Smarter Storage for a New Era of Trades – Save Weight, Stay Organised, and Go Further
As more tradespeople move to electric vans, the need for lightweight yet strong storage systems has never been greater. That’s why at Custom Solutions UK, we’ve developed a van racking system that delivers both strength and efficiency—without the added weight.
Why Weight Matters for EV Vans
Unlike diesel vans, electric vehicles (EVs) are more sensitive to payload weight. Heavier setups drain battery life faster and reduce overall range. For many trades, that means choosing between tools and distance—unless your racking is built to lighten the load.
Our Solution: 12mm Ply Racking
We’ve standardised our main SETs using 12mm ply—carefully selected for its strength-to-weight ratio. On select models or full custom builds, we also offer premium birch ply for even greater durability with minimal extra weight.
Benefits include:
-
Lower overall vehicle weight = better range and efficiency
-
Faster installs with pre-CNC’d panel systems
-
Strong enough for professional use, including heavy-duty drawers, shelves and tool mounts
-
No compromise on layout or compatibility with brands like Dewalt TSTAK, Milwaukee Packout, or Festool Systainer
Designed by Installers, for Installers
Our systems aren’t just lightweight—they’re smarter. Each layout is crafted with real-world use in mind. Whether you’re a kitchen fitter, bathroom installer, electrician, or general builder, our SETs make the most of every inch of van space while keeping key tools accessible.
Custom Birch Ply Options
For customers who demand the best, we offer birch ply upgrades on custom builds and select SETs. Birch ply provides better edge durability and a sharper finish—ideal for high-end builds or when presentation matters.
Conclusion:
Switching to an EV shouldn’t mean compromising on your mobile workshop. With Custom Solutions UK, you get a racking system that’s lightweight, durable, and built to fit—so you can stay fully equipped without sacrificing range.
Whether you're driving a Vauxhall Vivaro-e, Ford E-Transit, or Renault Kangoo ZE, we’ll help you make every kilometre count.
