Why Choose the Holman Folding Shelves Kit?

The Holman Folding Shelves Kit is made for trades and fleets who demand both flexibility and strength. Unlike traditional fixed shelving, this setup lets you fold the shelves down when needed, and tuck them away when not in use.

Key benefits include:

  • Space-saving design – fold shelves up when hauling larger cargo
  • Modular build – extend the system with extra shelves or shared legs
  • Ultra-light materials – composite shelf surface and aluminum frame
  • Easy installation – pre-assembled brackets reduce setup time
  • Strong, consistent finish – powder-coated legs match other Holman gear

Unboxing the Folding Shelves

Shelf Construction and Design

Each shelf is crafted from a durable composite honeycomb core paired with an aluminum frame. This blend keeps the shelf extremely light yet highly rigid.

What stood out immediately:

  • Foam-lined top surface prevents sliding
  • Pre-installed hinge brackets and gas shocks save time
  • Aluminum frame resists corrosion and dents
  • Available inner shelf space: approx. 48″ x 19.5″

Whether you’re hauling tools, totes, or gear cases, these shelves offer enough space without adding bulk or weight.

Upright Legs: Height-Adjustable & Steel Strong

Next up: the steel legs. These upright supports come in two parts and slide together, creating an adjustable vertical support system. The matte gray finish matches all other Holman van components, from hooks to partitions.

  • Precision-drilled holes every few inches
  • Customizable fit for varying van heights and interior rails
  • C-channel design allows for shared-leg installs with additional shelves
  • Each shelf mounts to one side, leaving the opposite side free for expansion

This kind of modularity makes it easy to scale your storage system as your needs grow.

Mounting Hardware & Accessories

Now let’s talk about the hardware pack. Holman includes everything required for install—no extra purchases necessary.

What you’ll find inside:

  • Four brackets – double as wall mounts or floor feet
  • Mid-mount brackets (optional but included) for additional wall stability
  • Spacers – for uneven van floors or mounting over ribs
  • Plus nuts, bolts, and washers – including plastic and serrated types

One thing to note: you’ll need a plus nut installation tool if you don’t already have one. It’s a low-cost, essential addition to your upfit kit.

Installation Guide and Warranty Coverage

We appreciate that Holman includes a full-color instruction manual with step-by-step install diagrams. Even better—there’s a parts list with descriptions and part numbers in case you ever need replacements.

As with all Holman products sold through Upfit Supply, this kit includes a three-year factory warranty. You must purchase through an authorized dealer to take advantage of that coverage.

Modular Add-Ons and Smart Design

One of the best things about unboxing the Holman Folding Shelves Kit is realizing how adaptable the system really is. You can:

  • Buy extra shelves and attach them to the same uprights
  • Share a leg between two shelves, reducing cost and weight
  • Mount shelves at custom heights using the pre-drilled holes

These features allow you to fine-tune the shelving to fit your workflow. From delivery vans to mobile repair units, the modular setup keeps things clean and efficient.

Final Thoughts on the Unboxing Experience

Unboxing the Holman Folding Shelves Kit reinforced everything we’ve come to expect from Holman—smart design, premium materials, and easy installation.

The folding shelf unit is ideal for:

  • Parcel delivery vans needing quick access to packages
  • Service professionals with fluctuating cargo space needs
  • Fleet managers who prioritize both storage and open-floor versatility

It’s a lightweight yet heavy-duty solution that doesn’t sacrifice function for flexibility.
