SteelPods

A SteelPod is a versatile and secure metal unit designed to be installed in the back of your van, transforming it into a multi-functional space. It features fully extending rear drawers that provide easy access to your belongings without the need to climb in and out of your vehicle. The top of the SteelPod doubles as an integrated sliding bed, allowing you to convert your van into a comfortable day van where two people can sleep.

The SteelPod begins with a robust metal frame that is securely attached to the lashing points commonly found in the rear of vans. Both the bed and the drawers are then firmly secured to this frame, ensuring stability and durability.

Key Features of SteelPod:

Fully Extending Drawers: Safe and easy access to your belongings.
Integrated Sliding Bed: Converts your van into a day van for comfortable sleeping.
Secure Metal Frame: Attaches to existing lashing points in your van for added stability.
One of the cheapest, quickest and longest-lasting ways to convert your van into a day van.
Benefits of SteelPod:

Maximise your van’s storage space.
Your items are hidden from view and there are options for locking drawers
Utilise for work, holiday and family
Options to integrate cookers and bike mounts

The new full-width VW Transporter SteelPod fits most T5, T5.1, T6 and T6.1 models.

This is different to the original SteelPod in the following ways:

The bed is now full-width and therefore compatible with most mattresses that are widely available (mattress not provided)
The side shelves and cubby storage have disappeared to make way for the full-width bed
The frame and drawers are about 2cm narrower, but the bottom drawer retains its generous depth and is big enough for most toolboxes.
This SteelPod converts your VW Transporter into a useful work van, family bus and campervan.

For work, you will be impressed by the two lockable steel drawers that can carry over 400kg between them. Timbers and long items can be secured to the bed surface using the built-in lashing points on the SteelPods Frame.

For the family, the fullest of shopping trolleys will easily fit in the bottom drawer and still slide with ease. The family dog no longer needs a cage and will love traveling on the bed behind the rear seats. He can be secured to the drawer handles.

For Holidays, camping and BBQs, the timber inserts that rest on the top drawer provide a useful area, where you rest a stove or insert a fitted stove into the timber itself.

SteelPods are powder-coated and designed to last.

SteelPods fit most T5, T5.1, T6 and T6.1 VW Transporter models.
