"The racking has changed the way I store items in my van in a massive way. I am generally more organised and work tidier. I know where every nut, bolt and washer is and can get to items a lot quicker."

When deciding to launch our latest innovation in van racking, the bott modulo3 range, we knew we wanted honest feedback from the tradespeople that use it. Glen Wakeling is a plumbing and heating engineer who used the previous generation of bott modulo. He was impressed with how easy it is to install the shelves and cases in our latest range.

 

 

"What is your trade and the make/model of your van?"

 

"Plumbing & Heating Egineer, VW T6 SWB."

 

"How long have you had bott Smartvan racking?"

 

"I have had bott Smartvan racking for 2-3 years."

 

"What type of van racking did you have before bott Smartvan?"

 

"Before the bott modulo3 I had the bott modulo2."

 

"How has professional van racking changed the way you work?"

 

"The racking has changed the way I store items in my van in a massive way. I am generally more organised and work tidier. I know where every nut, bolt and washer is and can get to items a lot quicker. With all the tools being organised on the side walls and under the half deck, this leaves lots of floor space to get work materials in, such as boilers, flues, pumps etc. We also get so many comments from customers saying how professional our vans look with racking installed and we have had some asking for tours around the van to see how we work. Equally we have had other trades wanting to have a look round too as they are impressed."

 

"What is your favourite feature or accessory of bott Smartvan van racking?"

 

"What I love most about the racking is the storage cases. I have always struggled to find a decent solution to store my many different sized cases and keep them safely stowed away, without them rattling or sliding around. The cases being on the racks just keep things looking perfect all of the time."

 

"How is bott modulo3 different to previous bott Smartvan racking in your opinion?"

 

"bott modulo3 has been a huge step forward with regards to the shelf and case installation time and how easy they are to put in. The self-tappers are a very quick and easy way of getting your tools in and organised. I have already ordered a few more bits to tweak my design and it will take no time at all to change things around. Also having a different size split in the case size now helps as we have a larger storage capacity than previous cases. The Systainers are amazing quality and I cannot wait to get the trolley to make my loading and unloading time to the van even shorter."
