At Upfit Supply, we know just how important it is to make your work van efficient, organized, and durable. In this Unboxing Holman Van Shelving 4832L article, we’re digging into one of the most popular compact van shelving units on the market. Whether you’re building out a new fleet or upgrading your current setup, the Holman 4832L delivers serious value.

Although we don’t manufacture this unit ourselves, we proudly sell and stand behind Holman shelving systems. These products offer a professional-grade solution for commercial vehicle organization—no guesswork required.

Why Choose the Holman 4832L Shelving Unit?

The Holman 4832L is purpose-built for compact work vans like the Ford Transit Connect. It’s 32 inches wide, 43 inches tall, and 14 inches deep, making it a perfect fit for smaller vehicles where space is at a premium.

Here’s what makes this unit stand out:

  • Compact design fits narrow cargo spaces without sacrificing storage
  • Durable steel construction with a gray powder-coated finish
  • Three adjustable shelves with deep lips to hold tools and bins in place
  • Back panels for added rigidity
  • Vehicle-specific mounting kits available

Whether you’re carrying parts, power tools, or everyday supplies, this shelf makes it easier to stay organized and efficient.

What’s Included in the Box?

When unboxing Holman Van Shelving 4832L, you’ll find everything you need to get started. Here’s a breakdown of what comes in the package:

  • 2 End Panels with embossed Holman branding
  • 3 Powder-Coated Steel Shelves
  • 2 Back Panels for stability and structure
  • Hardware Pack including:
    • Mounting straps and brackets
    • Threaded fasteners and Nylock locknuts
    • Plus nuts (also known as rib nuts or rivet nuts)
    • Washers, spacers, and hex cap screws
  • Installation Instructions for assembly and vehicle mounting

Each part is thoughtfully packaged—even if the box gets roughed up in transit, the contents stay protected.

Built to Last—Even in Demanding Conditions

Holman shelving systems (formerly Kargo Master) have a reputation for toughness. The 4832L is no exception. It’s built from .06-inch thick steel that holds up against daily wear and tear. Whether you’re loading gear on and off or strapping down heavy equipment, this shelving won’t back down.

And let’s not forget the gray powder coat finish—it’s not just for looks. This coating adds a layer of corrosion resistance while giving the unit a clean, professional appearance.

Easy Assembly, Straightforward Installation

We’ve handled dozens of upfit installations, and Holman’s assembly system is one of the most straightforward. The shelves feature tab-and-slot connections that increase rigidity and simplify alignment. Threaded holes on both the front and back allow you to bolt each shelf directly into place—no messing with nuts or washers.

Here’s how installation works:

  1. Assemble the shelf frame by attaching shelves to the end panels using included bolts.
  2. Secure the back panels using pre-threaded inserts—no extra tools or brackets needed.
  3. Mount the unit in your van using Holman’s optional vehicle-specific bracket system.
  4. Use included straps and angle brackets to secure the shelf base to the cargo floor.

Thanks to the tab-in design and pre-threaded fasteners, assembly is quick—especially compared to systems that require additional brackets or fabrication.

Vehicle Fit: Designed for Compact Vans

The Holman 4832L is optimized for smaller commercial vehicles, including:

  • Ford Transit Connect
  • Ram ProMaster City
  • Nissan NV200
  • Chevy City Express

For larger vans like the full-size Ford Transit or RAM ProMaster, Holman offers taller and wider shelving units. But in tight cargo bays, the 4832L is the ideal blend of compact size and functional storage.

Additional Details and Specs

Sometimes, it’s the little things that count. Here are a few extra specs and notes:

  • Shelf lip height: 1.75 inches—plenty of edge to keep cargo from sliding off
  • Interior depth: Just under 14 inches of usable space
  • Interior width: Roughly 31.75 inches between end panels
  • Actual height: 42.9 inches—just under the spec’d 43”
  • Unit weight: ~65 lbs

That last one is important. This shelf is solid. It ships heavy and may show some scuffs from the journey, but it’s made to work, not just look pretty.

The Holman (Kargo Master) Legacy

You might notice some parts still carry Kargo Master branding—and that’s no accident. Holman recently consolidated their upfit brands under one name, but the product quality hasn’t changed. Same manufacturing, same performance, new logo.

They’ve been serving the commercial vehicle industry for decades and offer a 3-year warranty—but only if you buy from an authorized seller like Upfit Supply.

Final Thoughts: A Compact Van’s Best Friend

If you’re looking to improve cargo organization without compromising floor space, this unit is a no-brainer. It’s durable, intelligently designed, and made for professional use. Pair it with other Holman upfit accessories and you’ve got a full mobile workstation on wheels.
