Ford Transit Custom L1 SWB MY 2012-2023

Transit Custom L1 short model year 2012-2023 Shelving – Tips for Optimal Van Racking

• In this older Ford Transit Custom model, the rear wheel arches in the cargo area are higher. That’s why all recommended van racking units for this model include a plinth under the lower cabinet—so the cabinet fits properly over the wheel arch.
• Thanks to the straight bulkhead, it’s easy to install shelving units directly against it. Popular choices for this configuration include the 130 cm van shelving unit and the 127 cm van racking unit.
• For improved work ergonomics and comfort, choose shelving systems that are easily accessible from the cargo door openings. Make the most of the shelf ends and side walls near the doors – these are ideal locations for accessories like hangers and hose/cable holders, as they can be accessed without crawling into the van.
• Consider long drawer units installed on the floor as an alternative to traditional sidewall shelving. These long drawers can also be stacked to maximize vertical space.
• If your van carries valuable tools and has windows on the rear or side doors, we highly recommend installing window guards for added security.
