5 custom features you can add to a mobile tech awning

When you’re working out of a van every day, having the right setup can make a big difference to your efficiency on the job. You need enough space to work, proper shelter when the weather turns, and a setup that works with your vehicle instead of getting in the way. An awning can give you that extra covered space, but when it’s built around how you work, it can do a whole lot more.

That’s where our mobile tech awnings come in. Every GH ProTek work van awning we create is designed and manufactured to suit your exact requirements, from its size and projection to how it’s mounted and how it looks. So, whether you’re working from a compact service van or running a larger mobile workshop, we can help you create an awning that fits your vehicle, supports the way you work and looks the part when you arrive on site.

Here are five ways you can customise a GH ProTek mobile tech awning to suit your van, your work and your business.

1. Choose a custom length for your mobile tech awning

Not every work van needs the same amount of cover, which is why we make our GH ProTek awnings to suit the vehicle they’re being fitted to. They can be manufactured in lengths of up to 5 metres, so there’s plenty of scope to get the size right for your setup.

If you’re working from a smaller van, you might only need enough cover to give you a practical space at the side of the vehicle. With a larger van or mobile workshop, you may want to make use of more of the available length. Either way, we’ll look at the vehicle, what you use it for and how much covered space you need before making the awning to suit.

2. Choose the right awning projection for your working space

You can also decide how much space you want the awning to give you when it’s wound out. Our mobile tech awnings can project up to 4 metres from the vehicle, giving you a generous covered area to work underneath.

That extra room can be especially useful when you’ve got equipment out, need space to move around, or you’re carrying out work directly alongside the van. We know that not everyone needs the full 4 metres, so the projection can be chosen around your setup. We’ll focus on creating a structure that gives you enough usable cover to make working on site easier, without taking up more space than you actually need.

3. Choose roof-mounted or bracket-mounted awning installation

How your custom awning is fitted will depend on the vehicle you’re using and what works best for your setup. We can roof-mount the awning or use a bracket-mounted system, so you’re not tied to one way of doing things.

We’ll take the vehicle into account when working out the best option, making sure the awning sits where it should and works properly once you’re out on the job. It’s all part of making the awning specifically for your van rather than trying to adapt an off-the-shelf setup to fit.

4. Match your mobile tech awning to your company colours

If you’ve already put time into making your work van look the part, you don’t want to spoil it with an awning that looks out of place. We can customise the colour of your mobile tech awning so it works with your vehicle and the rest of your company’s look.

It’s a simple detail, but one that can pull your whole setup together. Once the awning is wound out, it still feels like part of the van and your business, giving you a professional setup wherever the day takes you.

5. Add custom branding and graphics to your work van awning

Your awning can also carry your company graphics and branding, so it does more than provide a covered space to work under. We can incorporate your logo and other brand elements into the design, helping it tie in with your van and the rest of your fleet.

If you spend a lot of time working on customers’ premises or in busy locations, this can double as free advertising. Once the awning is wound out, you’ve got a large, visible area alongside your vehicle that can clearly show who you are and help your business get noticed.
