Masterack

Over 50 Years of Commercial Van Innovation

Masterack didn't follow the commercial van equipment industry — they built it. In 1972, Masterack patented the rooftop clamping ladder rack, a design that became the industry standard and is still widely used today. That same engineering-first approach has shaped every product in the Masterack catalog: steel and composite interiors built to maximize payload, minimize noise, and survive years of hard daily use across some of the country's most demanding fleet applications — utility construction, telecom, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, appliance repair, and pest control, among others.

Today, Masterack operates out of a 406,000-square-foot production facility in Atlanta, Georgia, and is a business unit of J.B. Poindexter & Co. Their products are fitted to all major commercial van platforms — the Ford Transit, RAM ProMaster, Mercedes Sprinter, Ford E-Series, and others — with vehicle-specific fitment that eliminates the compromises of universal-fit equipment.

Masterack Van Ladder Racks

If you're carrying ladders on a cargo van, the ladder rack is the most visible and highest-use piece of equipment on the vehicle — it needs to load fast, hold secure, and survive years of daily cycling. Masterack van ladder racks are the benchmark the rest of the industry is measured against.

The flagship UPLYFT Ladder Rack is the lowest-profile roof-mounted ladder rack on the market — built from rugged aluminum to reduce weight and wind resistance while maintaining the load capacity commercial use demands. For high-roof vans where ladder access is a daily workflow, Masterack also offers interior-mounted utility rack configurations that complement the exterior setup. Every rack is engineered for specific van platforms — no universal-fit compromises, no drilling into the roof structure.

Masterack van ladder racks are available for:

• Ford Transit (Low Roof, Medium Roof, High Roof)
• RAM ProMaster (136" and 159" wheelbase)
• Mercedes Sprinter (Standard and High Roof)
• Ford E-Series (E-150, E-250, E-350)

Masterack Van Shelving

Masterack van shelving is the foundation of a properly outfitted cargo van interior. Heavy-duty steel and composite shelving modules are designed to fully utilize the height, floor space, and payload capacity of a commercial van — with a modular architecture that lets you build exactly the configuration your trade requires, then add or reconfigure as your needs change.

Key features across the Masterack van shelving lineup:

• Heavy-duty steel and composite construction — steel for maximum durability in high-abuse applications; composite for lighter-weight configurations where payload margin matters
• Modular design — shelving units combine with Masterack drawers, bins, dividers, and cabinets to build a fully customized van interior
• Vehicle-specific fitment — shelving is designed around the exact interior dimensions of each van platform for a clean, rattle-free install
• Adjustable shelf heights — configure for tall parts bins, flat tool storage, or mixed cargo depending on trade requirements
• Used by the nation's largest fleets — Masterack steel interiors are the choice of major utility and service fleets that need consistent, reliable performance across hundreds or thousands of vehicles

Masterack Shelving Packages

For tradespeople who want a fully configured van interior without the complexity of building from individual components, Masterack trade shelving packages deliver a pre-engineered setup designed specifically for your vocation. Each package includes the shelving modules, accessories, and trade-specific components your job actually requires — not a generic interior that needs to be adapted after the fact.

Masterack trade shelving packages are available for:

• Electricians — ample shelving, drawer cabinets, and a wire spool carrier to keep electrical service technicians organized and efficient on every call
• HVAC Technicians — comprehensive setup including shelving, hooks, parts drawers, and a built-in 30 lb. tank rack designed to keep refrigerant cylinders secure in transit
• Plumbers — shelving, drawers, and bins configured around the storage needs of plumbing service and repair work
• Service Contractors — a balanced mix of steel shelving modules, composite parts bins, drawer cabinets, and a triple utility hook for general service and repair applications
• Locksmiths — purpose-built storage layout with ample shelving and an integrated workbench for mobile locksmith operations

All Masterack trade packages are available for the Ford Transit, RAM ProMaster, Mercedes Sprinter, Ford E-Series, and other major van platforms. Packages can be further customized with additional Masterack accessories, dividers, and specialty components — so if your specific workflow needs something the standard package doesn't include, it can be added.

Masterack Van Partitions & Bulkheads

A Masterack van partition or bulkhead is one of the first things that should go into a work van build — before the shelving, before the ladder rack. A properly installed partition separates the cab from the cargo area, protecting the driver from shifting loads in sudden stops, reducing road and cargo noise into the cab, and providing a cleaner working environment. For fleet managers, partitions also reduce liability exposure and often satisfy fleet safety policy requirements.

Masterack partitions are available in solid steel and window/screen configurations for vans where rear visibility from the cab is required. All are vehicle-specific — engineered to the exact interior dimensions of each supported van platform for a secure, rattle-free fit with no modification required.

Masterack Cabinets & Lockers

Masterack drawer cabinets and lockers integrate directly with Masterack shelving systems to add secure, organized storage for tools, parts, and high-value equipment that needs to be kept out of sight or protected from unauthorized access. Drawer cabinets provide organized small-parts storage and keep tools from sliding around on open shelves during transit. Lockable lockers add a layer of security for high-value hand tools, meters, or sensitive equipment.

For fleet operators standardizing a van interior package, adding a Masterack cabinet or locker to the base shelving configuration is one of the most effective ways to reduce tool theft, improve technician efficiency, and keep every van in the fleet consistent.

What is a Masterack trade shelving package?

A Masterack trade shelving package is a pre-configured van interior setup designed for a specific trade — electrician, HVAC technician, plumber, service contractor, or locksmith. Each package includes the shelving modules, drawers, bins, and trade-specific accessories your vocation actually requires, pre-engineered for your van platform. It's the fastest way to get a fully outfitted van interior without having to spec out individual components. Packages can be further customized with additional Masterack accessories if your specific workflow requires it.

What is the difference between Masterack steel and composite shelving?

Masterack steel shelving is the heavy-duty option — maximum durability for high-abuse applications and the choice of the nation's largest utility and service fleets. Masterack composite shelving is lighter weight, which reduces payload impact and is well-suited for applications where overall van weight is a consideration. Both are built to professional commercial standards — the right choice depends on your load requirements and how hard your vans work day to day. If you're not sure which is right for your application, contact our team.

Do I need a partition before installing van shelving?

In most cases, yes — a van partition or bulkhead should be installed first. Partitions anchor to the van's structure behind the cab seats and establish the forward boundary of the cargo area that shelving is built against. Installing shelving before a partition can create fitment issues and may require rework. Beyond the installation order, a partition is a safety and compliance item that most fleet operators require regardless of what shelving setup follows it.

How does Masterack compare to Weather Guard van equipment?

Both are established, commercial-grade van equipment brands trusted by large fleets — but they approach the market differently. Masterack's strength is in the breadth and depth of their van interior system: a fully modular shelving architecture, a wide range of trade-specific packages, and the largest product selection in the industry for building a comprehensive van interior from the ground up. Weather Guard is better known for individual product durability — particularly their steel shelving and tool storage — and carries a premium positioning with their ARMOR TUF powder coat and limited lifetime warranty on many products. For fleet managers standardizing a complete van interior system across many vehicles, Masterack's package-based approach and breadth of fitment coverage is often the more practical path. For operators prioritizing single-product durability and a premium finish, Weather Guard is a strong choice. Many fleets run both brands depending on the product category.
