New Install vehicle

Currently we are using a trailer with single sided racks on each side of the trailer.

We are looking at something like a Sprinter or a cubevan. My dumb question is how do you mount the racks on the side going over the wheel wells. Should I just be thinking about building some kinda frame underneath so that my racks have clearance over the wheel wells.?

Thanks

If you raise the frame you will loose overall height restricting the size of pieces. I have been looking into the Nissan commercial vans. I like the leg room for it.

The wheel wells do do not stick out too far. I think you could use a built in A frame or do as we do, use a Weha frame and load every job by the frame,(it is much quicker).

How do you get the pieces out when you load the whole frame? Can you still use a pull out ramp?

We walk on the frame and wheel well. we don't use a ramp (the deck is only 18" from the ground).

Mike, you are a member,go into the members area and click on "Sprinter Pics". I just posted them last week. It will show you how to fab the A frames over the wheel wells.
