Cable storage/racking for vans

Hi All

I'm getting ready to rack my van out soon and wondered if any of you had any ideas of the best cable storage solutions for vans.

Thank you all in advance

My cable storage solution is a big shelf and a storage box.

Depends what van you have got?

If your budget is tight take a look at "flea bay" for Ex-British Gas Van racking, I have one of their Caddy's with it fitted, here are a few links for a start:-

I've tried several ideas but nothing's ever perfect. I think partly because a full roll,of cable is so heavy and whatever solution it uses up so much space. I tried using rackatiers with metal conduit. Metal,conduit cut to size and stretched across the width of the van from my racking on each side. Neither was great so in the end I just dumped it all in a large supermarket delivery tub! Sod's law dictates that the roll of cable you want is always at the bottom!

There is a thread in the arms on this, if your eligible ask for access.

Two ton Telectrix from Staffordshire and he drove the Bakers van.

You could hear the hoof beats pound as they raced across the ground, And the clatter of the wheels as they spun 'round and 'round. And he galloped into market street, his Megger upon his chest, His name was Telectrix and he did the fastest EICR in the west.

But Telectrix had a rival, an evil looking man, called Part P Pete from Northampton way and he drove a shiny van.

He likes to post his videos
But his favourite submission
Is asking all new posters
Are you an electrician.

Dave OCD had a tidy van.
It was his pride and joy,
But 2 Ton Tess, the farmer's wife,
She had an evil ploy.
For being spurned,
Her mind had turned,
She had her wicked way.
She filled his van with evil turds.
