Level Up Your Mobile Setup
In 2025, the tradie van is more than just a ride — it’s a rolling toolbox, workshop, and showroom in one. And with job margins tighter than ever, your setup can either hold you back or push you forward.
Here are 5 must-have upgrades to keep you competitive this year:
1. Van Shelving Systems
At the top of the list: van shelving solutions built to last. These aren’t basic racks from the hardware store. We’re talking laser-cut, powder-coated steel or lightweight alloy setups built to suit your trade.
Benefits:
-
Customisable to your workflow
-
No tool hunting
-
Maximised payload efficiency
2. Collapsible Storage Buckets
Small but mighty. 3DPro’s collapsible storage buckets are a top seller for good reason — compact, sturdy, and ready to handle messy jobs or small parts.
They’re the ultimate modular add-on for any van or ute tray setup.
3. LED Strip Lighting
Light is productivity. Installing energy-efficient LED strips inside your van helps you stay sharp on early starts and late finishes. No more fumbling with a phone torch at 6am.
4. Lockable Drawers
If you’re storing power tools or high-value gear, don’t cut corners. Heavy-duty, lockable drawers provide that added layer of security without sacrificing ease of access.
5. Modular Racking
You’re not just carrying tools — you’re carrying materials, ladders, boxes, and more. Flexible, modular design allows you to tweak your setup as your trade evolves.
Invest Once. Win Every Day.
These aren’t just gadgets — they’re business multipliers. Every upgrade to your van setup pays you back in time saved, gear protected, and clients impressed.
