Upgrade Your Ford Transit with the Holman Rigid Floor

A factory van floor can only take so much wear and tear before it starts showing signs of damage. If you’re looking for a durable, structured flooring solution, the Holman Rigid Floor is a game-changer for Ford Transit owners. Designed to provide a solid, protective foundation, this floor enhances cargo stability, improves safety, and makes it easier to install upfit accessories without drilling into your van’s metal floor.

This step-by-step installation guide will walk you through installing the Holman Rigid Floor in a Ford Transit 148-inch wheelbase, mid-roof model, highlight its key benefits, and show you how it integrates seamlessly with your van’s existing layout.

Why Choose the Holman Rigid Floor?

The Holman Rigid Floor is more than just a protective layer—it’s designed for practicality and versatility. Here’s what makes it a must-have upgrade:

  • Pre-Cut for a Perfect Fit – Designed specifically for Ford Transit models, ensuring seamless installation.
  • Integrated Track System (optional) – Allows for easy attachment of shelving, partitions, and other accessories without drilling into the van floor.
  • Heavy-Duty Composite Construction – Provides long-lasting durability while reducing noise and vibrations inside the van.
  • Enhanced Safety – Offers a non-slip surface to improve traction and prevent cargo from shifting during transit.
  • No-Drill Installation – Uses existing mounting points for a secure and non-destructive setup.

Tools & Materials Needed

Before starting, gather the following tools:

  • Allen wrench
  • Drill (if securing additional accessories)
  • Measuring tape
  • Marker or pencil
  • Flathead screws (included in kit)

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Van for Installation

  • If your Transit already has a factory-installed floor, remove it before installing the Holman Rigid Floor.
  • Check for D-rings or tie-down points that may interfere with installation. The floor is designed to fit around wheel wells, but some lower cargo rings may need to be removed.
  • Clear any debris, dust, or leftover adhesive from the van floor to ensure a smooth fit.

2. Position the Floor Panels

  • Unbox the floor panels and carry them into the van piece by piece.
  • The first section is a solid rectangular panel that includes two smaller tracks near the front—these are designed for mounting partitions or additional accessories.
  • The second section overlaps the first and is pre-cut to fit around the C-pillar and wheel wells. Ensure it aligns properly before proceeding.

3. Secure the Floor Panels Together

  • Where the two floor sections meet, make sure the extrusion on one panel fits securely underneath the metal plate on the other.
  • At the side and rear doors, install the included rubber trim pieces to protect the edges of the floor. The shorter piece goes at the side door, and the longer piece fits along the rear door.
  • Attach the sections together using flathead screws with Allen heads. There are four connection points per transition.

4. Secure the Floor to the Van

  • Use the provided mounting brackets to attach the floor to the van’s body.
  • Slide the brackets underneath the liner on both the driver and passenger sides.
  • Secure them using 3/8-inch screws, tightening them into the existing mounting locations.

5. Maximize Utility with Integrated Track System (if applicable)

One of the biggest benefits of the Holman Rigid Floor with Tracks is its ability to secure accessories without drilling into the floor.

  • The integrated tracks allow for easy mounting of shelving, tank racks, and partitions.
  • Holman provides T-nuts and bolts to secure accessories. Simply slide the T-nuts into the track, align your accessory, and tighten the bolts to secure them in place.
  • If you need to mount something outside the track locations, Holman includes threaded nut inserts that allow you to create additional anchor points.

Pro Tip:
If you’re installing this in an electric Ford E-Transit, the track system is especially useful since drilling into the floor is not recommended due to the battery placement.

Enhancing Your Setup with Optional Accessories

To further protect and refine your van’s cargo area, consider adding door sills.

  • Holman door sills help cover exposed metal edges at the side and rear doors, preventing scratches and chips.
  • Made from aluminum with a textured pattern, they offer extra grip when stepping in and out of the van.
  • While they’re not included in the standard floor kit, they can be purchased separately for added protection.

Final Thoughts: A Must-Have Upgrade for Ford Transit Owners

The Holman Rigid Floor is an essential upgrade for any Ford Transit owner looking to enhance cargo durability, safety, and versatility.

  • Protects the van’s metal floor from damage, scratches, and dents.
  • Integrated track system allows for quick and easy upfitting without drilling.
  • Durable, noise-reducing composite material ensures a long-lasting solution.
  • Simple, no-drill installation that works with existing van mounting points.
