Weather Guard Shelving Overview
Outfitting your van with the right shelving system can make all the difference in day-to-day efficiency. The Weather Guard Adjustable 3-Shelf Unit, recently installed in our Ram ProMaster City overview, delivered exactly what we look for: rock-solid durability, modular flexibility, and a precision fit tailored to the vehicle. In this overview, we’ll break down the features that stood out and help you decide if this professional-grade storage upgrade is the right match for your van.
Whether you’re a contractor, technician, or service provider, having a shelving unit that holds up to the job is crucial. Let’s dive into why Weather Guard shelving is a top-tier solution for your cargo van storage setup.
Why Choose Weather Guard Shelving?
We get this question often—and for good reason. There are countless van storage options on the market, but few match the overall performance and design of Weather Guard shelves.
Key benefits include:
– Adjustable shelf heights for customizable configurations
– Bright white powder-coated finish for clean, factory-style aesthetics
– Steel construction that resists bending and corrosion
– Vehicle-specific installation kits for a secure and seamless mount
– Lifetime warranty for peace of mind
Simply put, it’s a professional solution for professional work.
Smart Design with Adjustable Options
The model we installed was the 36″ wide by 44″ tall unit, with each shelf measuring 13.5″ deep. This three-shelf design strikes the perfect balance for the compact interior of the ProMaster City, offering plenty of storage without blocking access or visibility.
What’s great is how each shelf can be flipped:
– Install them flush side up for storing tools and larger gear
– Or flip to expose two-inch lips that help secure smaller items
You can even add divider clips (included with the kit) to create compartments for fasteners, fittings, or spare parts.
Installation Process: Easier Than You Think
We love products that don’t require cutting or modification. With Weather Guard shelving, installation is a breeze—especially when paired with the Ram ProMaster City rear installation kit.
Here’s how it works:
1. Assemble the shelf unit using the provided hardware.
2. Position the shelving to clear wheel wells and ceiling obstructions.
3. Secure the base using the mounting plates that tie into existing D-ring locations.
4. Use plus nuts (included) to fasten the top of the unit to pre-existing holes.
5. Attach the upper bracket to the vehicle’s built-in threaded point.
This kit-based approach minimizes drilling and speeds up install time dramatically.
Fits Like Factory Equipment
One standout detail is the bright white finish. Weather Guard uses their signature Bright White powder coat, which closely matches most factory interiors—including the Ram ProMaster City. The shelves blend into the van’s aesthetic and almost look OEM.
Moreover, the tight fit against the van’s wall makes it feel integrated. No awkward gaps or wasted space here—every inch is usable.
Customize It with Endless Accessories
While the base unit is highly functional on its own, you can take your van to the next level with Weather Guard’s accessory lineup. The shelves are compatible with a wide range of add-ons to help tailor your storage to your specific trade.
Popular accessory options include:
– Shelf doors for securing contents
– Drawer units to organize small tools
– Bin dividers for sorting materials
– Hooks and hangers for power tools, cords, or extension cables
– Cabinets for added enclosed storage
These accessories bolt directly into the shelving unit, which means you don’t have to rig or modify anything to make it work.
Durability and Warranty Backed by Weather Guard
Weather Guard is known for their industrial-grade van equipment, and their shelving is no exception. Built from steel and coated for corrosion resistance, these shelves will take a beating without giving in.
Even better, they’re covered by a lifetime warranty. That’s not just for the shelf but for any manufacturing defects for the life of the vehicle. You install it once—and you’re covered.
A Must-Have Upgrade for Work Vans
We’ve installed a lot of shelving units over the years, and this setup is one of our favorites for compact vans like the Ram ProMaster City. The Weather Guard Adjustable Shelving brings together functionality, form, and durability in one package.
If you want to build out your cargo area for maximum efficiency and safety, this system is an excellent place to start.

Final Thoughts: Why Weather Guard Shelving Stands Out
From its clean finish to its easy installation and smart design, the Weather Guard shelving system delivers across the board. It transforms empty van space into an organized, secure, and professional-grade mobile workshop.
If you’re outfitting your van for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or general contracting work, this is the kind of upgrade that will save you time and hassle every day on the job.
