The present invention relates generally to and more particularly to a installers van to carry all the tools necessary for installing windows and doors.
The installation of doors and windows often requires installation tools which must be transported to the jobsite. Typically, this is accomplished by carrying the tools to the jobsite in a trailer connected to a truck. Of course, the truck and trailer system are difficult to learn how to drive and be confident and experienced to handle the truck and trailer. There is a great deal of stress experienced by the operator as they learn how to drive a truck with an attached trailer.
Operating a truck and trailer system adds ample amounts of stress with the associated operational risk such as driving, backing up, and proper connections.
Further there is a significant amount of financial liability associated with the higher cost of the trailer. Moreover, the trailer cannot always be parked in direct proximity to the jobsite. Also, a trailer isn't always capable of carrying all the installation tools necessary to complete any fenestration installation.
A van outfitted to carry all the tools necessary for installing windows and doors. The van includes a side opening door and a rear door to provide access to an interior of the van. The interior of the van is designed to house all of the tools needed to install the windows and doors. On opposite interior walls of the van, there are a plurality of studs and interconnecting braces to mount various tools.
