5 van racking ideas for carpenters

bott Smartvan offers loads of options and more often than not, the best racking solution for you, depends on the tools you carry and the items you transport, with that said, here are some customer examples;

 

 

With bott Smartvan you don't always have to go for EVERYTHING at the start, you can build it up until you have achieved the perfect set-up for you.

You can do as much or as little as you need to get started. You can then learn and develop your kit over time and make sure that the system is working for you and for the tools that you carry. A few small adjustments and tweaks might be needed to make it ‘just so’ but with bott modulo3 and the flexibility that it comes with this is always possible. 

As your job and tools change with the times, so can your van racking, this is one of the main benefits of our bott modulo3 range, its post-purchase flexibility. 

Below we have included a few design ideas as well as the description to each module for you to hopefully get some ideas and inspiration and to see how the above customer images may have started out before fitment.
