LIGHTWEIGHT + DURABLEThe 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
