Van Partitions & Bulkheads

If you drive a work van every day, adding a van partition (also called a van bulkhead) is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. A cargo van partition creates a solid barrier between the cab and cargo area—helping protect you and your passengers while also making your van quieter, more comfortable, and more professional.

Whether you call it a cargo van bulkhead or a partition, the goal is the same: keep people in the cab safer and keep your gear where it belongs. A quality bulkhead can help reduce the risk of loose tools or materials shifting forward during hard braking, sudden stops, or an accident. It also helps block road noise and heat/cold transfer, which can make long days behind the wheel noticeably better.

Professional tradesmen choose van bulkheads because they deliver real-world benefits:

  1. Safety: Helps protect occupants from shifting cargo
  2. Comfort: Reduces noise and improves climate control
  3. Security: Helps keep tools out of sight from the cab area
  4. Efficiency: Creates a clean, dedicated work zone in the rear

Types of Cargo Van Partitions

Most cargo van partitions fall into a few common styles. Solid van bulkheads maximize noise reduction and help improve climate control. Window bulkheads add rear visibility, while mesh van partitions provide airflow and a lighter feel while still creating a safety barrier. The best option depends on your trade, visibility preferences, and whether you prioritize sound/temperature isolation.

Van Partition FAQs

What is the difference between a van partition and a van bulkhead?

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

Are cargo van partitions worth it?

Yes. A cargo van bulkhead can improve safety by helping prevent cargo from shifting into the cab, and it often reduces road noise while improving heating and cooling efficiency.

Will a van bulkhead fit my specific van?

Most van partitions are vehicle-specific. Match your year/make/model (and any wheelbase/roof notes) and confirm fitment details on the product page or vehicle-specific collection.

Can I install a cargo van partition myself?

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

Should I choose a solid, window, or mesh van partition?

Solid bulkheads are best for noise and climate control. Window partitions improve visibility. Mesh partitions can improve airflow while still providing a safety barrier—choose based on your workflow and preferences.
