Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

to rot with at the necessary equipment, it makes sense to order your vehicle complete with racking.

Bott has teamed up with Mercedes-Benz to offer a one-stop shop for operators that want to order their vehicles complete with racking systems, avoiding the need to speak to, and co-ordinate, two suppliers.

Simon Wood from M-B says: "In working with Bott we are able to reduce the delivery time of a new vehicle that also requires a racking system for its forthcoming role. We deliver the vehicle from the port to Bott, with the customer having previously chosen their required storage system with the racking company.

"Once the racking is fitted, the vehicle is delivered onto the Mercedes dealership for PDI and then to the customer, ready to go to work."

Available to fit both Vito (pictured here) and Sprinter, the Normline range includes drawers, lockers and service cases as well as various types of shelving. All these elements can be tailored to suit the customer's needs with accessories including tray dividers, drawer matting and divider kits (fixed and sliding), vices, ratchet straps and even skincare systems.

As well as standard shelving configurations Bott also offers a bespoke service to cater for individual needs as well as a project management service, which can include organising vehicle movements and the design and installation of electrical equipment. As a result the range is suitable for everyone from individual tradesmen to national service fleets.

Our test vehicle came equipped with three main units incorporating 14 drawers of varying sizes, nine topdrawer cubbies, two service case drawers (which were particularly well designed) and two rows of trays. There was also a pull-out vice and workbench.

Construction is a mix of steel and aluminium and it all felt commendably solid. The overall fit and f inish was also excellent and space utilisation was about as efficient as it gets.

Price is on application.
