The bott Smartvan system is designed for simple DIY installation. It attaches to existing mounting points in your van, so you do not need to drill holes or use special tools. Most users can install the racking themselves using standard hand tools.

The installation follows simple, step-by-step instructions and usually starts by loosely assembling the frame and brackets, then tightening everything once aligned. Each shelf and accessory is easy to fit and can be adjusted for your needs. The bott Smartvan system is highly customizable—shelves, boxes, and accessories can be arranged and reconfigured as your storage requirements change.

Installation of the bott Smartvan shelving system for a standard van typically takes 2 to 4 hours for a DIY installer, depending on the van model, size, and the chosen configuration. This timeframe covers unpacking, assembling the frame, properly aligning the brackets, and final tightening of all components. Larger vehicles or more complex setups may take longer but the process and provided information are designed for efficient installation - using only standard hand tools, with no drilling required. Most users can complete the job in a single day even for complex setups.

Cargo items that are not secured safely can pose as safety hazards, especially in the events of sudden braking or collisions. Storing tools and items in a van racking system that is specifically configured for them, not only provides improved load security, but also creates a convenient space for organisation - minimising the risk of minor injuries from unnecessary rummaging in the load area of a poorly organised van. bott Smartvan van racking undergoes rigorous crash testing, under EU ECE / R17 standards and regulations, meaning you can feel safer no matter the circumstances.

Every van manufacturer incorporates fixing points within the floor, walls and ceiling of the load space of the van. bott Smartvan racking has been designed so that the van-specific fixing brackets fit directly to these points, eliminating any need to drill into the walls of the van.

We ship your van racking on a pallet inside a custom-made box to prevent damage in transit. As your order is delivered palletised, please ensure there is suitable access to your delivery address for a large delivery truck.
