Inside Our Custom HVAC Van Setup

Last year, Knapheide introduced a new generation of van equipment — check out this article to see how it improved on the previous design. They also launched updated, ready-to-use packages for different vans that work well for many trades, including HVAC.

But every job is a little different, and sometimes a custom setup makes more sense. That’s where Knapheide really shines — you can build a setup that fits the way you work, like the unique van shown at this year’s event.

It included a custom shelving configuration, storage solutions, a partition, various accessories and even third-party add-ons like a Compressed Air Systems air compressor, Reelcraft hose reel system and Legend flooring.
