VanTeriors Professional outfitting creates a safe functional truck Established in 1974, VanTerior assists owners and operators of service vehicles to organize the interiors of their vans. Whether you are a plumber, mechanical contractor or heating and air conditioning technician, the company offers configurations of shelving, drawers and racks oriented to your needs for most Ford, GM and Chrysler full-size vans and minivans. With a 51,000 square foot plant in Mississauga and distributors across Canada, VanTerior serves customers large and small, from leasing companies and their huge corporate clients to the one-man shop. “There’s not a day goes by that we don’t get small contractors showing up at our plant,” says Al Holley, the company’s Director of Marketing and Sales. For a small or medium-sized business, with one to 100 vehicles, process control is an important reason to consider an outfitting company like VanTerior. In response to the demands for quality and consistency placed upon them by the automakers, the company has evolved sophisticated systems to catch errors, measure progress, analyze procedures, and document everything. “We QC (quality control) every vehicle,” Holley says. Such rigour pays a dividend to all customers. “We have the best warranty in the business. We have a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty,” he notes. Quality control pays off in another surprising way. Because the automakers have faith in the company’s work, their customers can include VanTerior’s installations in their lease plan, meaning they can amortize the cost of the outfitting along with the cost of the vehicle. Safety is another reason to consider a professional outfitter. The components that VanTerior puts into vans are purpose-built and tested, Holley says. They are securely fastened and designed to In addition to its standard van and truck lines, VanTerior offers a complete line of shelving and accessories for the Unicell fiberglass-bodied van that is becoming popular with Canadian contractors. keep tools and materials from becoming missiles in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Among the many components VanTerior offers, every van owner should seriously consider at least two: The first is a strong partition between the cab and the cargo area. The other is a properly designed and fitted ladder rack to keep ladders where they are supposed to be and to discourage theft. The partition protects occupants of the van. Proper ladder racks protect people outside. Both may help cushion the van owner from liability claims should the van be involved in an accident, Holley says. VanTerior’s steel shelving, drawers and cabinets come in many shapes and sizes and are extremely durable. Other accessories include backup alarms, safety equipment, lights and cab organizers. Wire mesh screens for windows are available to guard against theft. A waterproof, non-slip floor system called DuraFloor, designed to provide a longlasting surface that resists chemicals and water, is a standard part of every installation. It protects the original floor, says Holley, improving the van’s resale prospects. The first thing that happens when a small contractor comes into VanTerior, Holley says, is that one of the sales specialists sits them down to discuss their needs. “They don’t know our range of products,” he continues. An important part of the process is showing them which components are right for their particular line of work. VanTerior will feature a plumbing and HVAC installation for Unicell’s Aerocell SRW Van Body at the CMX show. The fiberglass Aerocell provides more space and headroom at an affordable price, says Holley. The unit also has a space-saving flip-up rear door and a built-in skylight.
