Jumbo-Unit A 2.5-14-21 1xSBL10 1xSBL10

The professional van racking in the trades and logistics sector requires not only thoughtful space utilization but also durable and high-load-bearing components that can withstand daily demands. In this context, the large-volume drawer plays a central role, as it enables specialists to store heavy and bulky tools and materials safely and within easy reach. The Sortimo Jumbo-Unit A in dimension 2.5-14-21 with two drawers (1xSBL10) represents exactly this solution. It combines robust construction with the flexibility that modern fleets require. Whether as an underfloor solution in a panel van or as a standalone unit in a trailer, this aluminium drawer offers a reliable basis for daily work. Integration into existing systems such as the SR5 shelving system ensures that the van racking trades drawer fits seamlessly into the workflow, thereby increasing efficiency on the construction site or in the warehouse.

The construction of the Jumbo-Unit is based on a high-quality aluminium housing, which is known for its special combination of stability and lightness. Aluminium is not only corrosion-resistant, which guarantees the longevity of the unit even under adverse weather conditions, but also actively contributes to weight reduction. A lower tare weight of the van racking means directly less fuel consumption and a lower CO₂ footprint during transport. The external dimensions of the unit are 1,462.2 millimetres in length, 603.1 millimetres in width, and 357 millimetres in height. Despite the compact design in relation to the load capacity, the product offers an impressive load space. The internal dimensions are 1,386 x 507 x 141.6 millimetres, corresponding to a net pull-out area of 1.405 square metres. This volume is crucial for accommodating large parts, machines, or building materials that would not fit in conventional drawers.

Technically, the unit is precisely matched to the grid of the Sortimo system. The width grid 2.5, the depth grid 14, and the height grid 21 define the exact installation dimensions and enable flexible adaptation to different vehicle types. The maximum payload is a substantial 100 kilograms per unit. This high load capacity makes the 100 kg load capacity aluminium drawer an ideal choice for use with heavy equipment. The total weight of the empty unit is 41.86 kilograms. This weight is very low in relation to the load capacity and external dimensions, which keeps the transport of the unit itself within limits when it needs to be removed or repositioned in the vehicle. The variant with two drawers (1xSBL10) also offers the possibility to separate different goods or to use the drawers as an underfloor or standalone solution, significantly increasing the flexibility in the case construction drawer.

The areas of application for this large-volume drawer are diverse and range from electricians to plumbers to the landscaping industry. In these areas, heavy rotary hammers, rolls of cable, pipes, or large tool cases often need to be transported. A conventional tool drawer quickly reaches its limits here, as it is either too small for the volume or too weak for the weight. The Jumbo-Unit solves this problem by providing a closed, secure storage space. Through full integration into the SR5 shelving system, it can be optimally integrated into existing van racking. ProSafe lashing points enable secure load securing, so that there is no danger to the driver or the load even in the event of sudden braking or cornering. The combination with a cover plate or cover tray further expands the possibilities for use, as this creates a flat work surface or additional protection against dirt and moisture.

The advantages of this specific configuration are obvious and distinguish it from simple storage boxes or non-integrated solutions. The following points summarise the essential qualities of the Jumbo-Unit:

The classification into the Sortimo system is a crucial factor for the attractiveness of this large-volume drawer. The SR5 system is known worldwide for its modularity and stability. The Sortimo Jumbo-Unit 2.5 grid fits seamlessly into this ecosystem. This means that shelves, trays, and other drawers are perfectly coordinated with each other. Anyone who decides on a Sortimo drawer is investing in a system that can be expanded over time. Compatibility with other components means that the Jumbo-Unit does not stand alone but is part of a thoughtful overall solution. This is particularly interesting for fleet managers and trade businesses that wish to build up or modernise their van racking step by step. The possibility of combining the drawer with cover plates shows the flexibility of the system: the storage space becomes an additional work surface or a secure transport container for loose parts when required.

To clearly answer common questions from potential buyers and planners of van racking, the most important technical and practical aspects are detailed below. A frequently asked question is: How much does a Sortimo large-volume drawer weigh? With the Jumbo-Unit A, the weight of the empty unit is 41.86 kilograms. This weight is very low in relation to the provided stability and load capacity. It is in the range of an aluminium drawer designed for high loads, but not so heavy that it unnecessarily utilises the payload limit of the vehicle or makes installation difficult. A lighter material such as plastic would often be inferior in terms of load capacity and durability, while steel could be even more stable but would entail a significantly higher weight, which would have a negative impact on consumption.

Another central question concerns the load capacity: What is the load capacity of the Jumbo-Unit A? The technical specification gives a clear answer here: The maximum payload is 100 kg per unit. This is a value that is far above what many standard tool drawers on the market offer. This capacity is essential for tradespeople who transport machines, large tool cases, or building materials such as pipes and profiles. The 100 kg load capacity makes the unit the large-volume drawer for panel vans that require heavy equipment without compromising on safety. The ProSafe lashing points ensure that these 100 kg can also be securely fixed.

But do Sortimo drawers fit in every panel van? Generally, the Sortimo system is modular and designed for many vehicle types. However, the Jumbo-Unit A has specific external dimensions of 1,462.2 x 603.1 x 357 mm. The width grid 2.5 and the depth 14 as well as height 21 define the space requirement. Not every panel van has the necessary width or height to accommodate this specific unit, especially if other SR5 elements are already installed. It is therefore important to check the vehicle dimensions in advance. The flexibility of the system lies in the fact that there are different grid sizes. For very small vehicles, there are other modules, while the Jumbo-Unit is ideal for vehicles with a larger load space or trailer. It fits into vehicles that leave enough space for a unit of this size and can often be used as an underfloor solution to keep the cargo space above free.

How much space does a 14 depth drawer offer? The depth 14 corresponds to the internal depth of the Jumbo-Unit. The internal dimensions show that the usable depth is 507 mm, while the external depth is 603.1 mm. This value is important for planning, as it determines how long objects can be. A depth of over 50 cm inside allows long tools, profiles, or rolls to be accommodated, which could not be stored in shallower drawers. The length of 1,386 mm inside also offers plenty of storage area. Together, this results in a load space of 1.405 m², which represents a significant difference to smaller drawers. Anyone looking for a large tool drawer for a fleet will find a solution here that utilises the volume optimally.

What advantages does aluminium offer for tool drawers? The use of aluminium offers several clear advantages. Firstly, it is light, which helps to keep the total weight of the vehicle low. Secondly, it is rust-free and requires no maintenance like steel parts that must be painted or coated. Thirdly, it offers high strength with simultaneously low weight. Compared to plastic, aluminium is more stable and withstands higher temperatures and mechanical loads better. For tool storage in the vehicle, this means that the drawer is not easily damaged even under extreme stress, e.g., by falling heavy tools. The choice of material is thus a direct contribution to the quality and lifespan of the van racking.

In summary, it can be said that the Sortimo Jumbo-Unit A 2.5-14-21 with two SBL10 drawers is a powerful solution for demanding users. It combines the advantages of a robust aluminium construction with the high load capacity of 100 kg and the flexibility of the SR5 system. For tradespeople and fleet managers who value order, safety, and efficiency, this large-volume drawer is a sensible investment in the professional equipment of their vehicle. The possibility of integrating it into existing systems and combining it with further components makes it a versatile building block for any modern van racking. Anyone looking for a reliable and durable solution for heavy loads will find a professional answer to the demands of daily professional life in the Sortimo Jumbo-Unit.
