Raised Floors & False Floors for Vans

Double your usable space with a raised floor. A raised floor (also called a false floor) creates a hidden storage layer under your load area — perfect for pipes, conduit, ladders, lengths of timber and anything long that usually ends up rolling around the van. Every floor is designed around your van and installed by our team at Team Valley, Gateshead.

What Is a Van Raised Floor?

A raised floor sits above your van’s original floor, supported on a frame, to create a second level of storage underneath. You keep a flat, solid load area on top while long or awkward items stay tucked away below — out of sight and secure.

Who Is a Raised Floor For?

• Plumbers & heating engineers — store copper pipe, plastic pipe and fittings flat and protected
• Electricians — conduit, trunking and cable drums kept off the floor
• Joiners & builders — timber lengths, levels and long tools out of the way
• Window fitters & roofers — trims, flashings and ladders stored safely
• Couriers & multi-drop — a clean flat floor on top, spares and kit below

Why Choose a Plyline Raised Floor?

• More storage, same van— use the space you already have
• Designed around your van — planned around your vehicle’s dimensions, wheel arches and access points
• Works with our racking — designed to sit alongside our plywood racking and ply lining kits
• Professionally installed — fitted by our experienced team at Team Valley, Gateshead

Pair It With Racking & Ply Lining

A raised floor works best as part of a full setup. Add plywood racking on top for everyday tools and a ply lining kit to protect your panels.

We have used this company numerous times over the years, for ply lining and roof rack installation. Always a fantastic service received, and very helpful staff throughout. Highly recommended.

Did a great job of ply lining my new van. I was going to buy a kit and do it myself but I'm glad I got these guys to do it. They did an amazing job and now my mobile workshop is really coming along. Very easy to deal with and friendly and accommodating. Cheers lads.

Fantastic service and great quality! Ordered drivers side shelving / racking for my 2018 transit connect, next day received a phone call to confirm vehicle year and fitment which was nice as most places would probably just send it out! The racking came fully built up on a pallet and it fits the van perfect, shame I didn’t order it sooner as it’s definitely made life easier to work out of the van now. Will definitely use again when I need to and will recommend 👍
