    You should think about getting a bigger van to carry your tools..

    I use storage boxes, each one for a different kind of item/job. For example I have a box for ppe, consumables, tiling, decorating, plastering, plumbing etc. All are stackable and labeled and when I get a van racked out will sit great on the shelves

    A above. You need to separate out tasks.
    Lightweight tool bags are a must for the top floor jobs.

    Or you could get a monkey.
