Back to Work - What you Need on your Work Van
Mt
Now the New Year has arrived we all know it is time to go back to work and normality! So, dust off your vans and make sure you and your van are completely prepared for work!
We have decided to deconstruct the ideal work van to give you an insight into what we believe every work van should have fitted, to make sure using your van for work every day is as easy as possible.
Roof Rack System
Fitting a roof rack system to your van gives you multiple benefits; they let you gain more from your van by allowing you to carry longer and heavier loads, whilst freeing up space in your load area!
Choosing the correct roof rack system for your van can be difficult as there are so many variations to choose from, read our roof rack and roof bar guide to help you choose the right one for you.
All of our roof rack systems are tailored to vehicle specifics for an easy and secure fit. We sell roof racks or bars from two leading manufacturers for commercial vehicles, Van Guard Accessories and Rhino Products.
To go with your roof rack system, we have a range of roof rack accessories including Ladder Clamps, Load Stops, Extension Brackets, Beacon Brackets, Eye Bolts, Ratchet Straps and Roof Platforms. All these accessories ensure you can tailor your roof rack system to your exact working needs.
Rear Roller
A rear roller is essential for anyone with a roof rack system, it allows you to load ladders and materials onto your roof bars with ease. Fitting a rear roller will save you a lot of time when you’re at work, no matter what weather condition, you’ll wonder why you didn’t have a rear roller sooner!
You’ll be happy to hear that any of our Rhino or Van Guard rear rollers require no drilling to fit.
Pipe Tubes
Van Theft has been on the rise year on year, this includes the theft of materials and tools from any van. Fitting a pipe tube on your van roof rack reduces the risk of your materials being stolen. All of our pipe tubes are lockable and available in two lengths, 2m or 3m. Your materials can easily be damaged in bad weather conditions, but an aluminium pipe tube will ensure your materials are protected from the elements.
Rear Steps
A lot of our customers take great pride in the appearance of their van, and why wouldn’t you? The last thing anyone wants is to scratch or bump their vehicle whilst reversing or parking, so fit a rear step to prevent the risk.
We have a huge range of rear steps from Rhino Products, we even have rear steps with reverse sensors! Rear steps help you to reverse and park safely as well as allowing you to easily get in and out of your van when loading and unloading items.
Tool Storage
Start the new year off right by keeping your van organised, this includes all your tools. Having some tool storage in your load area will make your workday easier, as you will be able to find all tools easily! We have different aluminium and plywood tool racking and boxes of different lengths, widths and shelf variations available for all vans.
We also have tool storage boxes available from Van Guard, which are lockable so your tools are protected from theft. They are available in different sizes to ensure we have a box for every van!

If you use your van for work and you are in and out of different work sites or if you park your van on main roads overnight or throughout the day, you will need extra security on your van. We have the perfect van locks for any van, our Milenco van locks can be fitted to your rear or sliding doors to prevent van or tool theft and they act as a visual deterrent to thieves too.
Seat Covers
Seat Covers are perfect for ensuring your van seats are kept in the best condition so your van can keep its value. Any work van will need a set of seat covers to protect from mud, dust, oil and general grime. Our seat covers are tailored to your vehicle and are 100% waterproof and machine washable making them last for years!
They are available in a range of different colours so you can choose the colour perfect for your van or just your personal preference. And not forgetting that our seat covers allow for all seat functionality including adjusters, armrests, folding seats and central work trays.
Floor Mats
Similar to our seat covers, you will need a set of floor mats to protect your van footwells from all the dirt you may gather on your work boots.
Our tailored van floor mats are available in carpet, premium carpet, rubber and heavy-duty rubber. They come complete with a water-resistant anti-slip backing to prevent unwanted movement while you’re driving. Don’t forget to choose your custom colour stitched edge too!
We hope this helps to get you and your van ready to go back to work, these products are the essentials every van should have!
