Van fit-out for couriers

Fitting out a van for couriers is done to measure, so the price depends on three factors: the size of your van, your choice of material and the number of racks and modules.

• Size: a city van needs fewer racks than a large L3H3.
• Material: steel is the cheapest option, aluminium is up to 30% lighter.
• Configuration: from a basic set of fold-down racks to a complete layout with load securing and lining.

That is why we work with a made-to-measure quote, free and with no obligation: that way you know exactly where you stand. We schedule the fitting shortly after your van is delivered, so you never miss a round.

The layout follows your round: if you drive city rounds with hundreds of small parcels, you get lots of shelves and fine sorting; if you drive regional rounds with larger boxes, you keep more floor space and work with fewer, sturdier levels. Together with you we look at your volumes and your loading rhythm and draw up the layout around them.

In seconds per rack: you release the locking pin with one hand, without tools. In a minute your whole load space is flat. The fold-down racking comes in 7 lengths, and shelves at the same height form one continuous surface that long boxes fit on too.

The shelves have raised edges and a slightly sloping surface, so boxes stay in place while you drive. You secure larger or heavier items with straps and dividers. The whole fit-out is also crash-tested and certified (TÜV GS, ECE R17, CE): everything stays put even in an emergency stop.

Yes. You fold the racking shut on one or both sides and immediately have a flat load space over the full length. You secure the large item with straps to the lashing eyes in the floor. The next day you fold the racking open again and simply do your parcel round.

As a courier your van is left unattended dozens of times a day, so that is a fair concern. Tools are stored securely with safety stops, so nothing slides about while you drive. Against break-ins you fit an extra lock on your rear door and your side sliding door, with its own cylinder separate from your van key. For a courier a slam lock is usually the right choice: it locks by itself as soon as you slam the door, so you can’t forget it. Read how to secure your van.

Yes. We have fitting plans for almost every make and model, from L1H1 to L3H3. The folding racking is made for the common courier vans such as the Ducato, Master, Crafter, Transit and Sprinter. Everything is anchored to the original mounting points of your vehicle, so a lease van works too.

Yes. The fit-out is bolted, not welded: it is removed and refitted in your next van without touching the structure of the vehicle. For couriers who swap lease vans every few years, that means: invest once, use it across several vans.

In the short term, yes, but a home-built wooden rack is heavy, splinters and is not anchored. You drive thousands of kilometres a week, often in city traffic full of emergency stops: a loose wooden rack full of parcels then shoots forward, straight into your bulkhead. Our fit-out is crash-tested and certified (TÜV GS, ECE R17, CE), folds open when you want it to and moves with you to your next van. Anyone who takes fitting out a van for couriers seriously earns that difference back on every round.

Yes. Fitting out a van for couriers is not about a workshop on wheels, but about throughput: loading quickly, finding every parcel straight away and a load space that can be arranged differently every day.

That is why folding racking is central: open for hundreds of parcels, shut for one large item. On top of that come load securing and a hard-wearing lining, because no van gets more wear and tear than a courier’s.
