Opel Vivaro Shelving

Opel Vivaro – Tips for Optimal Van Racking

• Vivaro is a medium-sized, commonly used van, and its cargo space allows for versatile equipment setups for various professional tasks.
• One feature of the new Vivaro is that behind the rear wheel arches, the floor has a raised section. As a result, we have created a custom shelving range specifically for the Vivaro. In Vivaro’s collection, the shelving/cabinet units have narrow lower cabinets so the units can be installed as close to the side wall of the van as possible, minimizing any unnecessary space between the unit and the wall.
• A popular configuration is a long open van shelving on the left side wall (for example, a 230 cm long van shelving unit for a long Vivaro) and a racking / drawer unit on the right side wall (for example, a 127 cm van racking unit for a long Vivaro).
• The Vivaro has a long item hatch in the partition wall. If a unit is placed in the partition, the hatch may not be accessible.
• We recommend choosing shelving units that you can easily access through the cargo door openings. Crawling into the low cargo space is uncomfortable.
• Utilize the ends of shelves and the walls near the doors, where you can reach without crawling into the van. These are great spots for van accessories, such as hooks and hose/cable holders.
• Floor-mounted long van drawers are a great alternative to wall-mounted shelving. They can also be stacked on top of each other for better space optimization.
• If you store valuable tools in the cargo area and the doors have windows, we recommend van window guards.
• The same products designed for the Renault Trafic are suitable for older Vivaro models (pre-2019).

Why the Opel Vivaro is ideal for professional van shelving

The Opel Vivaro is one of the most versatile medium-sized vans for professional shelving and mobile workshop setups. Its practical cargo dimensions allow highly efficient storage layouts for electricians, HVAC installers, maintenance professionals, construction companies, and mobile service vans.

A well-designed shelving setup helps improve daily workflow by keeping tools, fittings, consumables, and equipment organised and easily accessible throughout the workday.

Many professionals choose a combination of:

• long open shelving for quick access to tools and materials
• drawer systems for organised storage
• floor-mounted long drawers for heavier tools and equipment

The Opel Vivaro is especially well suited for modular shelving systems because the cargo area allows highly practical layouts on both side walls while still maintaining good accessibility through the side and rear doors.

The wide sliding side door opening also makes it easy to access shelving and pull-out drawers directly from outside the van, helping improve efficiency and reducing unnecessary climbing inside the cargo area.

The Opel Vivaro is highly suitable for modular shelving setups that can later be expanded with:

• additional shelves
• storage cases
• tool panels
• hose and cable holders
• pull-out work surfaces

Long floor-mounted drawer systems are particularly popular in medium-sized vans like the Vivaro because they maximise floor-level storage while keeping tools and equipment easily accessible from outside the vehicle.

For professionals carrying valuable tools and equipment, combining shelving systems with lockable drawer units and window guards helps improve cargo security and theft protection.
