If you use a cargo van for your work, then you need to have shelving for your van. That’s why nearly all professional tradesmen utilize van shelves in their work van. Installing shelves in your cargo van have many advantages, including:
There are several types of shelving units available for cargo vans designed for varying needs, depending on your trade. Cargo van shelves are also offered in varying sizes to fit the multiple options of cargo vans available today.
The most common shelf you’ll see in a cargo van is adjustable shelving. These units are offered in varying widths, heights, and depths and allow you to adjust each cargo van shelf to fit your needs. You can also attach cabinets, dividers, doors, drawers, bins, and even work tops for a versatile storage solution. Adjustable van shelving can be installed with mounting kits which allow the shelves to be attached to existing holes in the van and eliminate the need for drilling holes.
Popular with parcel delivery providers, and many other trades, are cargo van folding shelves. Folding shelves allow you to fold down the cargo van shelf to stack packages, equipment, and more while providing the flexibility to fold the shelves up and get access to the full cargo area in the van. While initially designed for last-mile delivery providers, we’ve seen folding shelves used for many trades including restoration, construction, painting, and more.
Cabinets and secure storage drawers can also be installed on an adjustable cargo van shelf. This keeps tools, hardware, inventory/products, and other equipment safe for added security within the cargo hold. Cabinets and lockable van shelves also help keep everything secure during transit and eliminate the possibility of flying objects while going over bumps in the road.
There are endless possibilities for customizing your shelving for vans. Van shelf accessories like panels, cases, bins, doors, hooks, lights, mats, slides, holders, and more can all help you get the most out of your cargo van shelving. Shelving accessories really allow you to make your van workspace your own and dial in the efficiency you need in the field and in the garage. Safety equipment like fire extinguishers, hard hat holders, and more can also be added to your shelving.
