Nice set up and nice video.
I would like to give some advise/warning.
I used to drive a truck like that,and i can tell you that those 3/4" lip you are planning to use to secure you tools is not going to do it.
Those truck can really rock side to side when you it a bump or turning or stopping fast.
When you were showing that yellow bin with just a small lip on the front,i started to smile and had memory recall!!! [eek]
I had about 15-20 of them and i learn very quick to screw them down!!!!
I'm sure you will find out soon
Good luck with it.

I don't understand the work flow. Seems like there's going to be a lot of going up and down. Your tricked out trailer makes more sense to me because everything was at ground level. Why is this van better than the trailer? It's like woodworking in a submarine.

If he really doesn't like it, you'll probably see it posted in the classifieds. [wink]

The 3/4" lip should be a 3" lip on a hinge so it flips down to take out tools and then snaps back up. The little yellow bins even if screwed down the contents are going to fly out with one big bump. Maybe you drive better than me but you should design for a lot of bouncing around. The yellow bins I would enclose and have either a hinged door to get at them or drawers.
As far as pulling a trailer that can be a nightmare, can't do that downtown Chicago, heck I could barley get a van parked so I get trying to get everything in the van. I always used my trailer to park on site in the places I could and wish my van had a set up like yours as well. Luckily, I only work in a shop now, with gas my prices would have to be pretty expensive!
Nice!

Nice setup!
One Question! You know how your kapex slides out to give your more space at the rear what stops it from sliding back wards again when your doing a cut wont it try and slide back when your push your saw to do a cut???

oh dear
i think jmb has a point [eek] [scared]
a few things that bother me are
then yellow boxs will either fall or allow the contents to spill.
your thicknesser (planer in the us) looks like it could come off of its shelf. maybe its held better than it looks
your dc system uses too many 90 degree bends.
shop is too small to keep up to that planer.
not enough capacity in the shop vac for the quantity of chips. a cyclone or thein baffel would help enourmously in that regard.
position of shop vac is a neusence . on the end would be better.
over all i think it has potential. not sure it would work well for jobsite with a spread out demand.

Ron,
First I want to thank you for posting and sharing all your ideas. I know home much time it takes to do the videos. You have had years of experience with transporting tools in your work area so I am sure that you know what works.
I am going to offer some thoughts after watching your video.
1. You might want to take a look at the upper cabinets on each side of the Kapex. Once I started to loose my hair I found that my head was attracted to every sharp corner. If it were mine, I might consider clipping those cabinets at a 45 to reduce the risk and also make it less claustrophobic. I know that there would a reduction in cabinet storage, but the first time I busted my head on a corner I would not be thinking about storage.
2. With that model planer and the limited dust / chip collection reservoir of the vacuum, perhaps think about making a port to the outside where you could insert a hose as required and then gravity feed into a trash can outside.
Rock on Ron!
Peter
