Auckland Renovator Gets Straight to Work
When you’re running a renovation business in Auckland, there’s no time to waste. For Peter Cairns, getting his brand-new Toyota Hilux work-ready was a top priority—he needed storage that could keep up with a busy schedule and evolving equipment needs.
Ready to Work, Fast
Peter had just purchased his new Hilux and was keen to hit the ground running. Off-the-shelf storage solutions didn’t quite fit the bill—he wanted drawers that were robust, practical, and flexible enough to handle all his gear. Most importantly, he needed them quickly.
Contractor Ute Drawers with Extra Capacity and Customisation
Peter chose the Contractor Ute Drawers from Workvan, opting for the larger 315mm drawer height to easily accommodate his bulkier tools and equipment. Because the drawers are built from durable plywood, Peter was able to easily customise them to suit his unique storage needs. He modified the sides of the drawers, allowing him to store items in the space between the drawers and the tub sidewalls—making use of every bit of available room for longer or awkwardly shaped gear.
What really stood out? The speed of service. From placing his order to hitting the road, Peter had his drawers installed and ready in just two days.
Here’s what Peter had to say after the install:
“Thanks Evan & the team at Work Van, Great drawers! Great price! And with 2-day turnaround after ordering, great service!”
More Time on Site, Less Time Searching for Tools
With his new high-capacity, custom-modified drawer system, Peter is now able to:
Access all his tools and materials quickly—no more digging through clutter in the back of the ute
Keep everything secure and organised for both small repairs and major renovations
Fit even his largest gear, thanks to the extra-deep 315mm drawers
Utilise every bit of space, including the area between the drawers and the tub sidewalls, thanks to his custom modifications
Easily adapt his setup, since the plywood construction is simple to modify for any future needs
Focus on the job, not on sorting gear, with a setup tailored exactly to his needs
