Information on the document
Caution!
Injury from lifting too heavy a load
The van racking system may be too heavy for one person, depending on the configuration. This
could result in minor injuries.
•Installation should be carried out by two persons.
•Ensure a safe working environment; park the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
•If the vehicle is to be driven off normal roads, all screw connections need to be fitted
using an appropriate screw locking tool.
•When installing the van racking system, make sure that all existing service access points
(e.g. first-aid box, spare wheel) remain accessible after installation.
Information!
Depending on the configuration, several van racking systems are included in the delivery. We
recommend that you install them separately from each other.
Important!
Ensure that the specified screw fixing torques are adhered to.
M5 = 4 Nm ±10%
M6 = 7.5 Nm ±10%
M8 = 20 Nm ±10%
If other torques are required, they are specified in the instructions!
Intended use
The Sortimo “Globelyst” van racking system is designed for use in vans / panel vans due to its
durability.
The rack system is used to transport and store a wide variety of tools and materials.

Safety markings
Caution!
Dangerous situations cannot be avoided if safety markings are illegible or missing from the product.
•Make sure every day that all safety labels are visible on the product.
•Replace a safety marking if it is missing or illegible.
Adhesive labels
There are adhesive labels affixed at various points in the vehicle. These adhesive labels act as guides.
The adhesive labels must be legible; if they are not legible, they must be replaced.
Securing of load
This safety label can be found in the vehicle’s cargo
area. It contains instructions for securing cargo with ProSafe
lashing straps.
•If cargo is lashed to the side of the van racking, the cargo
must be in contact with the floor. In addition, the weight of the
load must not exceed 150 kg.
•The lashing points are resilient to a maximum of 200 daN.
•If cargo is lashed on the SoboPro, the distance between the
load and the lashing point must not exceed 15 cm.
•Only use designated lashing points.
•The lashing hooks of a lashing strap must be fastened to
lashing points of the same element.
oExample: If the first lashing hook is attached to the
floor, then the second lashing hook must be
attached to another lashing point of the floor.
Caution!
Braking, accelerating, taking bends or swerving causes forces on the cargo. An unsecured load
can topple over or slip.
•Secure all objects in the cargo area against tipping and slipping.
•Secure cargo inside the van racking with a tight fit.
•Use dividers and anti-slip mats inside drawers and shelves.
•Check that the load is secure before setting off every time.
Observe the applicable laws in accordance with StVO §22, 23 and StVZO §30, 31 relating to load
securing.

Gas transport
Risk of suffocation/explosion
Danger!
If gas cylinders are transported without the specified ventilation and air extraction equipment,
leaking gas can cause suffocation, poisoning or an explosion in the cargo area!
•According to legal regulations, vehicles that transport gas cylinders must be equipped
with ventilation and air extraction equipment.
•It is not permitted to transport gas cylinders if there is no ventilation and air extraction
equipment that meets the legal requirements installed in the mobile workshop.
The law requires there to be vehicle ventilation when transporting gas cylinders.
The ventilation and air extraction must not be blocked (not even temporarily) or closed through
other measures! There is risk of explosion and suffocation!

drawer stays securely closed and free of torsion even when fully loaded. The drawers’ telescopic
slides have a lock that prevents open drawers from closing by themselves when the vehicle is
standing inclined.
Opening:
•Pull drawer (A) out by the recessed grip (B); drawer is unlocked.
•Pull out drawer (A) completely past the tangible resistance; drawer is stopped.
Closing:
•Completely close drawer (A) by pressing it lightly.
Telescopic slides load-carrying capacity per drawer 30 kg / 60 kg / 90 kg
The maximum load-carrying capacity is indicated on the left and right sides, on the telescopic slide
(C).
