I'd buy this as a kit i.e. precut pieces, if it were sold and spend a weekend screwing it together. like a beautiful organization idea kit but heavy duty for my transit!
Wow that work van is so impressively organized.
love the slideout storage in back. mine then doubles as a compound miter saw setup when temp plywood is added & supported by folddown adjustable telescoping legs on end (much like adjustable shower rod
One of the best storage layouts inside a work van I have ever seen!
Great job.
NOpe... Van is tall enough to walk in... One could even select the tallest van for such a setup. But everything is up to how the owner wants it.
Ok I’m in love with this design!!!!! So organized!
I know an old trim carpenter that would love a van like that....
Very nice Frank.
Epic 🤯
For the amount of storage space, the width between the 2 sides is amazing: so much cargo area! The contouring of every shelf to the profile is something usually only an owner/builder would take the time to do... and the pic of underfloor storage (7:40) is the best layout I've seen. The attention to detail throughout this entire build is mind-blowingly-impressive. 👍👍
It may not be cheap... but there is a huge value, especially using all the storage over the long time.
I need help on mine. Can you guys help out?
Wow, that’s quite unique design space for work van. Very impressive concept man!👍🏻
Wow that is so professional and organized I wish all company vehicles were build like that so you can just bring your tools and yourself for work
Wow this is probably the most organized work van I have ever seen great job.
Glad you liked it!
@@socinc5749 looks great how much to outfit my transit van?
@@BuzzElectricLlc Hello Buzz, Where do you live? Maybe you can email me at Frankmali17@yahoo.com so we can discuss some details.
The cost would be comparable or a bit less, to what the factory companies charge. Of course the floor, or other modules would be customized to your needs.
Wow I’m beyond impressed! Great job guys. Definitely very beautiful and functional
Coolest van I’ve ever seen! You should build me one! 👍
Thank you! Appreacite the detail very much. The floor system is awesome.
thank you for taking the time to make the video and showing us.
Great job. You guys should look into helping the van life market. The need for well designed storage is exactly the same. I’m building out a Ford e350 as a camper. I would buy a set of plans if you had em.
One sweet setup! Nice work !
Really nice, clean built storage!
One of the best parts is that there is a lot of cargo storage and a lot of ways to strap it down.
this is amazing usage of space well done
Hey buddy that’s amazing shelf that you did there thanks for sharing
thank you... It involved a lot of R&D but turned out great
A video like this is what I was looking for. Thank you very much for this video since my work van is like this
Great job! Thx for sharing
I love this design. I really need to take time of to rebuild my VW Crafter. 👊
It was a lot of planning and thinking, and drawing up ideas... Calculating for best balance... but it was SUPER worth It
@@Frankmali17 what is the cost of this set up if you where to delivered/mailed to me?
love the design really well thought out with masses off storage without taking up to much space
Genial! Bah increíble!
Gracias por compartir tus ideas!
Very nice professional build out.
Some brilliant ideas here buddy, I'll be coming back for inspiration when I have a van of my own 👍
Wow I just love that van and I love the cool things you did in it I will be looking for more of video like this..
Lots of R&D and planning and work...but the results are superb as you can see
Beautiful truck! Love the inside storage cabinets. The only thing is the floor needs rubber on it. After a few jobs walking in and out of the truck after rain/snow/mud that wood gonna get destroyed.
im only an apprentice carpenter at the moment but cant wait to buy a van and fit it out like this. nice job!
So how is your journey going so far?
Fantastic work. Would love to see more
Stay tuned
Great job I will use this idea for my new van tank you!!
I wish I lived in Florida I'd have this done in a heart beat
Obviously, whoever thumbs down this, has no job and lives in mommy’s basement and is a loser ..and plays hello kitty all day and isn’t a real man… because a real man appreciates this immensely
Thanks for the support. Each vehicle can be used and modified for the intended purposes of the owner.. This is an investment that will keep tools and supplies safe and well organized... making the craftsman more effective and efficient.
what a great design , i looking to get my van completly refitted you really have given some inspiration , shame i in the uk
I'm sure you can apply it in some ways to your vehicle... good luck
Nice work Frank
nice project, thanks for sharing
Well done!
Good Stuff Son! 🤟
Big thumbs up. I just bought a ProMaster and will be stealing a lot of your good ideas.
Looks Amazing 💯
Wish my boss was this organized 😂.
Very good storage system Very helpful to do my own van just purchase thank
Great job mate 👍🏻
super clean
I usually never give thumbs up, but you won it broth. Excellent job. Your organization is amazing. Even space for aids.
Nice job thanks.
Great job 👍
Very good video. I have to build something similar for a decorator. Some very good tips
Top notch work!
Good job, I just ordered a transsit 250
I got a idea that you could add to your van , get rid of them 4 power cords and replace them with 4 retractable power cord reels 60 foot 12/3 guage.
Mount each retractable cord reel onto a portable base so you can use it anywhere.
You could run them all inline for a total of 240 feet length
Also add a power strip outlet to the end with like at least 6 outlets
That’s an amazing set up brother. I’m trying to figure out what to do with mine. I got 2021 high roof extended cargo van. I do renovations as well and with that I have way to much of different tools
Very nice build
Top job👌
Nicest work van storage system I have ever seen
It was definitely planned and thought out.. not an accident :)
Well done 💯🎯
Super efficient i will propose this to my boss
Great job
Buen trabajo me gusto mucho muy bien organizado👍
This is great. I outfited my trailer, then I did a few for other trades. But only a few. Never figured out how to market this unique ability to the right people. I set everything I make for the most part to be modular. Needs change. I really loved doing it. I’d build everything off sight and come to them and do the install. Once on their job sight. I wanted to do vans for the challenge and when I saw all that unused space behind those metal space wasters, I knew I could do better for their needs. Once I built some interlocking small totes for an electrician’s supply truck. Put his logos under the finish. That was a fun project. How have you marketed yourself for this?
It is hard to market for DIYers... but I am considering making more of these.. for the right customer :)
Thank you. Is there a video showing the initial steps and methods of how to best attach the shelving units to the van itself? I have a ‘23 Ford Transit medium roof extended version and would love a better understanding of attachment. BTW I’m actually picking up my van tomorrow and very excited to replace and upgrade my old workhorse.
Good job! My only comment is that perhaps you could have used a lighter ply in many places which would reduce weight and therefore fuel costs.
Liked before even watching the inside of van lol
This is my fantasy rig..
Nice mobile workshop. I started to make one but have not had the time to finish it. Mine is a trailer.
I like this
You are the best guy !!!!!
The Design takes a lot of labor and material.. but Works out Great.
It was a lot of planning and thinking, and drawing up ideas... Calculating for best balance... but it was SUPER worth It
My only comments would be using the inside of the back doors for convenient storage and using the slide outs to convert into an instant mobile workshop.
nice, i am thinking of doing the same to my car. it's a vauxhall Zafira
I'm dreaming of Lean van storage like this in my near future
Lots of R&D and planning and work...but the results are superb as you can see
Inspiring.
Excellent video and excellent idea, very good work, I have one of those vans, would it be possible to have the graphic designs that you made to base me on them?
que hermoso lo hicistes ''''' quedo calidad
Do you sell these setups? Can you ship the vertical parts? I like that yours follow the curve of the van. I could do it; but it would take me longer than I’d like.
I love everything it is a very nice shelving system i just wish that the space in the middle instead of 41 would be 48 so you can fit plywood or drywall
You can fit about 60" wide.. standing on its side...
We had that planned in advance 🙂
Very organized bro. Keep up the great work. Kind of long video tho.
Could u please do more videos of jobs u are doing or going to do, thank you.
I'm looking to get one with shelfs and a spot for a composting toilet, converted left hand drive to right hand drive so I can deliver mail and packages as a rural carrier.
I put a raised floor in my own van but I use for my materials, sheet goods.
The Floor storage is flexible.. In future designs.. we can adjust the height of the floor
VERY NICE ORGANISATION SISTEM. SINCE YOU GUYS MADE IT WITH THE MC SOFT WARE, CAN YOU PROVIDE A CUT OUT ITEMS LIST FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO BUILD ONE
Whats with the caps
@@BlueSquad00 LMAO. My old man used to type solely in ALL CAPS. He doesn’t do that anymore. He’s dead.
Looks good ! I have upfit promaster. I posted commemt other place, Just a guestion about other bigger items. I see you can carry some 1x2,3,4 pine, 2x4 stud & p.t.. Now .. ur cut 1\2", 3\8" drywall, 3\4"& 1\2" ply? Lastly where is the dog and drop cloth compartment?
I can fit in tire sheets of 4x8 drywall and plywood no problem. There are some recesses in the sheet metal that I used to store the tarps and drop cloths. The compartments below the floor accommodate up to 100 in long pieces of two being or wood or things up to five inches in diameter
This set up is amazing. So much storage yet impressively organized. I have a question though. In terms of weight, how does it compare to metal racks? I've heard it is way heavier than metal and it's too much weight even before storing all your tools.
Hey... it's probably 1000 pounds... well under the vehicle capacity.. and obviously a much much better storage setup.
Where are you guys located? I just bought a brand new transit cargo van and I would like a very similar set up. I live in Palm Beach County Florida
We never have time to keep organized. Is that not the truth. No sooner do I get organized that we end up "Jumping on the next job" Demo, Framing, Plumbing, Electrical, Back to carpentry, Back to electrical some roof and tin work. That is jumping. Next thing you know you used over 50 tools for the day. Not including materials. Now keep that organized.
Exactly
So you’re saying you like chaos.
Truth........but I've learned to start cleaning up 30 min earlier (in most cases) to put everything back where it should go. That's what the weekends are for when your self employed.
@@bryblanch sucks
I'm the type to clean and put away as I go.. Too many lost tools 😂
Shit, My van looks like a crew of blind 3 yr.olds organized it... Great Job.
Fantastic, Great ideas! Can I have the plan ?
thanks for sharing. i have a transit and would like to do the same. how much will it cost?
Im a Handyman, and i was going to get one of these, but i need to carry a 24' ladder and maybe a 32' ladder, and i dont see how to carry both of these on top bcus its to tall, to get to the top of the van, unless you know of a way?
I like it nice , I run to this when I tried to find locksmith van shelving, the only thing I’m concerning is weight, how much weight all these add to the car , I like my van to be as light as possible
All shelving can add weight.. these vans have plenty of cargo carrying capacity, more with heavier models.
que sonho
one could use the inside roof to store some batteries in holders(maybe even hook up a speed charger using a power inverter to change the car 12 volts into 230 volts), if such person has manny battery powered tools, it certainly would make even more use of space, of course at thte cost of some headroom
While not covered in this video... there is an extra battery... circuit protection.. and a 5000w inverter installed in such a van.
Also.. there is some wiring run.. and an outlet on the inside.. as well as a waterproof outlet on the underside near the back.
Unlimited power anywhere on-site repairs.
Nice, but you should put a small lip so nothing can slide out. I see you use bungie chords to keep things inside the space, but I would also put a lip may be a 3/16 lip at the edge of all your open space holes.
Yes... as a matter of fact, many shelves have a 1/4" lip... but some were selected to have bungees... as that was more effective for those items.
It is a matter of what was selected for what area.
What if lengths of wood or other things get stuck under the floor shoots? Don't you think it would be good to have hinged doors further inside the van to assist in retrieving any trapped timber or other? I would definitely have a raised floor but I think it needs to be accessible in the event of a problem. The long drawers are a great idea.
There actually is a solution we came up with.. that would allow you to pull all contents out.. in case something got lost in the tunnels... and it doesn't require a "trap door" or anything.
In this case.. we are going to keep the details to ourselves...
@@socinc5749 So what is your method for keeping the tunnels clear? Go on, tell me your secret? 🙂
@@pgtips4240 a piece of sheet metal with a 90 bend on the end would work.
Yes, I used to use a 3 prong hard metal hoe/rake on my pick up.
Great ideas… nice clean work. What type of plywood did you use?
A lot of Birch Plywood
How much weight does it add up and how much gas are you burning?? There is aluminum structures that would be much lighter
thanks
How did you secure the shelving to the sheet metal frame?
Heavy load those plywoods!
Can I buy those shelves? I could build it, but, my schedule is tight and no time to do myself? I have a 4-6 months wait for my transit to be delivered to me. Please, let me know if I can just order that same set up.
Great job. Love it. Where are you guys located?
Northeast Florida
The bottom storage, 91 inches and 69 inches, we can change 91 inches to all the way up to the partition , so we can carry 10 foot stuff like metal pipe, PVC pipe, copper pipe or thread rods ? Still we can make storage at a side door.?
The Floor Storage partitions on the drivers side could be adjusted to be up to approximately 126" long... but it would make the side door storage shorter. It would still work well for many people.
The bottom floor design is somewhat flexible during the planning stages.
Also a cabinetmaker and wondering if you use this van to haul a trailer and if that’s a practical use for a van like this?
I have a 3.5L turbo V6 in my Transit Van ... and I do pull a pretty large trailer. I use my judgement on how hard and fast I want to run, based on the load and distance.
@@Frankmali17 thanks. I figured they can haul a decent load around town. Probably still use the truck for longer hauls. Helpful to know someone has had no issues
