Van Racking

[Paul Cockhill]

Hi
I have just bought my first van. A citroen dispatch which is perfect.

However I have no racking for it. Can anyone recommend a good place to get racking or is it best just to build it for yourself.

Many thanks

Paul

Lots of that sort of variant come up.
Got mine for 40 quid.
Twice as big as that

I have a Berlingo and made my own ply racking that way you can customise it to your own requirements and works out a lot cheaper than bought.

Do it yourself. It's not difficult, and as mentioned you can customise it to suit your toolboxes and storage containers.

Try gumtree , it's were mine came from, by the time I made it fit there wasn't much left of the original racking lol

Got mine from local scrapyard, they get all sorts of new and old stuff in just happened that while I went in for a Transit Bulkhead it was fully fitted with racking. Asked how much and told I could take it for free, job done !!

 

[townfanjon]

I could take it for free, !!

Jeeez , they would charge round here lol

Thanks for all your replies, very helpful. I will go to the scrapyard and see if I can find anything so thanks Goz666. Will also look online at ebay and Gumtree

I was in this dilemma many, many years ago.

I thought I would build my own....

Loaded up the van....headed off to work... 3rd speed hump.......CRASH.CRASH. CRASH.

The whole lot collapsed and the back of the van looked like a bomb had gone off.

Which model despatch and which door. ....and how ??

If your on a budget and its not a pristine new van, I would build my own ply racking as I have done a couple times, as you can suit it for yourself.

If it's a brand new van then use ready made Sortimo and Clearboxes. They are more expensive but much better to work from imo.

By the time youve messed with buying wood and made and cut enough racking you could have bought some cheap second hand stuff.

I thought of that and was going to be too expensive and time consuming.

You have a bread and butter van - loads out there.

But each to thier own :thumbup:
