The E-Transit Custom from 2023 is also compatible.

The flexibility of the system is particularly evident in its adaptation to different vehicle variants. It supports vehicles with L1, Long, or Short as well as various wheelbases from 2933 mm to 3200 mm. The total lengths of the vehicles vary between 4904 mm and 5140 mm, requiring detailed planning. Roof shapes high roof, standard roof, and medium high roof, as well as manufacturer designations H1 and H2, are also taken into account. Regarding drive, front-wheel drive, front-wheel drive/rear-wheel drive/all-wheel drive, and front-wheel drive/all-wheel drive are relevant factors for static integration. The side door variant is fixed to the right, while the rear opening variant distinguishes between wing door and tailgate. The vehicle tyre specification is single tyres, which must be taken into account when calculating interior dimensions. This ensures safe and low-vibration installation, which is crucial for the durability of the entire van racking. After purchase, a sales consultant contacts the customer to coordinate the installation, ensuring that the assembly is carried out professionally.

Whether in the electrical installation trade, sanitary and heating technology, or carpentry – the system offers structured storage for small parts, power tools, and special tools. The modular storage system approach allows the configuration to be adapted according to the order. While the basic frame remains stable, the storage surfaces can be flexibly loaded. This is particularly advantageous for professional storage solutions for fleet vehicles, as the van racking can adapt to changing tasks without the entire shelving unit needing to be replaced. Compatibility with ProClick also allows tool bags or SR5 accessories to be hooked into the ProSafe holes without tools. This quick-change technology saves valuable time during work and prevents tools from getting lost or rolling around in the load space.

The advantages of this specific model lie in its sophisticated architecture and system compatibility. The slim design maximizes the usable load space, leading directly to greater efficiency. The material combination of aluminium, steel, ABS, and PA6 offers an ideal balance of lightness, stability, and durability. The tool-free assembly of accessories via ProClick significantly reduces entry and exit times in the vehicle.
