Why Installing a Holman Shelf in RAM ProMaster City Matters
We rely on our vans for daily tasks. Therefore, a sturdy cargo shelf makes tool retrieval swift. Additionally, Holman’s 32″ × 43″ shelf offers heavy-duty steel construction. As a result, you can carry bulky items with confidence. Furthermore, the custom mount kit avoids drilling new holes. Consequently, you preserve your van’s integrity

Before installation, here’s what you need to know:
