Why Our Van Shelving Stands Out: Plywood Strength Meets Tradie Functionality
When it comes to kitting out your van, not all shelving is created equal. At Lawson Automotive, we’ve taken a different approach — using premium plywood and a carpet-lined finish to create shelving systems that are strong, quiet, customisable, and built to last.
Whether you’re an electrician, plumber, HVAC tech, or all-rounder, our slide-out shelving and fixed shelving options are designed to make your workday easier — and your van more organised than ever.
🌲 Built from Plywood, Not Plastic
Most van shelving systems on the market are made from steel or plastic. Ours? We use marine-grade plywood for unbeatable strength, flexibility, and a natural finish that’s gentler on your gear.
✅ No rattles, no squeaks — the carpet lining keeps tools and containers quiet on the move
✅ No sharp edges to damage your tools or gear
✅ Eco-friendly option compared to plastics and metal-heavy builds
