I'm not at the office right now so I can't take a shot of the van's interior. But here's what's typically inside the van on most days... One Cimex, one X-Vac, and a rolling cart with buckets and whatnot. There are also a few boxes of FiberPlus pads. There's also an Oreck Orbiter stashed in the corner. There's a chemical jug shelf on each wall. And there's a safety bulkhead separating the back from the front. There's a ramp. And there's a Zebra Brush and a Drill Driver set up. That's about it.
When we need to do a large upholstery job or perform HWE we'll toss in an extractor. When we need to do floor care, we'll load floor care equipment. We also service a monthly account in a large office building where we vacuum with a BackPack vacuum, and at that point we'll toss in the ProTeam. And sometimes we'll have a large job that requires multiple machines, so we'll load a couple of extra scrubbers for those jobs.
As you can see, our normal layout is pretty basic - traveling light. But when the jobs call for additional stuff there's still enough room to add some extra pieces. Works for us.

Yep I can easily fit a 20"-24" battery scrubber alongside a 21" burnisher for VCT service work. When doing carpet or tile and grout, all my machines easily fit. Even stripping VCT I can fit 24" strip machine, scrubber, barrels, chemicals, blowers, etc. And have been able to do fairly large jobs. Where it becomes a little small is stripping large vct , where we need a lot of chemical, extra blowers, larger strip machine, etc. Also it is too small when you have multiple tasks: ex. Need to do carpet and tile work at same job.
That being said, its important to be creative with the space you have as it is considerably less than in a full size van.

Thank you gentlemen. All of this info has been very helpful to me. Just bought a new Transit. Time to set it up!

I am using a folding ATV ramp for my Dodge Ram Van 1500 - specifically ~ Lund 602004 Bi-Fold 69" Loading Ramp, 1500-Pound Capacity. It slides and stores underneath my Rubbermaid supply cart and a small shelf I built behind the cart. Sort of heavy, sort of awkward - but very strong.

Bought the ramp that Rick recommended. It's perfect for our needs. Rick-Positive review left on ES website.
