At Upfit Supply, we get a lot of questions from customers trying to mount shelves in their RAM ProMaster City without drilling into the van or guessing where the mounting points should be. That’s exactly why unboxing a RAM ProMaster City Shelf Mount Kit from Holman is a game-changer. This isn’t just a bag of bolts—it’s a vehicle-specific mounting solution that takes the stress out of installing shelves securely and efficiently.
We recently unboxed this Holman kit and walked through each piece to show what you can expect when it arrives. So, let’s break it down.
Why Unboxing a RAM ProMaster City Shelf Mount Kit from Holman Matters
When you buy a Holman shelf, it typically includes universal mounting hardware. While that might work, it leaves you with a lot of decisions—like where to drill, which holes to use, or how to avoid critical components under the van.
That’s where this shelf mount kit really shines. Holman engineered it specifically for the RAM ProMaster City, taking out all the guesswork. Whether you’re a pro upfitter or doing your first build, this kit simplifies the process.
What’s in the Box?
We always appreciate Holman’s thoughtful packaging, and this kit is no exception. As we started unboxing the RAM ProMaster City Shelf Mount Kit from Holman, here’s what we found inside:
- Five powder-coated steel brackets
- One hardware kit with bolts, washers, and a plus nut
- Installation instructions and a parts list
- Quality control stamp to confirm everything is included
Let’s take a closer look at what each item brings to the table.
Powder-Coated Steel Brackets
The star of the show is the set of five steel mounting brackets, each finished in Holman’s signature gray powder coating. This color matches the rest of Holman’s upfit components, from shelving to partitions, ensuring your van has a clean, cohesive look.
- Material Thickness: 3.3 mm (heavier gauge than the shelving itself)
- Finish: Scratch-resistant, matte gray powder coat
- Purpose-built for the ProMaster City—no cutting or measuring required
Three of these brackets mount to the floor using existing D-ring bolt locations, while the other two attach to the interior walls of the van, providing complete support for one shelf unit.
Hardware Kit with Plus Nut
This mounting kit comes with all the bolts and washers you need—including a plus nut that creates a secure anchor point where there isn’t one. If you’re unfamiliar, a plus nut is a great solution when the factory didn’t include a threaded hole where you need it. You insert the nut into an open hole, tighten the bolt, and the plus nut compresses to create a strong, reliable mounting point.
Included Hardware:
- Mounting bolts (for brackets and shelf feet)
- Washers
- One plus nut for wall-side anchoring
This thoughtful inclusion saves time, keeps you from scrambling for parts mid-install, and ensures the shelf stays firmly in place without additional drilling.
Installation Instructions with Parts List
Every Holman kit includes an installation sheet that details exactly what’s in the box. We like that they stamp this document for quality control, so you can double-check before starting the install.
Even better, this instruction sheet lays out exactly where each bracket goes, simplifying installation—especially for DIY upfitters or first-timers.
Designed Specifically for the RAM ProMaster City
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all kit. Holman created this mount system exclusively for the RAM ProMaster City. That’s important for a few reasons:
- The floor brackets align with existing bolt holes, so you won’t need to drill into the van floor.
- Wall brackets match interior contours, ensuring a snug fit and solid connection.
- The kit helps you avoid damaging fuel lines, wiring, or structural components under the van.
If you’re mounting multiple shelves, keep in mind that each shelf requires its own kit. So for a dual-shelf setup, you’ll want to grab two.
Simplified Shelf Installation—No Guesswork
Here’s what makes unboxing a RAM ProMaster City Shelf Mount Kit from Holman such a relief: it eliminates the most frustrating part of a shelf install—guessing where to mount.
Instead of trial-and-error or pulling out measuring tape and cross-referencing van specs, this kit guides you to the right locations, using factory anchor points wherever possible. That’s less stress, less risk, and much faster results.
Built to Last
Holman didn’t cut corners with this kit. Each bracket is laser-cut from thick steel, then finished with a durable powder coat to prevent rust and corrosion. The weight and feel of each piece tell you they’re built to last—just like the rest of Holman’s professional-grade equipment.
And because Holman designed these brackets in conjunction with their shelving line, the fit is dialed-in. You’re not adapting parts—you’re installing them with precision.
Final Thoughts on Unboxing a RAM ProMaster City Shelf Mount Kit from Holman
After unboxing the RAM ProMaster City Shelf Mount Kit from Holman, it’s clear this is more than just a bag of brackets. It’s a purpose-built solution that saves time, adds security, and protects your van from unnecessary damage during installation.
If you’re outfitting a ProMaster City with Holman shelves, this kit is a no-brainer. It ensures everything installs cleanly, securely, and without second-guessing yourself along the way.
