Ford Transit Partitions & Bulkheads

Ford Transit Bulkheads & Partitions

If you run a Ford Transit for work, adding a Ford Transit bulkhead (also called a Ford Transit partition) is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. A cargo van partition creates a protective barrier between the cab and cargo area—helping keep drivers safer, reducing noise, and improving heating and cooling efficiency in the cab.

Whether you call it a Ford Transit partition or a bulkhead, the purpose is the same: protect the cab and keep tools and materials where they belong. A quality Ford Transit bulkhead can help reduce the risk of loose gear shifting forward during hard braking, sudden stops, or an accident. It also helps make your Transit more comfortable by blocking road noise and limiting heat/cold transfer from the cargo area.

Tradesmen and fleet managers choose Transit partitions because they deliver real-world benefits:

1. Safety: Helps protect occupants from shifting cargo
2. Comfort: Reduces road noise and improves climate control
3. Security: Helps keep tools and materials out of sight from the cab
4. Efficiency: Creates a cleaner, more organized workspace in back

With our convenient online ordering process, you can choose the right Ford Transit bulkhead for your van and have it delivered right to your door.

Ford Transit Bulkhead Fitment Notes

Not all partitions fit every Transit. A Ford Transit partition is typically designed around your van’s model year, wheelbase, and roof height (Low/Medium/High Roof). Choosing the correct fitment helps ensure proper mounting, seat travel clearance, and door operation.

If you’re unsure what you need, start by confirming your Transit’s year, wheelbase, and roof height, then review fitment notes listed on the product page.

Types of Ford Transit Bulkheads

Most Ford Transit bulkheads come in a few common styles. Solid bulkheads maximize noise reduction and help improve heating and cooling performance. Window bulkheads maintain rear visibility, while mesh partitions provide airflow while still acting as a safety barrier. The best choice depends on your trade, visibility needs, and whether comfort or airflow is the priority.

What is the difference between a Ford Transit bulkhead and a Ford Transit partition?

There’s no difference—Ford Transit bulkhead and Ford Transit partition are interchangeable terms for the barrier that separates the cab from the cargo area.

Is a Ford Transit bulkhead worth it?

Will a Ford Transit partition fit my specific van?

Most partitions are vehicle-specific and may vary by Transit wheelbase and roof height. Match your year/make/model and confirm wheelbase/roof notes on the product page for the best fit.

Can I install a Ford Transit bulkhead myself?

Many Ford Transit partitions are designed for DIY installation with basic hand tools and manufacturer-provided hardware. Always follow the included instructions for proper mounting and safety.
