Van Storage

Van Storage Solutions for Tradesmen at HSE Store

Van Thefts in the UK

Van thefts are a rising concern in the UK, especially for tradespeople who rely on their vehicles for daily work. According to the Office for National Statistics, there has been a significant increase in van thefts, with over 30,000 vans stolen between 2020 and 2023. Many of these thefts target tools and equipment, resulting in substantial financial losses. It’s estimated that tradesmen lose over £100 million annually due to van thefts, which include not only the value of stolen tools but also the downtime caused by the loss. For self-employed individuals and small business owners, the impact can be devastating, leading to job cancellations, reputation damage, and costly replacements.

Why It's Important to Have Secure Tool Storage

Securing your tools is not just about protecting your investment; it’s about safeguarding your livelihood. The contents of your van represent both the tools of your trade and the reliability of your business. If tools are stolen, it can take days or even weeks to replace them, leading to delays that can harm customer trust. This is why secure van storage solutions are essential. Investing in robust, tamper-proof van storage boxes and drawers ensures that your valuable equipment remains safe even when your vehicle is unattended. In a time where opportunistic thefts are on the rise, having properly secured storage gives you peace of mind, knowing that your tools are protected by industry-leading security systems.

Secure Tool Boxes & Drawers

At HSE Store, we offer a comprehensive range of secure van storage solutions from trusted brands like Van Vault and Armorgard. Whether you need a simple standalone tool box or a more integrated drawer system, we have the right solution to meet your needs.

• Van Vault Tool Boxes: Ideal for tradesmen who need a versatile, standalone storage solution. Available in various sizes such as the Van Vault XL and Van Vault Mobi, these boxes provide heavy-duty security, reinforced by multiple locking points and anti-pry lids. These boxes are best suited for smaller vans or for those who prefer flexible storage they can easily remove from their vehicle.
• Van Vault Drawers: Designed for tradesmen with more specific organisational needs, our Van Vault drawers such as the Van Vault Slider and Slim Slider offer modular solutions that can fit neatly under van shelving. These units are bolted to the van floor, providing additional security. The drawer system allows easy access to tools without having to remove the entire unit, ideal for busy professionals on the go.
• Armorgard Tool Boxes & Storage Units: Armorgard offers a more industrial solution, with their tool boxes and van storage units featuring extra-durable construction and higher weight capacities. Products such as the Armorgard TuffBank range come in various sizes, allowing tradesmen to choose the right fit for their specific van layout. These units are built with corrosion-resistant materials and tamper-proof locks, making them a superior choice for those looking for long-lasting protection.

The key to an effective van storage setup is to find the right balance between accessibility and security. Many of the boxes and drawers we stock at HSE Store can be used together, creating a modular setup that provides both security and efficiency. Smaller tools can be kept in portable tool boxes, while larger or frequently used items can be easily accessed from a secure drawer unit. This layered approach ensures that every inch of your van’s storage space is optimised.
