In the Opel Vivaro C L1 from 2019 onwards, the cargo floor is often one of the most heavily used areas of the vehicle. Toolboxes are loaded and unloaded, machines are moved in and out, materials are added throughout the day and transport containers regularly change position. For this type of everyday commercial use, a cargo floor should be designed around the way the van is actually used.
The vehicle-specific aluminium chequer plate cargo floor combines a birch plywood base with an aluminium five-bar chequer plate surface. The aluminium forms the upper working and loading surface and protects the original vehicle floor from direct contact with tools, machines, transport containers and other cargo.
Does this aluminium chequer plate floor fit my Opel Vivaro C L1?
In short: This cargo floor is designed for the Opel Vivaro C L1H1 from 2019 onwards. The compatible vehicle version has a wheelbase of 2,925 mm, an overall length of 4,609 mm and a cargo area length of 2,162 mm. The floor is available in 9 mm or 12 mm thickness. The 9 mm version can optionally be supplied with recessed Airline Rails.
When the cargo floor works as hard as the van
For a commercially used van, the working day rarely consists of loading everything once in the morning and unloading it again at the end of the day. In trade, service and installation vehicles in particular, the cargo area may be used repeatedly throughout the day.
Toolboxes are removed and returned, spare parts change position, consumables are replenished and machines need to be rearranged for the next job. The floor itself therefore becomes an important part of the everyday working routine.
The vehicle-specific chequer plate floor provides a continuous working and loading surface for these tasks. Its aluminium surface separates the supporting board and original vehicle floor from direct contact with the materials and equipment being transported.

Designed for vehicles that are loaded and unloaded throughout the day
The Vivaro C L1 is often more than simply a means of getting equipment from one place to another. In many businesses, it is a working vehicle whose cargo area is used repeatedly throughout the day, with both the contents and their positions changing from one job to the next.
Typical applications include:
-
Trade vehicles where toolboxes and materials are regularly loaded and unloaded
-
Service vehicles carrying spare parts, consumables and changing equipment
-
Installation vehicles transporting machines, tools and job-specific materials
-
Mobile workshop vehicles combining permanent equipment with additional open cargo space
-
Delivery and transport vans carrying changing transport containers or other cargo
A vehicle-specific cargo floor provides a consistent foundation for these different working and transport requirements.
Birch plywood base with an aluminium working surface
The cargo floor uses birch plywood as its supporting base material. The upper surface is finished with aluminium five-bar chequer plate.
This means the aluminium forms the actual working and loading surface. Toolboxes, machines and transport containers rest on the aluminium rather than directly on the wooden board.
The contours are CNC-machined specifically for the vehicle and shaped to fit the cargo area of the Opel Vivaro C L1.
Wooden floor or aluminium chequer plate – which suits your working routine?
A conventional wooden cargo floor can be a suitable solution for many transport applications. However, if the cargo area is regularly walked on, loaded and unloaded and used for tools, machines or transport containers, the additional aluminium surface provides an interesting alternative.

9 mm or 12 mm – which floor thickness for the Vivaro C L1?
The aluminium chequer plate cargo floor for the Opel Vivaro C L1 is available in 9 mm and 12 mm thickness. One important consideration when choosing between the two versions is whether Airline Rails are to be integrated directly into the cargo floor.

Airline Rails for frequently changing loads
If tools, machines or transport containers regularly change position inside the cargo area, additional attachment points can make the Vivaro C more flexible in everyday use. The 9 mm version can therefore optionally be supplied with recessed Airline Rails.
The rails are recessed across the direction of travel and bonded into the cargo floor. Combined with suitable Airline Rail accessories such as fittings or lashing straps, they provide additional attachment points that can be incorporated into the vehicle's load-securing setup.
This is particularly useful for changing transport requirements. Instead of being arranged around one fixed load, different positions within the rail system can be used depending on the cargo being carried.
Important:
Recessed Airline Rails are available exclusively with the 9 mm version of the cargo floor.
Installing the cargo floor in the Opel Vivaro C L1
The individual floor sections are positioned precisely inside the vehicle and screwed together. This creates a continuous floor surface shaped to fit the contours of the cargo area.
The supplied recessed lashing-point cups are fitted into the prepared cut-outs and secured using the vehicle's original lashing points.
Before final installation, all floor sections should first be positioned inside the cargo area. This allows their position, alignment and transitions to be checked before they are finally connected.

Practical tip: Plan the most frequently used floor areas first
When planning the Vivaro C L1 cargo area, it is worth looking at the actual working routine: Which areas are walked on every day? Where are toolboxes regularly placed? Which machines need to be loaded and unloaded frequently? And which part of the floor should remain available for changing cargo?
Considering these areas before installing shelving or tool cabinets makes it easier to organise the available cargo space around everyday use. If the 9 mm version with Airline Rails is selected, the attachment points that will be needed later should also remain accessible.
After all, vans are rarely loaded under perfect showroom conditions – during a working day, things usually need to move a little faster. 😄
