The challenge

KION South America needed to transform a Fiat Fiorino in a compact mobile workshop. The goal was to create an organized, safe, and practical space for transporting maintenance tools and equipment, allowing the technical team to carry out quick interventions in the field without having to return to base, ensuring greater operational efficiency.

The solution

Ellan, Bott’s exclusive licensee in Brazil, developed a custom design for the Fiorino, integrating high-quality modules and accessories. The solution included:

  • Bott side modules with optimized drawers, shelves and cabinets, all with non-slip mats;
  • Background module additional to expand organizational capacity;
  • 12mm marine wood flooring, resistant and safe, with access cover to the fuel float;
  • Ratchet straps with snaps (1,000 mm) for securing loads;
  • PDU Panel with 4 NBR sockets (20A/250V) and 3-meter cable for powering equipment;
  • Removable vise support, which can be retracted when not in use, offering versatility to the space.

The result was a robust and efficient mobile workshop, which meets KION’s needs in the field, reduces unnecessary travel, increases team agility and offers greater safety during transportation and service execution.
