4 Tips For Organising Service Body Compartments

When you provide services to others, it is crucial that you exhibit a top-tier level of professionalism. It is common to see work utes with equipment all over the place, which can create a lousy impression for your company. The best solution for this is to install a full canopy service body on your work ute. This helps to keep all your tools, equipment and materials safe and secure from the elements and also from theft. However, the service body alone doesn’t keep your tools and equipment all nice and organised. You need to ensure there are the appropriate toolboxes and compartments to make sure everything remains properly organised.With this in mind, following are some ideas that will keep your vehicle service body organised and looking its best.

1). Keep The Most Used Items On The Bottom

The first thing to remember is that tools you frequently use should be placed on the top shelves of your compartments. Since you won’t really be reaching for them very often, this means that you will be putting less strain on your back. Organising things in this fashion means you will not have to reach high repeatedly, therefore reducing your chances of sustaining an injury.

2). Create Separation Between Tool Types

This is useful for more reasons than one. When you have similar tools in the same area, it means that you will find what you need more effortlessly. Imagine being able to work more efficiently and saving a bit of time each day instead of ripping your ute apart searching for tools. Another benefit of separating items that are not similar is that you will not have to worry about one tool causing damage to another. For instance, if some of your tools are fragile, placing them directly next to heavier items increases the chance that they will be damaged.As you already know, work tools can be very costly, so keeping things organised properly means that your tools will last longer, which means less strain on your finances as you don’t need to repair or replace your tools as often.

3). Purchase Foam

While larger, heavier items can cause problems, that does not mean that smaller tools cannot cause damage either. For this reason, it would be in your best interest to purchase some foam padding. This can be placed strategically between different levels and sections of your compartments. An example of using foam effectively would be placing it in between certain tools so they do not move when you are en route to jobs. This means that you won’t need to worry about breakage, scratches and other types of damage anymore.

4). Keep Your Tools Clean

This is integral to service body organisation. Regardless of all of the other pointers, you may not be seen as a total professional if you don't adhere to this tip. Everyone knows that service providers work hard and sometimes make a mess, but this does not mean that you should allow your service body to look like a disaster zone with all types of grime, dirt and other elements all over the place. Cleaning your tools as well as your service body will show everyone that you are reliable, hard-working and efficient. It will also increase the life of your equipment.

Final Thoughts

While it may seem like a great deal of information to add to your list of things to prioritise, following this advice means that you will always remain a step ahead of the competition. Now all you have to worry about is making sure that when you show up in your well-organised work ute, you will be ready to work and give your clients a service experience that will keep them coming back.
