Organizing Your Chevy Work Van

When organizing your Chevy van, you will want to first create a foundation. Bigger items will need to be stored low, while smaller items will be up top. As an example, if your business requires something like a generator or cleaning machine, you will want to be sure to have the equipment at a lower level than such items as simple cleaning solutions.  The key to successful van organization is to always think vertically and position based on size and weight.

When it comes to inventory management it’s all about having a place for everything, and everything in its place. Depending on your business you may want to invest in some locking storage bins or containers that make storing items easier as well as safer. Labeling these containers is also helpful. Also don’t be afraid to use every inch of space you have, including the doors and ceiling for smaller items like hammers or scissors, but be sure to make sure all items are secure where they are. Adding a few permanent organization fixtures like a workbench or tool holder may also be an easy way to keep everything organized.

While the general foundation is all about the vertical, the item management is all about the horizontal and making loading and unloading quick and efficient. Items you use more or will be using sooner should be near the doors, while items you only use on occasion can be stored farther back. This may sound simple, but depending on your items this could be like playing a round of professional level Tetris. Just be sure to prioritize size going up and use going back, and you should be in good shape.

Another thing your Chevy work van may require is additional lighting. You can never have too much visibility when it comes to locating a certain item or going on a late night delivery. Lighting is fairly easy to find and should be a fairly simple addition to your van.

Running a business can be a messy ordeal at times, so you must be sure regularly clean your van. No one wants to work in a smelly, dirty, and cluttered van, and no one wants their items to become impacted by a lack of cleanliness; this is not only gross but completely unprofessional. You will want to air out your Chevy work van often, give it a light cleaning every week or so, and a heavy clean once a month that requires removing all items. In order to keep up with the cleanliness though, you will also want to have a trash container, sanitizing wipes, freshener, and a duster in your van at all times for daily touch-ups.
