Why is it important to equip your van?
Protects your van over time, professional, space-saving, and saves
you time and money.
To lengthen the life of your
working van
Thanks to paneling that
protects the original van body
from dents and rusting – and
thanks to the many ways to
keep cargo locked down and in
place during transit.
To increase your professionalism
on the job
Order is fundamental to
quickly finding what you want.
No need to keep customers
waiting while you are looking
for equipment and materials.
To make the most of
your van’s space
With custom conversions and
attention to every curve and
corner, you really make the
most of the space you have.
To save you TIME and MONEY
If you always have everything
right at hand, you are never
wasting time. And time, as you
know, is money.

5.
Who carries out the conversion?
Installations should be done by conversion installation experts – trained and experienced in the precise
planning and mounting of all the conversion components.
This ensures:
• Integrity of the van
• Safety during transport
• The long life of the
conversion
• Integrity of all installed
components

What does ORDER on your van mean:
Most workers calculate that on a non-equipped van, you lose an average of 30 minutes a day (if not more)
looking for equipment and materials in the chaos.
3. You don’t have to replace
‘lost’ tools
2. No wasted time looking for
things
1. Always finding what you need
With a conversion consisting of shelving and drawer units, lockers, wheel arch base and portable organizer cases,
everything has its place. It makes it easy to find things when you need them, and just as easy to put them back
when you’re finished.

Tips for keeping everything in order on your van
Besides the basics, Syncro has designed a series of measures to make keeping order on your van even easier.
Non-slip
rubber mats
Drawer and shelving units are
complete with non-slip
rubber mats and horizontal
dividers to subdivide drawers
for extensive storage of small
parts, tools and fittings.
Telescoping ball
bearing glides
All drawers are mounted on
telescoping ball bearing
glides, therefore sliding
smoothly and completely out,
without any wasted space
and with all the contents
easily visible and easy to
reach.
Clear plastic
containers
Also available, are clear
plastic drawers, containers
and organizer cases, allowing
all components to be easily
seen and retrieved.

tools, we guarantee order
and fast retrieval with our
tool racks.

12.
Converting your van means most importantly, PROTECTING IT.

doors, and ceiling come in
aluminum, steel or
alveolar plastic.
FLOOR AND BULKHEAD PANELS
Floor and bulkhead panels in
resin-coated, non-slip marine
plywood or chequered-plate
aluminum.

coverings for wheel arches
and windows.

dents, warping, and spilled liquids.

14.
LIGHTWEIGHT + DURABLE
The components for Syncro System vans are dominated by two main characteristics:
Lightweight components
allows you to load more
cargo without exceeding
your van’s maximum weight
limits.
Lighter weight components
also provide significant
savings in terms of fuel
consumption and vehicle
wear.
The more durable each
component is means that
you will incur less damage
and they will last longer.
Shelving, drawer units
and all Syncro racking
components are
designed using materials
(wood, high strength
steel, plastic, aluminum)
that are both incredibly
resistant and
lightweight.
How does lighter translate into savings?
MORE CARGO = LESS TRIPS BETWEEN SITE
AND WORKSHOP
LIGHTER THE WEIGHT = THE MORE YOU
SAVE
MORE DURABLE = DIMINISHED COSTS OVER
TIME
LIGHT LIGHT
STRONG

15.
3-year Warranty
Don’t worry about any possible defects: the warranty covers everything!
GUARANTEED OVER TIME
The modest amount needed to invest in converting your van will
be made back over a very short period of time from the
guaranteed savings from all these factors. And even more, Syncro
offers a 3-YEAR WARRANTY starting from the installation,
replacing any components that have any signs of being faulty.

16.
Financeable investment
The real costs of a Syncro conversion: not only can you finance your investment, but it pays you back fast.
The minimal expenses necessary to convert your van:
1. You can finance the costs: you can add them to the
finance or leasing plan that you chose to buy your
commercial van.
2. Your investment will pay you back quickly, thanks
to the great time and money savings that you will see
starting immediately.

IMPORTANTLY,
THE MONEY YOU

To completely transform your van with the Syncro
system, our expert technicians in our authorized
centers need a MAXIMUM OF ONE DAY!

your van into the center before it’s registered. That
way, we install everything BEFORE the paperwork

Reusabillity factor of Syncro components
The Syncro System van components are designed to be REUSABLE:
They are durable, and therefore last for years →
without breaking or ruining.01
02
03
04
Their LONG-LASTING DURABILTY goes far beyond
the life of commercial vehicle → so when you
change vans, you can install the old components
on your new van.
We make sure the external measurements remain
the same. This means that older pieces are
compatible with newer ones → So as you change
and make improvements and upgrades, you can
integrate and combine NEW elements to suit your
evolving needs. Or painlessly modify your system
to fit a new van.
All components are mounted with a SIMPLE
installation system that allows for both easy
mounting and dismounting of the pieces. → And if
you’re thinking about selling your old van, you
don’t have to worry about any damage done by
taking out the racking components.

Syncro Van Racking Equipment: intact after the Crash test
The van conversions done by Syncro System sport a key feature in the world of racking equipment for vans:
THEY PASSED THE CRASH TEST*!
What does that mean?
Even In the case of a serious accident, Syncro components
MAKE IT THROUGH. Slight bending may occur, but they do not
come unfixed and all components remain closed and locked.
The SAFETY of both the passengers and others on the road is
assured.
*Crash Test (ECE R17) was carried out at the prestigious TUV in
Cologne, Germany, consisting of a frontal impact against a
deformable barrier.
