Conversion Highlights
Edstrom Racking
The Edstrom racking system was installed throughout the van’s load area, including on the walls, floor, doors, and ceiling. This system maximises storage space, ensuring tools and equipment are securely stored and easily accessible. The racking also features internal ladder brackets.
Eberspacher Warm Water Sink & Hand Cleaner Dispenser
A convenient Eberspacher warm water sink and hand cleaner dispenser were installed to ensure the crew had access to hygiene facilities while working on site.
Fletner Vent
A Fletner roof vent was fitted to ensure proper airflow and ventilation within the van. Positioned on the body roof, the vent helps prevent moisture build-up, maintaining a dry environment for tools and reducing the risk of corrosion.
Poly Lining
Poly lining was applied to the side walls and doors of the van to protect the interior from wear and tear. This robust lining helps to safeguard the vehicle from damage, ensuring longevity and durability in demanding working conditions.
Signwriting
Custom signwriting was added around the body of the van to reflect the business’s branding. The design was strategically placed to ensure maximum visibility on the road, enhancing brand recognition and serving as effective advertising for the repairs and maintenance services offered.
Additional Features
Safety and Durability
All modifications were designed with safety and long-term use in mind. The racking system secures tools during transit, while the ventilation and poly lining protect both the crew and the equipment from environmental factors.
Optimised for Repairs and Maintenance
The vehicle’s layout was specifically tailored to meet the needs of the repairs and maintenance industry. The racking and storage system ensures that tools and parts are well-organised and easy to access, improving workflow efficiency.
This really smart looking Mercedes - Benz Vito conversion demonstrates how a tailored vehicle solution can enhance operational efficiency for a repairs and maintenance business. The bespoke racking, added hygiene features, and professional branding make this van an effective mobile workshop. By providing both functionality and visibility, the conversion supports the customer’s business growth and ensures they have a reliable, professional vehicle to meet their needs on the road.
