Van Racking Ideas

 


It is necessary to have a especially when it comes to guaranteeing the safety of your drivers and other staff. Storage systems can make it much easier for tradespeople to find their equipment and have access to safety equipment when they needed. Custom van shelving provides safety for drivers as well as materials inside the van. Aluminum sheets used for van shelving are super light-weight, making it the number one choice for professional van interiors. But aluminum van shelving systems are somewhat expensive and not always the best option.

IDEA ONE: Clear Out Old Storage and Supplies in Your Van

Go through what you have and assess what you need to keep and remove anything old or unnecessary. Sort what you wish to keep into storage bins. 

IDEA TWO: Arrange your van storage area

Organize your tools and parts into storage that suits your needs such as the Fischer Stor-Pak, Spare Parts Trays or an Ezi-Pak Carry Case. Label your containers and tubs, so it is simple to find and put away your items. Ensure your area is clutter free by designating areas for specific items. You can code these areas by choosing different color storage bins for each particular need.

IDEA THREE: Clean and organize 

Look through your existing and new items, checking that they are still high quality. By ensuring the condition of your storage units are high quality from the start you will be able to identify any signs of early damage.

Hire a refrigerated van fleet to access great service at minimal cost

Image
Vehicle acquisition makes up a huge part of business fleet costs, particularly when that fleet operates within a cold chain. In this blog, we examine why   refrigerated truck rental   holds the key to acquiring high-quality service at a low cost. Why choose refrigerated vans? First thing’s first - which vehicle model is best for your business needs? Needless to say, there is a healthy demand for refrigerated HGVS. However, for many small businesses operating a cold chain, refrigerated vans can pose the best solution. Refrigerated transport is often used for relatively small loads - such as online food shopping, events catering, or fresh produce deliveries to small stores. In each of these situations, a refrigerated van may be the most suitably sized vehicle. On top of this, congestion on the roads is getting worse. Research by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) found that vehicle traffic has increased by 5% since 2000, while the length of the road netwo...

Anheuser-Busch to add 21 BYD electric delivery trucks to California fleets

Image
It seems Anheuser-Busch is set on trying every type of alternative-fuel-powered delivery truck available. In 2017, A-B announced it had ordered 40 electric Tesla semi-trucks. In 2018, A-B said it ordered as many as 800 hydrogen Nikola Motor Company semis. And in 2019, A-B says it is adding 21 battery-electric semis to its distribution fleet, this time from Chinese manufacturer Build Your Dreams (BYD). The introduction of the electric trucks is part of a collaboration between A-B, BYD, the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE), and ENGIE Services U.S. It's called the Zero-Emission Beverage Handling and Distribution at Scale project, and it aims to "demonstrate how to reach zero-emissions across the range of activities at AB distribution facilities with minimal modifications to fleet logistics." A-B claims this will be the largest Class 8 electric truck deployment in North America. The trucks and their charging gear will be used at four...

Refrigerated Vans for Deliveries and Trailers for Storage

Image
Several news articles published this past spring described the good work of a well-known online supermarket that donated refrigerated vans to local food charities. What the company did was both honorable and very helpful to the charities in question. News reports explained that the purpose of the donations was to give food charities the means of delivering more fresh foods – like perishable fruits, vegetables, and meats – to recipients rather than just canned and dry goods. That is a great goal to pursue. Hopefully the food charities are not using the vans for storage as well. In short, refrigerated vans are for deliveries while refrigerated trailers are for storage. There really is no comparison when you are looking at a cold storage solution for more than a couple of hours at a time. Trailers Offer More Capacity One of the first things to note about refrigerated trailers is that, compared to refrigerated van hire, they offer more c...
