Jumbo-Unit A 1.5-16-15 1xSBL14

Professional tool and material organization in commercial vehicles is a crucial factor for efficiency in everyday work. Craftsmen, service technicians, and logistics personnel face the daily challenge of storing heavy equipment, long components, and cumbersome materials safely, clearly, and within easy reach. A conventional box or an open trunk quickly leads to disorder, long search times, and in the worst case, damage to the load or the vehicle. This is where the Sortimo Jumbo-Unit comes in as a robust large-volume drawer, specifically designed for hard use in the commercial sector. It not only offers a massive increase in order in the vehicle but also contributes to vehicle safety and environmental protection through its lightweight construction. For companies that value a well-thought-out van racking, this solution represents a sensible investment in the productivity of their employees.

The construction of the Jumbo-Unit is characterized by high-quality aluminum lightweight construction. Aluminum is a material that is particularly valued in vehicle construction because it offers an excellent combination of stability and low weight. Compared to steel, aluminum is significantly lighter, which directly influences driving behavior and energy consumption. In the case of a large-volume drawer, which often covers large volumes, the tare weight is crucial as it limits the payload in the vehicle. By using aluminum, the total weight of the van racking is minimized without compromising stability. The surface of the aluminum is also naturally corrosion-resistant, which means that the drawer does not rust even under adverse weather conditions or when in contact with moisture and dirt. This significantly extends the service life of the van racking and reduces maintenance requirements. The external dimensions are 1,650.7 millimeters in length, 356.1 millimeters in width, and 255 millimeters in height. These dimensions make the unit one of the largest solutions available in the range, which still fits into most panel vans and commercial vehicles.

To fully understand the technical precision of the unit, the internal dimensions and the grid system must be considered. The usable internal area is 1,575 millimeters in length, 260 millimeters in depth, and 209.6 millimeters in height. These dimensions define the volume that is actually available for storing tools, spare parts, or building materials. With a load space of 0.410 square meters, the drawer offers a significant area for organization. The weight of the empty unit is 22.23 kilograms, which is considered very low for the stated size. Another important aspect is Sortimo's grid system. The Jumbo-Unit is designed for width grid 1.5, depth grid 16, and height grid 15. This modular system is the key to flexibility, as it allows various modules to be precisely adapted to the conditions of the respective vehicle. The combination of these grid dimensions ensures that the drawer can be integrated seamlessly into the existing van racking.

The maximum payload of the Sortimo Jumbo-Unit is 100 kilograms. This load capacity is a decisive feature that sets the unit apart from many other solutions on the market. Conventional tool boxes or lightweight plastic drawers quickly reach their limits when storing heavy rotary hammers, tool cases, or components. The aluminum drawer with a 100 kg load capacity enables heavy loads to be transported safely and stably without the risk of sagging or damage to the guide rails. This is particularly advantageous for installers, electricians, and carpenters who are often on the road with heavy equipment. The high load-bearing capacity ensures that the load remains securely in the drawer even during sudden driving or braking maneuvers, provided that the load securing is carried out correctly.

The area of application of the Jumbo-Unit extends across various trades and vehicle types. It is ideally suited as an underfloor solution to optimally utilize the load space of a panel van without affecting headroom or other modules in the vehicle. At the same time, it can be used as a stand-alone variant, which offers additional flexibility in room design. Typical applications include the storage of long profiles, pipes, or boards that would not fit in conventional drawers. Storage of heavy power tools, pneumatic tools, or extensive spare part cases is also possible. The large length of over 1.5 meters allows long objects to be stored horizontally, which increases safety in the vehicle as no protruding parts stick out of the drawer.

The advantages of this van racking are obvious and support the professional in daily work. The following list summarizes the most important benefits:

Integration into the Sortimo system is a central point in planning the van racking. The Jumbo-Unit is not to be viewed as an isolated product, but as part of a modular drawer system. It can be fully integrated into the SR5 shelving system, enabling a seamless connection to other modules such as shelves, storage areas, and brackets. This creates a uniform appearance and functionality throughout the vehicle. The combination with a cover plate or a cover tray significantly expands the possibilities for use. Additional work or storage can be performed on the covered surface, effectively doubling the usable load space in the vehicle. The ProSafe lashing points allow the load in the drawer to be secured directly to the drawer, meeting the requirements of the load securing regulations and increasing safety during travel.

For many customers, specific technical questions are relevant before making a decision. One of the most common questions is: What is the maximum payload of the Sortimo Jumbo-Unit? As already explained, the maximum payload is 100 kilograms. This is a value that is more than sufficient for most commercial applications and safely carries even heavy industrial tools. Another important question concerns the material: Is the large-volume drawer made of aluminum rust-free? Yes, although aluminum oxidizes in the air, it forms a protective layer and does not rust like steel. Therefore, the drawer is protected against corrosion and is durable. The question of mounting, i.e., how the Jumbo-Unit is attached in the vehicle, can be answered by the grid system. It is inserted into the designated grid openings of the SR5 system and held in place by the structure of the system. Individual drilling is generally not required, which simplifies installation and avoids damage to the vehicle sheet metal.

The fit of the Sortimo grid dimensions 1.5x16x15 in your own panel van is another critical point. Since Sortimo is a modular system, the existing grid positions in the vehicle must match the dimensions of the Jumbo-Unit. The width grid 1.5, the depth grid 16, and the height grid 15 define the space requirement. Since the unit has a width of 356.1 mm, it fits into the standard width grids. However, the length of 1,650.7 mm requires a correspondingly long free length in the vehicle floor or in the van racking. Therefore, prior measurement of the vehicle interior is essential to ensure that the large-volume drawer 1650mm width actually finds space. Regarding the advantages over conventional tool boxes, these lie in static safety, better weight distribution in the vehicle, and the ability to organize large quantities of material in a small space. A box often has to be lifted and carried individually, while the drawer with the heavy objects can be pulled out easily. This protects the backs of craftsmen and increases work speed.

Modular tool organization in the vehicle is possible through the Jumbo-Unit because it can be integrated into a larger overall system. This enables a logical separation of tools by type, frequency of use, or trade. Anyone who wants to order a drawer for fleet vehicles benefits from the standardization, which makes it easier to equip different vehicles uniformly. Being able to buy the large-volume drawer for panel vans therefore means not only purchasing a single product, but gaining access to a well-thought-out ecosystem of van racking. Optimizing tool storage in the van through such solutions leads to measurable time savings. Search times are minimized because everything is in its defined place. In addition, the vehicle interior is protected from dirt and damage by loose items lying in the trunk.

In summary, the Sortimo Jumbo-Unit A 1.5-16-15 1xSBL14 offers a comprehensive solution for anyone who needs to transport heavy and large materials safely and efficiently in the vehicle. The combination of high load capacity, lightweight aluminum material, and integration into the SR5 system makes it a first choice for professional users. The technical data of 100 kg payload, 22.23 kg tare weight, and the specific grid dimensions guarantee compatibility and stability. By using this large-volume drawer, workplace safety is increased, ergonomics are improved, and productivity in everyday work is increased. For companies that are modernizing or newly equipping their fleet, this is a step towards a professional and sustainable van racking that has proven itself in daily practice. The investment in such a van racking pays off quickly through the time gained and the protection of the workforce.
