It's not technically racking, but can very easily be made into it with a little adaptation.
It was originally designed as static racking for garages and stores and is compatible with the toughsystem boxes.
I was going to do a before and after, but I was embarrassed at how messy it was.... so you get an empty and loaded pic.

The under floor storage is a great idea. @D Skelton
I’ve not got a big van, and as you can see by day to day tools:-

Not much room for stock or specialist tools.
Oh how did that get there?

I'm not an electrician, and my "rack" is just a small workshop at the back of my self build motorhome but I think it's on topic, especially given the discussion on the efficient use of space

He’s taking it back for a refund ?what's more to the point is how did that proteus board get in there .
So mine is no where near as professional and fancy as some on here, but I'll put some pics up just to show it's possible to work out of a SWB 6 seat van with a bit of organisation.
I'm the only driver in our household and we only have a single driveway so no point in more vehicles. Must be 6 seat though to cart the fmaily round in. Also a LWB would not fit on our driveway so SWB it is
All my day to day stock lives in the 4 crates under the raised floor, and short steps and a couple more crates live behind the rear seat. Ladders, long steps, and lengths go on the roof.

All I'll say is that Asda home delivery is a convenient thing, in many ways.i see i'm not the only one to have nicked a few bread trays from the local convenience store.
same withping glasses with brewer's logo. pay almost £4 for a beer, you've paid for the glass as well. (need a bigger kitchen cupboard).
