Check out my new Transit. I was told that a Prochem Machine could not be installed.
Goodrich Cleaning Supplies in Youngstown Ohio made a frame that fits perfectly. It worked so well that he is making them to distribute to all Prochem dealers. Should be available in a week or so. Same designed to fit Everest, Peak GTX or Apex GTX.

That was probably the easiest fix to show all these crybaby naysayers that keep fighting the idea of these new up-to-date vans.

How many times did we say it here on the board that it's easy just slap a frame underneath and you're good to go.

What's funny is that Cobb and others say "nah you can't install blah blah blah " and I'm driving around seeing these Transits and Promasters all over the place.

Not sure, it comes in gas too?

I'd think I'd have rino-lined the floor or rino-lined and then put down plywood over the floor before they did the install.

Not only will it provide a smooth surface to work out of but you'd also have rust protection, sound dampening and a little extra insulation from the cold.

Does anyone have the weigh limits for this van handy?
The one ton is 3800 pounds. There is a configuration I believe that allows 4000. Compared to the promaster 1/2 ton Which has a payload of 3800 pounds also. Weird.

I think others like myself said "Prochem Said you cant install it". Not you cant ever. Personally I clarified with Prochem was trying to find a Subframe manufacturer and until they did they said you couldnt install it.

We usually do the whole floor in plywood and then carpet it (shut up Marty!).

It gives you an nice flat surface for your knees, equipment and tools. We rino or bullhide the floor and up the walls a foot or so to protect from rust and corrosion. We all know its going to get wet, so why not address it at the beginning.

Make it so much quieter too! Well worth the extra expense in my opinion.

This is one of our box vans, it doesn't have the plywood floor because it already had a plant wood floor to begin with.

We just lined it and she was ready to throw the unit in.
