Offside or nearside?
Bird's-eye view of a typical UK right-hand-drive van, with the standard single nearside sliding door.
The longer run
The offside normally has no door breaking it up, so it takes the longest continuous racking run — the best wall for long items and full-height units.
Choose: Offside Only
Around the side door
The sliding load door splits this wall, so the nearside kit is modular fore and aft of the aperture, keeping loading access clear.
Choose: Nearside Only
Racking both walls? The Full Kit covers offside and nearside together.
Ford Transit Custom floor dimensions from manufacturer/reference data; offside and nearside run widths from StowPro kit specifications. 2024-on figures are the new-shape van — kits currently cover the standard (H1) roof; with the load-through hatch the floor extends to 3,050 mm (L1) / 3,450 mm (L2). Kits for the new shape are for the panel van: crew van kits for the 2024-on Transit Custom and the 2025-on Transporter T7 are not available yet, and the crew kits listed here fit the earlier shape only.
Ford Transit Custom racking — common questions
What length racking fits in a Ford Transit Custom L1 on the offside?
On a 2012–2024 Ford Transit Custom L1 the StowPro Offside kit runs 2,000 mm of shelving along the 2,554 mm load floor; on the 2024-on shape it runs 2,100 mm along a 2,602 mm floor.
The offside (driver's side) has no door breaking it up, so it takes your longest run before the rear doors. For this side only choose the Offside Only kit; for both walls choose the Full Kit — and pick the kit for your van's shape, 2012–2024 or 2024 on.
How long is the load area in a Ford Transit Custom?
The 2012–2024 Ford Transit Custom load length is 2,554 mm on the L1 and 2,921 mm on the L2; the 2024-on shape is longer at 2,602 mm (L1) and 3,002 mm (L2), measured along the floor.
Load width is 1,775 mm (1,777 mm on the 2024-on van), narrowing to 1,351 mm between the wheel arches — 1,392 mm on the 2024-on van. StowPro build a kit for each body and shape, so you match the rack to your exact van.
Do I need the nearside or offside racking kit for my Ford Transit Custom?
Choose the Offside (driver's side) kit for the longest uninterrupted run, the Nearside (passenger side) kit to rack around the sliding door, or the Full Kit to fit out both walls.
On the Ford Transit Custom the standard sliding load door is on the nearside, so that side is split into shorter modules while the offside takes the longer run. Most trades kitting out a whole van take the Full Kit.
Will racking fit between the wheel arches in a Ford Transit Custom?
Yes — there's 1,351 mm between the wheel arches on the 2012–2024 Ford Transit Custom, and 1,392 mm on the 2024-on shape; StowPro units are sized to sit within that width.
Above the arches the load area opens out to around 1,775 mm, so upper shelves can be wider than the floor-level base.
How much headroom is there for tall racking in a Ford Transit Custom?
The 2012–2024 Ford Transit Custom offers H1 1,406 mm / H2 (high roof) 1,778 mm of internal load height; the 2024-on shape sits lower inside at around 1,267 mm with the standard roof.
Check your roof code before choosing full-height shelving — the standard roof takes less than the high roof, and the 2024-on kits currently cover the standard (H1) roof.
Can I still carry long items past the racking in a Ford Transit Custom?
Yes, at floor level — StowPro racking sits against the wall and leaves the load floor clear, and if your Ford Transit Custom has a load-through hatch, long items can pass through the bulkhead at floor level.
The load-through length quoted by the manufacturer only applies at the floor with the hatch open; higher up the bulkhead intrudes, so plan around the floor length and don't count on resting long items on top of the racking.
Will fitting racking reduce my Ford Transit Custom payload?
Racking uses some of the Ford Transit Custom's payload, but StowPro units are built from lightweight load-rated steel to keep that to a minimum.
Fit only the side(s) you need (Offside, Nearside or Full Kit) and keep heavy stock low and central to protect your remaining payload and handling.
What's the longest item I can carry down the side of a Ford Transit Custom?
Long items travel at floor level in a Ford Transit Custom: the load length — 2,921 mm on a 2012–2024 L2, or 3,002 mm on the 2024-on L2 — is measured along the floor, and StowPro racking sits against the wall so the load floor in front of it stays clear.
Don't plan on carrying a full-length item on top of the racking — higher up the bulkhead and cab seats intrude, so the usable length above the floor is shorter than the floor figure. The offside kit itself runs 2,250 mm (2012–2024) or 2,500 mm (2024 on) along the wall; tell us your body and roof and we'll confirm what fits.
