Jumbo-Unit A 2-12-21 1xSBL8 1xSBL12

The professional organization of tools and materials in a panel van is one of the most important prerequisites for efficient work at the customer's site. A cluttered vehicle interior leads to loss of time, frustration, and in the worst case, insecure load securing. For craftsmen and tradespeople who regularly transport heavy equipment and unwieldy building materials, a robust solution for safe storage is therefore essential. The Jumbo-Unit from Sortimo represents a high-quality response to the requirements of modern workshop equipment here. It is a large-volume drawer specifically designed to store massive weight safely, within easy reach, and protected from damage in the vehicle. Through the combination of high stability and thoughtful design into the SR5 racking system, this module offers an optimal balance between functionality and space utilization.

The assembly and construction of this unit are characterized by a high-quality aluminum lightweight design. Aluminum is the material of choice when it comes to the ratio of strength to own weight. An aluminum drawer of this size would be extremely heavy if made of steel, thereby unnecessarily burdening the payload of the vehicle. However, the material used in the Jumbo-Unit A 2-12-21 ensures enormous stability with a relatively low own weight of 24.03 kg. This weight saving is not only relevant for the driving dynamics of the panel van, but also actively contributes to reducing energy and CO₂ consumption during transport. The drawer is designed as a flush-mount solution, but can also be used as a stand-alone variant thanks to its stable construction, provided that the mounting conditions in the vehicle allow this. The complete integration into the SR5 racking system from Sortimo makes it possible to seamlessly integrate the unit into existing vehicle concepts and create a consistent, logical order throughout the load space.

To accurately assess the suitability of the Jumbo-Unit for the specific application, the technical specifications are of central importance. The external dimensions are 1,246.7 millimeters in length, 479.6 millimeters in width, and 357 millimeters in height. These dimensions define the required installation space in the vehicle and must be taken into account when planning the van racking. Within this shell, the user has effective internal dimensions of 1,171 x 388.3 x 107.6 millimeters available. These dimensions are crucial for assessing which items can actually be stored. The load space amounts to 0.909 square meters, representing a significant storage space for large parts. The grid design of the unit is based on the values width grid 2, depth grid 12, and height grid 21, allowing precise adaptation to other SR5 modules. A crucial factor for safety is the maximum payload: The Jumbo-Unit A 2-12-21 is loadable up to 100 kg. This load capacity clearly distinguishes it from smaller compartments and makes it the ideal choice for heavy tools, machine components, or material samples. The variant described here comprises two drawers (1xSBL8 and 1xSBL12), which increases flexibility in dividing the storage space.

The areas of application for this large-volume drawer are diverse and cover a broad spectrum of commercial use. Typical applications can be found in electrical installation, plumbing, carpentry, and general construction. In these areas, items are often transported that do not fit into small compartments nor can be safely stored openly in the load space. A tool drawer with a 100 kg load capacity is excellent for heavy rotary hammers, angle grinders, large toolboxes, or bundles of pipes and profiles that are to be transported in the drawer protected from damage. The drawer for vehicle interior 47cm wide (actually approx. 48 cm external) flexibly adapts to the width of many common panel vans. Through the possibility of combining it with a cover plate or a cover tray, the surface of the drawer can additionally be used as a worktop or standing surface. This significantly expands the possibilities of use in the narrow load space of a panel van and creates a multifunctional working environment directly in the vehicle.

The advantages of this specific configuration are obvious and make it a first-class component for professional vehicle equipment:

The classification into the Sortimo system is a crucial factor for the long-term benefit of the investment. The SR5 system from Sortimo is modular and allows various elements such as shelves, drawers, brackets, and covers to be combined flexibly. The Sortimo Jumbo-Unit A 2-12-21 is not an isolated component, but part of a thoughtful concept. By using standardized grids, it can be precisely adapted to other modules. A large-volume drawer set from several units can thus form a complete wall in the panel van. The combination with other Sortimo drawer modules, such as the 2-way module, makes it possible to mix different sizes and load capacities to optimally utilize the load space. The possibility of placing a cover tray on top turns the drawer into a stable work surface that can be used directly on site in an emergency. This system compatibility ensures that expansions or conversions in the vehicle are easily possible without having to procure new, incompatible components.

For many craftsmen, specific questions regarding suitability and dimensioning arise when planning the vehicle equipment. A frequently asked question is: What is the load capacity of the Sortimo Jumbo-Unit A? The answer is clear: The unit is designed for a maximum payload of 100 kg per drawer unit. This makes it the first choice for transporting heavy equipment that cannot be safely stored in smaller compartments. Another relevant question is: How do the Sortimo drawers fit into the panel van? The answer lies in the modular construction and standardized grid dimensions. The width of the unit at 479.6 mm adapts to common vehicle widths and can be securely connected to the vehicle frame or adjacent shelving elements through the SR5 system. However, the depth and height must be checked in advance against the existing installation spaces in the vehicle.

The difference between a large-volume drawer and a conventional tool drawer is often discussed. While small tool drawers are often designed for quick access to handy tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, or small parts, the large-volume drawer serves to accommodate massive, heavy, or voluminous goods. The focus here is less on detailed organization, but rather on the safe storage of items that require a higher load capacity and take up more space. The Sortimo drawer 1xSBL8 1xSBL12 in the Jumbo-Unit version therefore does not offer fine compartments for small parts, but large, open spaces for large items. The internal dimensions of the Sortimo drawer 1xSBL8 1xSBL12 are 1,171 x 388.3 x 107.6 mm. These dimensions define the available storage space and show that primarily long or wide items find space here.

Another important question is: Is the Sortimo Jumbo-Unit made of aluminum? Yes, the construction is based entirely on aluminum. This is a crucial feature, as aluminum offers high strength at a low specific weight. Compared to steel, the aluminum drawer is significantly lighter, which is of decisive importance in the panel van to not exceed the permissible total mass of the vehicle and at the same time not negatively affect the driving performance. For customers looking for such a solution, it is advisable to want to buy the Sortimo Jumbo-Unit A 2-12-21 to benefit from the quality and system compatibility. An aluminum large-volume drawer with rollers is part of the fixed mounting system in this version, which significantly increases stability during driving, as no moving parts like rollers could change the position in the resting state. Safety is the top priority with this equipment.

In summary, the Jumbo-Unit A 2-12-21 1xSBL8 1xSBL12 offers a powerful solution for anyone who wants to professionally house their workshop equipment in the vehicle. The combination of high load capacity of 100 kg, the light and stable aluminum construction, and the seamless integration into the SR5 system makes it an indispensable component for modern van racking. Craftsmen benefit from clear order, secure load securing through ProSafe lashing points, and the possibility of transporting heavy and unwieldy items protected and within easy reach. The large load space and precise dimensions enable flexible planning of the vehicle equipment. Those who value durability, system thinking, and efficient workflows will find an ideal addition to their existing equipment in this large-volume drawer. The investment in high-quality vehicle technology pays off through time savings and increased safety in everyday work.
