Festool van setup

[Roadkilled]

Hi guys,

I've been setting my van up now for quit a few months now but I think I've finally got it as I like it

 

[Paul G]

That's a nice set up!

 

[ajones]

Nice big van loads of room. I like your parallel guide and rail storage neat..

 

[Frank Pellow]

Looks like a really good arrangement.

How do you keep all your systainers so clean?

Umm camera trickery I think they're dusty but I do look after them

Big pad lock on your Kapex lol! 

Nice clean setup dude! 

More and More UK people are getting into this festool racking system. 

My mate has gone and copied my racking after few weeks working with

    Mine aint as clean looking as yours though!

I want a bigger Van though!

That is sweet! I thought mine was tidy but yours is spot on. Excellent job.
What van is it?

 

[andyman]

I love the idea of these racks but would be scared stiff some toe rag would break in or steal the van [mad]

 

[WPeters]

Very nice!  How do you keep the systainers and the ct vac from rattling loose in transit?

 

[luke1984]

Very nice I've got a similar rack but way more cramped as I've got a swb vivaro il try and up load a photo tomorrow! Do you unload your tools every nite after work?

Thanks guys,

There is a 4mm lip on the front of all the systainers, its all that is needed to keep them in place. The midi just stays where it is with the brake on.

Tools are removed some nights but they spend most of there time in other ppls homes while I'm working there. I do worry about thieving bastards but its well secured at night with a good alarm. All tools insured.

It's a LWB sprinter that will take a 4.1m worktop straight in the back which is very important for me. I've setup a peg system to holed them in place

You win! That's one sexy van.  My hat goes off to you guys overseas, your way ahead of most professional carpenters in the states. Being in the trade for over 20 years ,I  can't remember ever seeing a serious,clean,well thought out set up(like this one)from guys here in the u.s.a. Hope I don't offend anyone but its true. Most cabinet/carpenters today i come in contact with dont take pride in there work or there tools,unfortunately. Not quite sure why?

  That is one HUGE VAN, sooooooooooooooooo well done. Congratulations.

I know what you mean, but I've seen some seriously beautiful garage workshops of both woodworkers and mechanics.

Thanks guys,

I think my obsession with being tidy and organised come for the guy I trained with many years ago. He kept his van like a s*it tip and it was my job to find things which took me ages. I can't say I know where everything is straight away but it'll only take a few minutes

Hears my festool van set up (yes I do need a bigger van)[attachimg=#]

 

[MAK]

Hey roadkilled, did we work for the same guy? When i first started work the bosses van was a skip, tools, sarnies, rubbish everywhere! Couldn't stand it.  Now i have to keep my van tidy every day  And you know what, it saves time, i know where everthing is.

Like the idea of worktop pegs. 

I've got mwb transit, couldn't fit a sprinter that long on my drive.

 

[Deansocial]

Still not finished mine yet, might be getting new van jan/feb next year so sort of holding off now

 

[honeydoman]

wow that is awesome !  great clean set up
