Hi.
Just ordered new van (Renault Trafic sport LWB) to replace current vehicle which was racked out for various power tools which have now all been replaced with festool.
I've even now got most hand tools in systainers and mft storage etc.
The only storage not festool is dewalt nailer, dewalt combo drill set (cxs pending) and my 4 stanley fat max deep organisers for screws etc.
I have read through lots of posts here on FOG re van racks and systainer racks etc and would like some feedback on the

Smallest size of drawer runners needed on a stack of systainers ie will 300mm full extension slides let me get boxes in and out etc?
Is it best to fix them on an angle sloping away from centre of van to stop the whole spilled contents scenario. I'm not favouring dowels in case they don't make it back into their holes. (Not me but my laddie!!(apprentice))?
Should I just sit them on fixed shelves?
 
If you are looking at putting your tlocs on runners you might want to look at push to open ones so you can put them in level . To save space between boxes vertically you could use aluminium angle fixed to your side panels to sit them on and easy to move if you want to change your configuration later.

Would self-closing drawer slides work as well as push to open?

Don't think they would work in a van as they would open if you went round a corner etc .

What about on MFT/3 cart that I am planning to build?  Would the self-closing work OK or should I exchange them for the push to open?

Either would/should work , if using self close you will need some sort of method to hold them shut in transit.
