Contractor van tour. Super organized and always ready!

Take a look at how we built out our ever evolving transit 250 van.We are general contractors in California and we are always on the go. This means we have to be ready for just about everything and it’s all about efficiency. Staying organized helps us complete jobs faster and better then most. We have some cool tool organization and some good info on the van itself. Hope you like it and of course any questions drop us a comment. Thanks

Every time I've hired someone who's name is on their own truck that truck was a mess I've regretted it. It boils down to if they don't have pride in their own equipment then they won't take pride in the work they do in my home. These guys are welcome to bid anything my wife can dream up to change our house yet again.

Nice set up I like it

[@miguelquiroz1550]

Looks nice. Great work.

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Good to see other contractors using the Dewalt tough system rack. I have it in my trailer. Great use of space.

[@markman63]

Renovations and Repair he said that he welded the rack himself

[@Lewdacris916]

Milwaukee packout is way better lol, team red for life

[@ziggysrefurbs1885]

Very nice setup mate. I'm also a dewalt man and I made my own framework for the toughsystem boxes. Much cheaper than the proper dewalt van racking. One thing I don't get regarding the vans I see you guys have in the states is no bulkhead separating the cab from the back if the van. All vans in the UK come with a bulkhead. Imagine being in a crash and all those lose tools and materials launched at you. Great video, organisation is key.

[@4seeableTV]

However, in the UK, your large trucks (or lorries) have the cab right over the engine. The occupants aren't going to fair well in any head-on collision. Our large trucks have that immense engine out front, taking all the force of a crash.

[@ziggysrefurbs1885]

@@4seeableTV that's a fair point just don't know what it's got to do with van safety and bulkheads?

[@KansasHVAC]

Yeah this is a good setup but no Bulkhead is a huge oversight. I wouldn't make my worst enemy drive that van due to the lack of safety.

[@jimthesoundman8641]

@@KansasHVAC I agree, plus if you have a bulkhead, it's much quieter, and it cools down in the summer or heats up in the winter SO much faster.

[@1minibee]

The only (highly recommended) thing your missing is that bulkhead/divider. You won't know how important they are until you slam on your breaks and stuff flight out of the back.. in some states, they are required for professionals.

[@stephensbrothersconstructi7294]

Our plan was to have one and 4 years later still nothing. Definitely would be nice.

[@ny2la2day]

This looks like the best one out there

[@arthuryan6955]

Hello, I also work as a builder, I specialize in home interior design, I love good tools too, but after watching your video I admired the wonderful arrangement of so many wonderful tools, I only have a few tools, if I had so many tools I would just one of my dreams, I wish you success in your work, thanks for such a good video

Super impressive!

Few daysi and dad bought a dodge van and i am looking for ideas and I really loved the way hownyou hang tue boxes thx man🙏

[@mikegoodwin4632]

Nice setup! Great idea with the track and thew tool hanging! Going to have to borrow those for mine! Great job!!

[@MrShtsweak]

It nice that the desalt boxes can be removed from the middle of a stack vs my Milwaukee pack outs. Thanks for the tour. I’m definitely getting one of these bad boys.

[@stephensbrothersconstructi7294]

The van is definitely one of our best investments. The tough system is awesome but there’s some things that could be better on them. I think the new ones address some of it.

[@paulhaworth1824]

That's spot on mate

[@milosjansa9514]

Good job man! I am also a contractor and DeWalt guy btw, and this is awesome, really nice and well organized, now I am jealous that you have a larger van ;-)

Incredible! I was hoping to get your opinion I am going to start my mobile business and will be totally invested I was looking to purchase used largest commercial van with a small sink toilet combo with a custom Murphy bed built in roof or somewhere easily hidden as I will be investing all of me into this idea. Could you give some recommendations to me? I'm seeing these new luxury customizable vans 180k starting out!!! No way!!! I have done a lot of homework gather financials and shopping the markets and think I could get a vehicle with my ideas rolling 25-30k looking professional as well as if I had purchased a 180k commercial van is this something you think could be attainable

Do you use a VAN RACK SYSTEM or WORKSHOP RACK SYSTEM? The VAN was discontinued, and I saw that WORKSHOP have weak arm brackets.

[@JuanaWatchDaWorldBurn]

Nice setup, bro...do u also haul materials in that van? How does ur tools stay so clean?

[@stephensbrothersconstructi7294]

Yes wew haul some material with this setup but we also have trucks and trailers. The tools we are very particular about as far as keeping them clean and taking care of them. Dont get me wrong we throw them toss them drop them but always take care of them for the most part.

[@PSModernKitchens]

That’s nice… what size square tubing is that? 1”?

[@stephensbrothersconstructi7294]

Yes

[@chuthugad1]

Do you think the extra long extended version of the van was necessary or could you do without it? I'm undecided on which I need

[@stephensbrothersconstructi7294]

We personally couldnt do without it. We like to slide mouldings, plywood and all kinds of stuff in our van, so I would recommend extended.

[@kennethbfisher8035]

Awesome do you have the specific on the rack you built for the deWalt boxes ? Thanks

[@crouton976]

Nice setup, my dude. I'm currently looking for a van and getting ideas to build it out. I may steal a few of yours. Also, if you'd be up for it, it looks like you might be near me. If you'd ever like to meet up for a beer and to talk shop, I'd love to make some good connections with other guys in the trade around here (I moved here from Atlanta about a year ago and am still trying to meet new folks).
