FORD CUSTOM LWB

Gas Engineer Fit-Out

The Brief

Custom fit-out of a standard roof Ford Transit Custom L2 H1, designed to support the day-to-day needs of a busy gas engineer. The setup needed to accommodate a variety of tools, fittings, and diagnostic equipment used in boiler servicing, pipework installations, and general maintenance work, while keeping everything secure, organised, and easy to access on the go.

Customer Requirements

  • High-capacity drawer storage for gas meters, analysers, and testing kits
  • Secure space for fittings and pipe components in various sizes
  • Keep floor area clear and safe for moving in/out of the van
  • Durable, wipe-clean surface for use in dirty or wet environments
  • Easy-to-access layout with parts organised and visible

What We Installed

  • Half raised floor system using anti-slip hex board with 2 deep pull-out drawers on full-extension runners (rated to 100kg each)
  • Euro box container racking for 12 boxes
  • Box shelving for Milwaukee Packouts
  • Upright storage compartment for larger items
  • Divider racking with interchangeable compartments, ideal for storing small consumables
  • Finished in 12mm hex ply with interlocking tenon joints for strength and durability

We made the most of the space by building deep, sturdy drawers under a half-raised floor, giving the customer plenty of secure storage without sacrificing practicality.The drawers are ideal for heavier kit like analyders and tools, while the front-facing compartments above are perfect for keeping fittings and smaller parts neatly organised. The layout means larger items can be easily moved, and all the everyday bits are right at the back of the van – easy to grab without having to climb in.

The result is a professional, robust fit-out that keeps the van clear while offering ample storage for specialist gas equipment. Organised, efficient and engineered for daily trade use.
