Special vehicle constructors as well as professional body construction experts are using the popular MiniTec system, particularly the size 30 profile with a full range of connectors and components that have been successfully proven in many applications for practicality and flexibility. Despite the fact that installation is fast and straightforward, MiniTec's profile system assemblies are very resilient, individually configurable and easy to modify.

Organisation in specialist vehicles is vital. From keeping books in a mobile library to placing equipment in emergency rescue cars or tools in a service vehicle - it is very important to reach all stored parts quickly and conveniently.

All MiniTec components are high quality, well designed and easy to use for modular construction, having been well established within industry several decades.

The profile system is often used for special vehicle construction, as well as to equip garages and service facilities. It is also suitable for custom-fitted construction of vehicles which are used by rescue organisations, fire-fighters, sales organisations or garages. In addition, food stalls, demonstration vehicles, mobile bank branch vehicles, drivable libraries or transport vehicles for motorsport can also be equipped with an individual interior.
