Quick Tips to configure your van for efficient work flow.

2. Protect yourself and your people with a rated mesh barrier or sealed partition.

Storage

5. Prioritise & Group similar items eg. tools & equipment in one area, consumables and inventory in another. Establish optimum stock and consumable quantities so that the space remains organised.

6. Lead hooks, internal ladder holders, and cable reel holders are available.

Function
