Plumber Van Shelving & Storage Solutions
Australian-made van and ute fitouts for plumbing work: pipe carriers, vented gas cabinets, lockable drawers and modular shelving that grows with your business.
RolaCase designs and manufactures plumber van fitouts and plumbing van shelving systems for sole operators, plumbing contractors and fleet operators across Australia. Trade-founded in 1982 and manufacturing at Somersby NSW ever since, RolaCase understands how plumbers work: long pipe and conduit, brass fittings and valves, gas bottles, hoses, drain machines and wet gear all need secure, organised storage that survives daily site use. From universal driver-side and passenger-side van kits through to roof-mounted conduit carriers, vented gas cabinets, lockable metal drawers and modular RolaShelf shelving, every fitout is Australian-made and built to expand as your business grows.
Why Plumbers Need Proper Van Storage
A plumber's van carries more awkward loads than almost any other trade: long pipe, heavy drain machines, gas bottles, wet hoses and hundreds of small brass fittings. A practical plumbing van storage layout solves four daily problems:
Long pipe and conduit
PVC lengths and copper pipe do not belong loose on the van floor. A roof-mounted conduit carrier and ladder racks keep long materials secure, dry and out of the load area.
Brass fittings and small parts
Compartmented carry cases and shelving bins sort elbows, olives, valves and connectors by size, so nothing gets tipped out on the driveway looking for one fitting.
Gas bottles, stored properly
Fully sealed vented gas cabinets with external ventilation keep bottles secure and separated from the cabin, a must for any plumber carrying gas.
Heavy tools and wet gear
Lockable metal drawers carry drain machines and press tools at working height, and hard-wearing van flooring handles wet hoses and muddy boots.

Popular Vans and Utes for Plumber Fitouts
Most Australian plumbers run one of a handful of work vehicles. RolaCase manufactures vehicle-specific shelving kits for each van platform, and canopy systems for dual-cab utes, so storage fits precisely without on-site modification.

Plumber Van Fitout FAQs
What is the best van shelving for plumbers in Australia?
RolaCase builds plumbing van fitouts from Australian-made modular components: RolaShelf shelving, lockable metal drawers, compartmented carry cases for fittings, vented gas cabinets and roof-mounted conduit carriers for pipe. Universal driver-side and passenger-side kits fit Toyota HiAce, Ford Transit, Ford Transit Custom, Hyundai Staria, Mercedes Sprinter and other popular work vans. Use the vehicle configurator or enquiry form to confirm fitment for your exact model.
Can I buy plumbing van shelving and install it myself?
Yes. RolaCase van kits can be purchased online and shipped flat-packed anywhere in Australia. Kits include mounting hardware and instructions, and our technical team provides support throughout DIY installation. Professional installation is also available through our authorised fitter network.
Do you fit out utes as well as vans for plumbers?
Yes. Many Australian plumbers run a dual-cab ute with a canopy, and RolaCase supplies canopy shelving kits, metal drawer systems, lockable cabinets and gas bottle storage built for ute canopies and service bodies. Mixed van and ute fleets can be fitted to a common layout.
How much does a plumber van fitout cost?
Cost depends on your vehicle, kit scope and accessories selected. Shelving modules start from approximately $1,000 per side, and pre-configured driver-side kits start from around $2,300. Full fitouts with pipe carriers, gas cabinets and drawers are quoted individually. Submit a quote request for a price tailored to your van and storage requirements.
Can I carry gas bottles safely in my van?
Gas bottles should never travel loose in a work van. RolaCase manufactures fully sealed vented gas cabinets with external ventilation that keep bottles secure and separated from the cabin, plus strap-style bottle holders for utes and service bodies. Talk to our team about the right option for the bottles you carry.
Does RolaCase offer fleet pricing for plumbing contractors?
Yes. Fleet customers equipping multiple vehicles can access volume pricing, standardised fitout templates and coordinated installation through our Fleet Solutions team. Contact us with your fleet size, vehicle types and storage requirements for a fleet quote.
