Van fit-out for landscape gardeners

Fitting out a van for landscape gardeners starts with your working day: machines that stay put, fuel and batteries in their place and a load floor that can handle soil and damp, season after season.

  • You roll heavy machines on: via the loading ramp, without straining your back
  • Hedge trimmers and brush cutters secured: no more blades clashing on the road
  • Jerry cans and batteries in their fixed place: nothing slides, nothing leaks
  • A floor that can handle soil and damp: hose it down and you’re done

Your working day, without the frustrations

This is what a working day in the garden looks like with a fit-out made to measure for your trade.

The ride-on mower rolls straight into the load area

You simply drive your machines in over the loading ramp. No need for two people any more, no back dreading the end of the week.

Blades that stay intact

Hedge trimmers and chainsaws each have their own place, secured with tie-down straps. Nothing slides into anything else on the first bend any more.

Fuel and two-stroke mix safely on board

Jerry cans stand upright and secure. No more spilled two-stroke mix over your load floor and no smell of petrol in the cab.

Soil and wet grass? Hose it down and you’re done

Floor and walls are lined: dirt gets no chance to soak into the board. On Friday evening you hose everything clean.

Batteries and chargers in their own compartment

Your battery-powered machines are stored in order, with the chargers beside them. In the morning you grab full batteries instead of loose cables from a crate.

Ready for every season

From mowing to pruning to felling: you reconfigure the modular layout without any demolition work. Your fit-out simply keeps up with you.

Loading without lifting

Drive on instead of lifting: your machines via the loading ramp

Four hours of mowing done, and now that ride-on mower still has to go into the load area. Lifting with two people or wrestling it in on your own: sooner or later your back pays the price.

With a loading ramp you simply drive your ride-on mowers, scarifiers and wheelbarrows inside. The fixed ramp with spring assistance carries up to 1,500 kg, the foldable aluminium version up to 340 kg and you store it in the load area. This is how you tackle loading heavy equipment into your van without lifting a finger.

Drive on, secure, set off.

Did you know… our fixed loading ramp carries up to 1,500 kg? Even your heaviest machine rolls on safely.

Everything secured, even on the first bend

Your machines stand still while you drive

One roundabout too fast and you hear it from the back: the brush cutter hitting the hedge trimmer. Blunt blades, cracked housings and a load area where you pick up the pieces in the evening.

With lashing eyes in the floor, tie-down straps and dividers, every machine is secured in its own place, as it should be when it comes to transporting cargo safely in your van. You also secure your jerry cans upright with them, separate from your hand tools. The complete fit-out is also crash-tested and certified (TÜV GS, ECE R17, CE).

Sharp blades, intact machines, no damage.

Did you know… a well-thought-out fit-out can give you up to 40% more loading space? Space you use for your machines and your green waste.

Dirty work, clean van

A load floor that can handle your trade: soil, grass and damp

Soil in the seams, grass that sticks and damp that soaks into the bare board. By the time you want to trade in your van, the rust is in the load floor and in your trade-in value.

Our floor and wall lining takes care of that: a waterproof 12 mm plywood floor with an anti-slip layer and walls that can take a knock. Hosing down is fine. You can read how to go about it at protecting the load area in your van.

Hose it down on Friday evening, set off fresh on Monday morning.

Did you know… a protected load floor makes the difference when you sell your van on? Scratches and rust come straight off your trade-in value.

Made to measure for your season

A layout that follows your season and grows with your business

Mowing in May, pruning in November, felling in January. Your load area looks different every season. A fixed cabinet that only suits one season gets in the way for the rest of the year.

Fitting out a van for landscape gardeners is bespoke work at Guntro: we start from your machines and your seasons and build the layout in modules. If a crew joins or you change vans, the fit-out simply moves with you: it is bolted in, not welded.

If you choose aluminium, your fit-out weighs up to 30% less than steel: more payload for machines and extra range too. Read how to increase the range of your electric van.

Made to measure today, extended tomorrow.

Frequently asked questions about van fit-out for landscape gardeners

What does a van fit-out cost for a landscape gardener?

A van fit-out for landscape gardeners is made 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 loading ramp with floor lining to a complete layout with racking and drawers.

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 landscape gardener?

The layout follows your season and your working order. If you mostly do maintenance, machine compartments, battery and jerry can spots and a clean separation between dirty and clean material take priority. If you mostly do garden construction, heavy material, the loading ramp and long tools get more room. Because the system is modular, you reconfigure the layout per season without demolition work. We draw it up together with you.

How do I secure hedge trimmers, brush cutters and chainsaws safely?

Every machine gets its own place: secured with tie-down straps to the lashing eyes, separated by dividers, so blades and housings never touch each other. The complete fit-out is crash-tested and certified (TÜV GS, ECE R17, CE): even in an emergency stop, everything stays in place. That keeps your blades sharp and your machines intact.

How do I transport fuel and batteries safely?

We secure jerry cans with petrol or two-stroke mix upright with tie-down straps to the lashing eyes, separate from your hand tools. That way nothing slides, nothing leaks over your load floor and there is no smell of petrol in your cab. For battery-powered machines we provide drawers or compartments where batteries and chargers are stored together in order: in the morning you grab your full batteries and set off.

Can I load a ride-on mower into my van?

Yes, via a loading ramp. The fixed ramp with spring assistance carries up to 1,500 kg and folds away when you’re not using it; the foldable aluminium version carries up to 340 kg and you store it in the load area. You simply drive ride-on mowers, scarifiers and wheelbarrows inside instead of lifting.

How do I keep my load area clean with soil and green waste on board?

With floor and wall lining: a waterproof 12 mm plywood floor with an anti-slip layer and wall panels that can take a knock. Soil, grass and damp get no chance to soak into the bare board, and at the end of the week you simply hose out the load area. That also pays off at resale: no rust, no scratches, no argument about the trade-in value.

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 sites, not even in peak season. 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.

Isn't building a rack myself cheaper?

In the short term, yes, but a wooden DIY build soaks up damp, oil and petrol and is not anchored. You know what a brush cutter weighs: in an emergency stop, a loose cabinet full of machines shoots forward, straight into your bulkhead. Our fit-out is crash-tested and certified (TÜV GS, ECE R17, CE), can handle dirt and damp and lasts as long as the van does. If you fit out your van seriously as a landscape gardener, you earn that difference back in time, safety and resale value.

Is a van fit-out for landscape gardeners different from one for other trades?

Yes. Fitting out a van for landscape gardeners is about heavy, dirty work: machines you roll on instead of lift, fuel and batteries that are securely fastened and a load area that can handle soil and damp.

On top of that, your load changes with the seasons, so the layout has to be able to change too. We design it in modules, made to measure for your machines and your season.
