Vauxhall has teamed up with systems specialist Bott Ltd to offer a range of storage and protection accessories for the Astravan, Combo, Movano and the new Vivaro.

The range of products includes non-slip wooden floors with maintenance panels where necessary. For heavy loads, sliding load floors can be fitted to the Astravan and Combo while a range of interior lining panels for vehicle sides is available in steel/polypropylene combinations. With these the upper portion is perforated to accept a range of hangers for tools, cables and other equipment.

Fixed and sliding side panels for Astravans and the Combo come with storage boxes and can be supplemented with tool and equipment hangers and a selection of six storage modules varying from simple open shelf units to combination drawer units with removable, transportable tool cases.

In addition to these larger storage systems a selection of hangers, boxes and insert trays for storing tools is available.

A Vauxhall spokesman said: “Not only do specialist racking and storage systems lead to far greater working efficiency, which of course has a knock on effect on a tradesman's profitability. Professionally equipped vans also tend to hold their residual values far better so there is an extra bonus when the time comes to sell.”
