Xpress 11 Block-M2-LI-Basic

The efficient organization of tools and equipment for mobile operations is a crucial factor for the success of professional tradespeople and service providers. A cluttered load space leads to loss of time, an increased risk of accidents due to flying objects, and poor work preparation. The solution to this problem is the Sortimo Xpress racking, a pre-configured van racking system specifically designed to maximize the available storage space in commercial vehicles without compromising on quality and durability. This system is aimed at anyone who values quick access to their tools and at the same time wants to use the load space of their vehicle as a productive workspace. The van racking is not just a simple storage system, but a well-thought-out concept for optimizing logistics in the vehicle. Through precise adaptation to the vehicle contours, a modular storage system is created that integrates seamlessly into daily work life and significantly facilitates the handling of materials and tools.

The assembly and construction of the racking are based on the innovative SR5 concept, which optimizes the use of the load space by focusing on economical space distribution. In contrast to conventional frame constructions, which often take up valuable storage space through thick profiles, this system uses compact side profiles. These require significantly less space, which significantly increases the usable volume in the vehicle. The combination of materials consisting of aluminium, steel, ABS and PA6 ensures high stability with a low weight. Aluminium forms the basic structure for lightweight construction, while steel components provide the necessary strength at the load points. The elements made of ABS and PA6 serve for surface coating and structuring the compartments, thereby protecting sensitive tools and ensuring non-slip storage. This choice of material is typical for a high-quality aluminium racking system that is resistant to both corrosion and mechanical stress in construction site operations.

In order to accurately assess the technical specifications, the physical data of the model Xpress 11 Block-M2-LI-Basic are of great importance. The external dimensions are 2,006 millimetres in length, 436 millimetres in depth and 1,040 millimetres in height. With a total weight of 40.00 kilograms, the racking is robust enough for heavy loads, but can still be assembled by one person, provided the appropriate precautions are taken. The depth of 436 millimetres is chosen so that it usually optimally fills the available width between the wheelhouse and the side wall without restricting the passage in the vehicle too much. The height of over one metre effectively utilises the vertical space in the high roof or standard roof. These dimensions make it an ideal solution for tool storage in panel vans, as it fits in both short and long vehicle variants. The weight of 40.00 kg is distributed evenly across the structure, which increases stability during driving and dampens vibrations that could otherwise lead to loosening at fastening points.

The areas of application for this system are broad and cover the most common commercial vehicles from major manufacturers. It is compatible with models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. For the Ford Transit Custom, the racking is available from model year 2012 and fits various length variants. The same applies to the Mercedes-Benz Vito from model year 2014, including the electric variant e-Vito from 2019. With Volkswagen, compatibility is given with the T5 from 2003, the T6 from 2015 and the T6 Plus from 2015. Particularly current is the support for the new models The new eTransporter 2025 and The new Transporter 2025, which shows that Sortimo continuously adapts its products to the latest vehicle generations. The Ford E-Transit Custom from 2023 is also supported. The compatibility extends to various vehicle lengths such as L1, Long and Short as well as different wheelbases, which can vary between 2,933 mm and 3,200 mm. The overall lengths of the vehicles, which range between 4,904 mm and 5,140 mm, are also taken into account by the flexible construction of the racking. The roof shapes high roof, standard roof and medium-high roof as well as the roof shape manufacturer designations H1 and H2 are also covered. Regardless of whether the vehicle has front-wheel drive, a combination of front and rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and whether the side door is arranged on the right or the vehicle has wing doors or a tailgate in the rear opening variant, the system finds a suitable solution. The single tyres of the vehicles do not play a restrictive role in the installation, as the fastening takes place primarily on the floor elements and the side walls.

The advantages of this pre-configured system lie in its direct readiness for use and systemic integration. The following list summarises the essential benefits:

The classification into the Sortimo system is crucial for understanding the expandability. The racking is not to be seen as an isolated product, but as the core piece of a larger infrastructure. ProClick is compatible with the side profiles, so that tool pockets or SR5 accessories can be hooked into the ProSafe holes without tools. This enables dynamic adaptation of tool storage to changing requirements. By varying the component depths or the installation positions, the van racking adapts optimally to the contour of the vehicle. For example, corners or irregular vehicle shapes can be compensated. This floor forms the supporting base on which the racking is attached. Without this base, secure fastening is not guaranteed. A sales consultant will contact you after the purchase to discuss the installation with you and ensure that all components are coordinated. The illustrations are similar, the decorative material is not included, and delivery is only within Germany.

To clarify common uncertainties when selecting, here are the answers to relevant user questions. Many tradespeople ask themselves: Which racking fits in the Ford Transit Custom L1? The Sortimo Xpress 11 Block for Ford Transit Custom is specifically tailored to the dimensions of this vehicle type and offers plenty of storage space for long tools through a length of over two metres. Another common question is: Is the Sortimo Xpress racking suitable for the Mercedes Vito? Yes, the Sortimo Vito installation is supported from model year 2014, including the newer e-Vito models, which enables seamless integration even in electric vehicles. Regarding the weight, the answer to the question: How much does the aluminium racking system weigh? The specific model Xpress 11 Block-M2-LI-Basic weighs exactly 40.00 kg, which represents a good balance between stability and handling. The question of whether there is also a Sortimo racking for the new Transporter 2025 can be answered with a clear yes. The Sortimo Basic package for Transporter 2025 is already included in the compatibility list, which underlines the currency of the product range. Finally, the question What does Xpress 11 Block-M2-LI-Basic mean? clarifies. The designation stands for a pre-configured unit (block) with specific dimensions and materials (M2 for material combination, LI for length variant, Basic for the basic equipment without optional extras), which serves as the starting point for the van racking. A detailed installation manual Sortimo Xpress Vito e-Vito is available in the technical data sheet or via the configurator, where more detailed information on vehicle compatibility can also be found. Users can simply use the button Start configurator to check the perfect fit for their specific vehicle.
