items there are also roof racks and pipe tubes: extra carrying space without giving up a single centimetre of interior space.
Aren't straps enough to secure long materials?
Straps can work for an occasional trip, but for daily use they fall short. You tie them again on every trip, they do not protect against scratches and one careless fixing is enough for damage or worse.
A fixed, crash-tested system (ECE R17, TÜV GS) secures every length in seconds, always equally well. Safer in an emergency stop, stronger in disputes after damage, and your materials stay undamaged.
