Fitting out a van for joiners
Fitting out a van for joiners starts with your working day: long mouldings and skirting boards flat and protected, your hardware sorted by type and size and your machines secured shock-free, from installation to installation.
Recognise this?
Your working day, without the frustrations
This is what a day looks like with a fit-out made to measure for your trade.
Long mouldings flat and protected
Skirting boards and mouldings slide into a floor drawer under your load floor. Not a scratch on them, and your entire load floor stays free.
Every piece of hardware found straight away
Hinges, handles and screws sorted by type and size. You grab the right one without turning over a box first.
Finished bespoke work arrives intact
Your cupboards and doors are strapped down during the drive. What leaves lacquered arrives lacquered.
A workbench where you stand
Trimming a moulding or adjusting a hinge can be done on site: the folding workbench in your load space is always ready.
Off to a flying start every morning
Everything has its fixed place, so loading is a matter of minutes. You get that time back every day.
Your stock at a glance
One look in your drawers and you know which screws and which hardware to reorder. Never buy double again.
Long materials, transported flat
Mouldings and skirting boards without scratches, flat under your load floor
A three-metre moulding lying diagonally across your entire load space arrives at the customer damaged. All sorts of things slide against it on the way, and to get at it you first have to empty half the load space.
In a floor drawer under your load floor, long mouldings, skirting boards and profiles lie flat and protected. You slide the drawer out and take what you need, without moving a single panel. That is how storing long materials in your van is meant to work.
In flat, out flawless.
Did you know… a floor drawer carries up to 80 kg and your load floor stays completely free? You simply load your panels on top.
Never search for hardware again
Every hinge and every handle found in seconds
Nothing is as frustrating as a cupboard door that hangs open because that one hinge is missing. With loose boxes and bags, you only see what didn’t come along once you’re on site. And then it’s another trip to the shop, while your customer stands waiting.
In sliding drawers with divider trays, your hardware gets a fixed place: hinges by type, handles by model, screws by size. The drawers slide fully out, even when fully loaded, so you see everything at a glance. What is almost out, you top up in the evening in your workshop. That is how organising your tools in your van should work.
Everything sorted, nothing bought twice.
Did you know… tradespeople with our fit-out save up to 30 minutes per working day? Time you now lose searching and making extra trips.
Your machines protected, your workbench along
Your machines secured shock-free, and a workbench where you stand
A mitre saw that tips over in a bend is more than a dent: it is a machine you have to recalibrate, or replace. And for that one piece of moulding that is too long, you end up sawing outside on two trestles.
In our fit-out every machine travels in its own compartment: secured shock-free, in line with the rules on carrying loads safely in your van. And with a folding workbench you turn your load space into a workplace on the road in your van: trimming, adjusting and fitting where you stand.
Arrive, unfold, finish.
Did you know… the entire fit-out is crash-tested to ECE R17? Even your heaviest machine stays put in an emergency stop.
Made to measure for your work sequence
A layout that follows your working day and grows with your business
Fitting a walk-in wardrobe today, windows tomorrow, a complete kitchen the day after. No two joiners work the same way. A standard cupboard that half fits doesn’t really fit at all.
Fitting out a van for joiners is bespoke work at Guntro: we start from your work sequence and your materials and build the layout in modules. If you take on an employee or buy a new van, you expand or the fit-out simply moves with you.
If you choose aluminium, your fit-out weighs up to 30% less than steel: more payload for your panels and extra range. Read how to increase the range of your electric van.
Made to measure today, extended tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions about fitting out a van for joiners
What does a van fit-out for a joiner cost?
Fitting out a van for joiners is done to measure, so the price depends on three factors: the size of your van, your choice of material and the number of modules.
- Size: a compact city van needs fewer modules than a large L3H3.
- Material: steel is the cheapest option, aluminium is up to 30% lighter.
- Composition: from a basic set with a floor drawer and a few sorting drawers to a complete workshop on wheels, workbench included.
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.
Which layout suits my work as a joiner?
The layout follows your working order: what you need at every job comes first and within easy reach. If you mostly fit bespoke cabinets and interiors, you keep the load floor free for finished pieces and go for lashing rails and wall protection. If you mostly do windows, doors and finishing, a floor drawer for mouldings, sorting drawers for fittings and an on-board workbench take priority. We draw up the layout together with you, based on what has to go with you every day.
How do I transport long mouldings and skirting boards without damage?
In a floor drawer under your load floor: long mouldings, skirting boards and profiles lie flat, protected and separate from the rest of your load. Such a drawer carries up to 80 kg and you lose no loading space, because you simply load your boards and boxes on top of it. For pieces longer than your load area, choose a roof rack with secure lashing points.
How do I transport finished cabinets and doors safely?
With lashing rails along the floor and wall and tie-down straps, you secure your finished pieces firmly, so nothing slides or topples over on the road. Wall panels protect your lacquered surfaces from scratches during the journey. The complete fit-out is crash-tested and certified (TÜV GS, ECE R17, CE): even in an emergency stop, everything stays in place.
Can I expand the fit-out if I take on an employee?
Yes. The system is modular: you add drawers, cabinets or holders later without replacing the existing fit-out. If a second van joins your fleet, you fit it out identically. That way your employee finds everything straight away and the quality of the work stays the same, whoever is driving.
How long does the fit-out take to install?
We fit a standard fit-out quickly; a complete fit-out is usually ready within two working days. We schedule the installation shortly after your van is delivered. That way you don’t miss any jobs. Every fit-out also comes with a 5-year full fit-out warranty.
Will a fit-out fit my model of van?
Yes. We have fitting plans for almost every make and model, from a compact city van to a large L3H3. The modules are anchored on the original mounting points of your vehicle, so a leased van is fine too. Together with you, we look at what fits in your model.
I work with wood myself: can’t I just build my own fit-out?
Nobody is better placed than you to build a solid rack, but a wooden DIY build is not anchored and not crash-tested. In an emergency stop, a loose cabinet full of machines shoots forward, straight into your bulkhead. Our fit-out is certified (TÜV GS, ECE R17, CE), weighs up to 30% less in aluminium than your own plywood cabinet and lasts as long as the van does. If you fit out your van seriously as a joiner, you earn that difference back in time, safety and resale value.
Is a van fit-out for joiners different from one for other trades?
Yes. A van fit-out for joiners is all about long materials, delicate finished bespoke work and machines that can’t take a knock. That’s why the layout focuses on a floor drawer for mouldings and skirting boards, lashing rails for your cabinets and doors, and fixed compartments for your machines.
On top of that, there is often a fold-down workbench, so you can trim and adjust on site. We design the layout around your working order.
