Electricians: Upfits & Conferences

Posted on May 21, 2013 by admin

Electricians | Van Upfits | Electrical Contractor ConferencesAdrian Steel offers a large selection of upfit packages designed specifically for Electric Repair Contractors.

Electricians must be organized in order to complete a job on time, and in a professional manner.  If you can’t find the parts you need, or if you can’t find those parts fast enough, your work – and reputation – will suffer.

We understand.  You have an office on wheels, a vehicle that needs to be upfitted properly, so that you can do your job right.  That’s where Adrian Steel comes in.

Upfits for Electricians

If you’re like most professional electricians, whether commercial or residential, you have a lot of tools, materials, and parts.  You have small parts, like connectors, fittings, and light bulbs.  You have a variety of tools, like screwdrivers, cable lacing needles, and wire cutters.  You haul conduit and wire spools.  Your job involves a lot of different parts to get the job done.

That’s why you need organization.

Small Parts

Electricians, we’ve got you covered.  We know you carry tons of small parts, parts that are easy to misplace or lose.  But with our Lock ‘n Latch system, we offer plenty of ways for you to keep your stuff together.

Shallow Drawer Cabinet:  Part of our Lock ‘n Latch system, this cabinet is a series of four shallow drawers, perfect for organizing small parts.  The drawers measure 2.5” deep and come with ABS divided and removable trays.  This is perfect for connectors, fittings, and screws.

Wire

You carry wire with you everywhere, all the time.  How easy is it for you to access, quickly?  How fast can you find it in the back of your van?  Our Wire Reel Holder solves your problems.

5-Bar Wire Reel Holder:  Get 5 removable bars that can hold wire spools up to 6” in diameter.  Now all your wire is organized, in one place, and extremely easy to access.

Bigger Tools

For your bigger tools, we offer the ADseries 44” Shelf Unit.  This shelving unit allows you to organize the bigger tools you transport in an easy-to-find manner.  These shelves are extremely strong and durable, able to stand up to your toughest jobs.  There is even a six inch knock-out at the bottom, to give you 48” of extra floor space.

Upfit Packages

Not sure what you need?  Don’t worry, we offer plenty of options.  Check out Adrian Steel’s full range of Upfit Packages for Electricians.  These packages were put together with products that make sense for electricians specifically.
