While emphasis usually lies on skills and expertise to make an electrical contractor successful, effective business management through organization is paramount to any tradesperson’s profit. Disorganization in a work van can lead to wasted time, lost inventory and damage to your tools and van, resulting in higher maintenance costs and a lower resale value of the vehicle. A neat and organized van racking system can maximize efficiency and storage and minimize lost inventory and unnecessary costs. bott Smartvan modulo3 van shelving creates an organized mobile workshop that takes your business’ efficiency to the next level.

So how does van shelving do this?

1. Saves Time: A disorganized van can be a stick in the efficiency wheel. Finding tools in the mess takes longer and the tradesperson needs to make more trips to and from the van, making the job take longer, and delaying the next job. With bott Smartvan modulo3 van storage, all tools have a secure place, can be labeled, and are easily within reach.
   
2. Maximizes space: Tools that are piled or stacked on the floor of a cargo area completely miss out on the full storage capabilities of a van. Even with some shelving solutions, you sacrifice middle aisle storage and accessibility for shelf space. This can result in more trips back and forth to the job site or needing additional storage like a trailer. modulo3 maximizes the full length of your van’s cargo space, contours to the walls of the van, and leaves enough space in the center to store a full-sized pallet.
   
3. Minimizes lost inventory: When the back of your van is in disarray, not only is it hard to find your tools, but consumables and hardware can be lost in the van and on the job site as well. The bott Smartvan modulo3 van storage system incorporates a system of shelves with dividers, bottBoxes and Systainer³ storage cases that keep hardware and consumables organized and secure so they can’t fall behind the racking or get misplaced with other tools or on the job site.
   
4. Saves on costs: When tools are placed in the back of a van without racking, it can cause damage to the van’s floor and walls and to the tools themselves during transit. This can result in more frequent maintenance and replacements and a lower resale value of the vehicle itself. With proper racking like modulo3, every tool has a home. Even larger, bulkier tools like compressors and table saws can be safely secured with lashing rails and tie-down straps, so nothing is moving around in the back during transit, protecting both the tools and the van.
