Ford Transit Custom Four-Drawer Fit-Out with Easy Access Slide and Side Shelf

A working van needs more than somewhere to put tools. The layout needs to make equipment easy to find and reach throughout the day. This Ford Transit Custom fit-out brings together drawer storage, a full-width Easy Access slide and a fixed shelf behind the driver's seat.

Three storage areas working together

  • Four drawers for organised equipment storage.
  • A full-width Easy Access slide above the drawers.
  • A fixed shelf behind the driver's seat, accessible through the sliding door.

The drawers provide separate storage spaces below the deck. The slide brings equipment stored above them towards the rear opening, while the side shelf gives another access point through the sliding door. It is a useful example of planning a trade van around how you reach your gear.

Plan access before adding equipment

When choosing a van layout, consider what you collect from the rear, what you need beside the sliding door, and what needs a shelf rather than a drawer. Shelving and slides need sufficient operating clearance, so their positions should be considered together.

Lawson systems are built to suit the vehicle and agreed layout. We confirm the van model, available space and fitting arrangement before manufacture.
