Didn't know DeWalt (or any other power tool maker) did racking as well as the standard box fair

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?

what's more to the point is how did that proteus board get in there .

That is NOT an excuse!

Ok you got me. There’s nothing in the box. I use it for my sarnies.

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

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.

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).
