• BOTT
No body drilling is necessary with Bolt's latest glass and window racking system.
The galvanised rack, which has rubber extrusions to protect the glass on load-bearing areas, can easily be removed when the extra vehicle width is a problem. It is also easily interchanged with other vans, provided they have the proper mountings. An inner glass rail is also offered.
Bott also has a new Foldaway ramp that mounts behind the rear doors and has gas strut assistance with a swivel stowage option.
• BRI-STOR
Bri-Stor's latest Eat'Load roof-mounted ladder rack will be on cfisplay at next month's CV Show. It's a user-friendly frame system for carrying ladders on vans with both standard and highsided roofs.
Almost like a loft ladder, it features a double-locking mechanism with a special rod that enables the ladder to be released and then pulled down over the rear. When not needed it can easily be stowed, raised and locked into position for transit.
Also on show will be its Euro-Stor system, which is aimed at customers who want to create their own bespoke designs for their van interiors, putting the drawers, cupboards, tools and fittings where they are needed and in The configuration they want Eni-Star has also developed the Fur:Clean hot water heater and sink unit,
• H-MODUL
Having recently equipped a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 412D van for BBC's Ground Force team, H-Modul has now developed new aluminium components, some with an anodised finish, for its racking systems to Ore operators a little extra payload.
They include shelving, drop-down fronts, shelf dividers and tool boards, many of
which can be retro-fitted
to existing systems. In addition, drawers now have secure locking, flush handles and ball-bearing runners.
H-Modul also has a rather neat telescopic aluminium ladder that can be extended from 730mm to 3.5m.
• SORTIMO
Sortimo's well-known in-vehicle storage and racking systems are of lightweight steel, but it also offers a large range of accessories, from hazard lights to advertising boards for roof ladder racks.
This also includes Soboflex wail and ply floor lining, with its antislip coating and choice of captive nut location or lashing rings.
Its Kinetics moulded hand-wash unit is rather neat, with a fold-up basin and 8.5litre hot/cold supply, while the airtime, ven tilation system is absolutely necessary for gas-carrying vans.
So, too, is the extending Caddy trolley, which can be used as a three-wheeled trolley or a normal case carrier. With the wheels folded, it just lies flat on the floor io transit.
