Know Your Needs
Choosing the right van accessories means understanding your needs. Everybody works a little differently and every trade, vehicle, and layout has its differences. Cargo van accessories can do more than just help someone be organized, they can keep you safe and help you save time and money.

For the Mobile Office
For many tradesmen, your commercial vehicle is not only your mobile warehouse and workshop, but it’s also your office. You can make it easier to work and get organized by selecting van accessories like cab organizers, paper holders, or additional lighting that can make your mobile office a more comfortable and efficient space to work from.

For Trades
Every trade is different and has unique needs. Ranger Design has work van accessories that are designed to suit specific trades. For example; there are several different styles of refrigerant bottle racks and lockers for HVAC tradesmen. The transport tube kit is very popular for Plumbers and Electricians as it permits them to transport long conduit tubing or piping; keeping it safe from the elements and damage-free. Electricians, Telecom, and Alarm technicians will also appreciate the wire reel holders, which hold and organize the wire they need.

For Safety
Having doors that can lock on your shelving and lockers provides two advantages:

They can better protect your inventory and tools by keeping them secure when the road gets rough and they can deter thieves and protect valuable tools and inventory when you’re on a job and your vehicle is unattended.
Wire grills for your windows can also protect you from theft as well as prevent damage to windows during loading or unloading equipment. Van roof vents help protect you from any gasses/ vapors or smells that may build up in the cargo area of your van. It will help reduce heat build-up and allow moisture to escape should any materials or tools be stored or transported wet.

For Organization
There are several different styles of hooks that can be used to organize tools and equipment to be most effective. Specially designed hard hat holders can keep frequently used hats within easy reach and safely stowed while on the road.
