Your workshop comes along
A workplace on the move in your van
A workplace on the move in your van means: an ergonomic mobile workbench with a sturdy worktop and vice, your tools within reach and power on board. You finish the job on the spot, instead of driving back.
Finished while others are still driving
Finish on the spot and gain hours every week
For a single saw cut or one piece of bespoke work, you drive half an hour back to your workshop. There, back, and the customer waits. Those trips are unpaid working hours that nobody wants to see on your invoice.
With a workplace on the road in your van, you finish the job wherever you are. Fold out the ergonomic mobile workbench, clamp your workpiece in the vice and finish it. Ready to use in seconds, and just as quick to stow away again.

Admin without the hassle
Write quotes at a proper worktop, not on the bonnet
Job sheet on your knee, quote on the bonnet, and then the wind catches your papers. Even the best work looks sloppy that way, and in the evening you get to copy everything out again at home.
At a fixed worktop you fill in everything neatly straight away: job sheets, quotes, delivery notes. The customer signs off on the spot and you are properly finished by the evening. It looks professional and saves you admin every week.
Look after your body
Work upright: save your back, your knees and your precision
Stripping cables on your knee, sawing on the load floor, filing on the running board: your body keeps count. For a tradesperson, a worn-out back is not an inconvenience but a threat to your livelihood.
A workbench at working height with a sturdy vice changes that. You clamp your workpiece, work upright and have both hands free. More precise work, fewer mistakes, and you get home fresher in the evening.
Made to measure for your trade
A workplace made to measure for your trade, that grows with your business
A joiner works differently from an electrician or a service technician. That is why we design your workplace made to measure and build it up with modular cabinets and drawers: drawers under the worktop, your tools within reach. Does your work change? The system is modular and expandable.
Choose between sturdy steel or aluminium: the latter is up to 30% lighter and does not rust. So you get more payload, and if you drive electric, also extra range for your electric van.
Did you know… aluminium is up to 30% lighter than steel and does not rust? Less weight means more payload and more range if you drive electric.

Power where there is no socket
Your batteries charge up while you drive
Cordless screwdriver flat, and the nearest socket is a hundred metres away. On a site without a connection, your workplace on the road comes to a standstill, just when you are getting into your stride.
With Clayton Power energy systems you have 230V mains power on board. Your batteries and tools charge while you drive, and you work quietly and without emissions, so also indoors at the customer’s. No generator, no fuel, no fuss.
Folding table or fixed workplace?
Why a loose folding table lets you down
Surely a DIY folding table will do? Until it wobbles at your first saw cut, blows over on site or slides through your load space in an emergency stop. And you have to drag it around every day.
A fixed, built-in workbench is anchored in a certified fit-out (TÜV GS, ECE R17): rock solid while driving, stable while working. It folds up, so your load space stays free. And it is fitted professionally, made to measure.

All your questions answered
Frequently asked questions about a workplace on the road in your van
What does a workplace on the road in your van cost?
The price depends on three factors: the version of your workbench, the size of your van and what you have fitted with it.
- Version: a fixed or foldable workbench, with or without a vice and drawers.
- Size: a compact L1H1 needs a different layout from a large L3H3.
- Extras: a Clayton Power energy system or extra modules and cabinets.
That is why we work with a made-to-measure quote: that way you know exactly where you stand, with no obligation and no duty to buy.
How long does it take to fit a mobile workplace?
We schedule the fitting of a mobile workplace shortly after your vehicle is delivered; a complete fit-out is usually done within two working days.
If a complete fit-out or an energy system is added, we schedule that carefully in advance.
Will I lose load space because of a workbench?
No. The mobile workbench folds up: unfolded you have a full workplace, folded your load space is free again for materials.
On top of that, our fit-out makes use of the walls, the height and the space under the floor. That gets you up to 40% more usable load space out of the same van.
What is included in a mobile workplace like this?
The basis is a sturdy, hard-wearing worktop with a vice for clamping, sawing and fitting work. Underneath come drawers and compartments for your tools, so everything is within reach.
You extend it with what your trade needs: extra modules, work lighting above the worktop or an energy system for power on site. Everything is put together made to measure for your work.
How do I get power on a site without a connection?
With a Clayton Power energy system you have 230V mains power in your load space, with no socket nearby. Your batteries and tools charge while you drive.
The system runs quietly and without emissions, so also indoors and in residential areas. That way your workplace on the road never stands still.
Should I choose steel or aluminium for my mobile workplace?
Strength is not a deciding factor here, because steel and aluminium both meet the required strength. So look at price and weight.
- Steel is the most keenly priced, robust choice.
- Aluminium saves up to 30% in weight and does not rust: your workbench takes up less payload and you get more range out of an electric van.
We help you choose based on your vehicle and your daily tasks.
Can I extend my workplace later?
Yes, our fit-out is built modularly and so can always be extended. If new tools come along or your work changes, you add modules, drawers or an energy system without replacing the existing fit-out.
Many parts simply move with you to your next vehicle when you change van.
What if something breaks on my workbench?
Your mobile workbench too, in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for example, is covered by our 5-year full fit-out warranty. A fault? Then we arrange the repair.
And because parts remain available for years, also for older systems, your workplace on the road simply keeps doing its job.
