Xpress 5 Block-S2-LI-Basic

The professional equipment of a van is a decisive factor for the daily efficiency of craftsmen and service providers. An unorganised vehicle leads to loss of time, insecure load securing and an increased risk of accidents. The solution to these challenges is offered by the Sortimo Xpress racking, a modular van racking system that is specifically tailored to the needs of vehicle professionals. The focus of this text is the model Xpress 5 Block-S2-LI-Basic. This is a pre-configured racking system that is already matched to specific vehicle types and lengths at the factory. This enables quick and standardised integration into the load space without the need for complex individual configuration. The system is aimed at users who value high-quality materials, simple handling and maximum use of space.

The construction of the Sortimo Xpress racking is based on the innovative SR5 concept. This design principle aims to maximise the usable load space of the vehicle. In comparison to conventional van racking with bulky frame constructions, the SR5 system is characterised by extremely compact side profiles. These take up significantly less volume in the interior, leaving more space for tools, materials and work accessories. The construction deliberately combines different materials to ensure both stability and lightness. The basic structure consists of aluminium and steel, while ABS and PA6 (polyamide 6) are used for certain components and surfaces. This combination of materials ensures high resistance to mechanical stress and chemical influences in everyday commercial use.

The technical specifications of the Xpress 5 Block-S2-LI-Basic are precisely defined. The external dimensions are 1,512 millimetres in length, 384 millimetres in width and 1,040 millimetres in height. The total weight of the racking is exactly 20.00 kilograms. This low weight is a significant advantage as it facilitates handling and does not unnecessarily burden the payload of the vehicle. The aluminium racking is therefore easy to transport and install, but remains stable due to the steel components and robust workmanship. The choice of materials is not arbitrary, but follows the principle of optimal force distribution and durability. The pre-configured racking is dimensioned to make use of the standard dimensions of many commercially available vans without overloading or blocking them.

The area of application of this system extends over a wide range of vehicles and professions. Typical applications can be found in electrical installation, plumbing and heating, carpentry and building services. In these areas, quick and orderly tool storage is essential to be ready for every job. The racking is particularly suitable for vehicles in length classes L2, Long, Maxi and Extra Long. Compatibility covers a large number of manufacturers and models. These include, among others, Renault, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Citroën, Opel, Peugeot, Toyota and Fiat. Specific models are the Renault Kangoo Rapid from 2021, the Citan from 2021, the Townstar from 2022 as well as the electric variants such as the Kangoo Rapid E-Tech, the Townstar Electric and the eCitan, all from 2022. Older generations such as the Kangoo from 2013, the Citan from 2012 to 2020 and the NV250 from 2019 are also supported.

In addition to Renault models, the system is also available for vehicles from Citroën, Opel, Peugeot, Toyota, Fiat, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan. Specifically, it fits in the Berlingo from 2018, the Combo from 2018, the Partner from 2018, the ë-Berlingo from 2021, the e-Partner from 2021, the Combo-e Cargo from 2021, the Proace City Electric from 2021, the Proace City from 2020, the Doblo Cargo from 2022 and the E-Doblo from 2022. The technical adaptation is carried out on vehicles with a wheelbase of 3100, 3081 or 2975 millimetres. The overall lengths of the supported vehicles are 4910, 4705 or 4753 millimetres. The roof shape is defined as standard roof (H1). The drive type can be front-wheel drive or electric, which underlines the suitability for modern fleets with electrified vehicles.

An important aspect of vehicle equipment is the type of rear opening. The Sortimo racking system pre-configured is designed to also fit vehicles with wing doors. It is also compatible with equipment with a conventional tailgate. The side door variant is oriented to the right side, which must be taken into account when planning the loading area and access to the racking. The tyre is specified as single tyre, which is typical for most commercially available vans of this class. This detailed adjustment ensures that the craftsman racking aluminium truck or van is integrated not only optically, but also functionally perfectly into the load space. Installing tool storage in a van thus becomes a process that dispenses with tailoring, but still offers a perfect fit.

The installation of the Sortimo Xpress S2 LI Basic takes place in conjunction with a Sortimo floor. The installation is professionally accompanied: A sales consultant will contact you after purchase to agree the installation with the customer. This ensures that all safety requirements are met and the system is installed correctly. The illustrations are for illustrative purposes and may differ from the delivered product. Delivery is only within Germany. For exact vehicle compatibility, it is recommended to consult the data sheet or use the configurator to check suitability for the specific vehicle.

The advantages of this system lie in its thoughtful modularity and the high quality of the components. The following list summarises the main positive features:

The classification into the Sortimo system shows the enormous flexibility of the products. The Xpress racking is not an isolated product, but part of a large ecosystem of load securing and organisation. The ProClick technology plays a central role here. It allows various Sortimo accessories such as tool bags, shelves or brackets to be hung directly onto the side profiles of the racking. Since the holes of the ProSafe profiles are standardised, the equipment can be adapted at any time during operation. If more tools are needed, simply hang in more bags. If space is needed for long components, certain modules can be removed. This flexibility makes the vehicle racking system a long-term investment that grows with the requirements of the craftsman. The handling is intuitive and requires no tools, which is of great value in stressful everyday professional life.

To answer common questions about the application and technology of the Sortimo Xpress 5 Block-S2-LI-Basic clearly, you will find the relevant information here. The question of which racking fits in the Renault Kangoo Rapid is answered by this pre-configured model. It is explicitly designed for the Renault Kangoo Rapid from model year 2021 and offers a tailor-made solution. To the question of whether the Sortimo Xpress racking is made of aluminium or steel: The answer lies in the hybrid construction. The racking consists of a combination of aluminium, steel, ABS and PA6. The aluminium ensures the light structure, the steel for the supporting strength. The weight of the Sortimo Xpress 5 Block-S2-LI-Basic is exactly 20.00 kg. This weight is relatively low for a racking of this size and facilitates installation and handling in the vehicle. To the question of whether Sortimo racking fits in vehicles with wing doors: Yes, the system is compatible with vehicles that have a tailgate or a wing door. The installation instructions and profile geometry take both variants into account. Finally, regarding compatibility: In addition to the Renault Kangoo, a wide variety of other models are compatible, including the Citroën Berlingo, the Opel Combo, the Peugeot Partner, the Toyota Proace City, the Fiat Doblo and various models from Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota.
