First Look: Unboxing Holman Partition Center Panels Kit for Transit & Sprinter Vans

Let’s get right to it. As we opened the box, we noticed Holman didn’t cut corners on packaging. Protective foam sheets keep everything secure, and the panels are well-supported—no loose parts shifting during transit.

Inside the box, you’ll find:

  • Three center panels, including a hinged door setup
  • Pre-installed hinge for panels 1 and 2
  • Perforations for visibility and ventilation
  • Rubber door gasket for noise control
  • Powder-coated steel panels in matte gray
  • Essential hardware taped to foam block
  • Holman 3-Year Warranty Card
  • Illustrated assembly guide

While the wing kit is not included here, it’s necessary to complete the install. More on that later.

Modular Construction, Built for Multiple Vans

The beauty of the Holman Partition Center Panels Kit for Transit & Sprinter Vans lies in its flexibility. This kit works with:

  • Ford Transit Mid-Roof Vans
  • Ford Transit High-Roof Vans
  • Mercedes Sprinter Vans (High Roof models)

No matter your van platform, this center section integrates with a model-specific Holman wing kit, which allows the partition to conform perfectly to the inner wall contours.

Key Features of the Holman Partition Center Panels Kit

From a safety and usability perspective, the Holman partition is packed with smart design choices:

  • Three-panel system, allowing easy handling and installation
  • Hinged center panels double as a swing-out door
  • Perforated upper sections for air flow and rear visibility
  • Matte gray powder coat finish for low glare and a clean look
  • Sound-dampening rubber gasket around the door area
  • Solid lower panels for added cargo protection

Each feature adds up to a professional-grade bulkhead that improves driver comfort and vehicle organization.

Panel Overview: What’s Inside the Kit?

As we continued unboxing the Holman Partition Center Panels Kit for Transit & Sprinter Vans, we broke the kit down piece by piece:

Hinged Panels 1 and 2

These two pieces arrive pre-attached with a heavy-duty hinge, making installation much easier. You can configure them into a door without any welding or bracket fabrication.

  • One panel includes a round cutout for a lock or latch
  • Additional holes are pre-drilled for optional latch kits
  • Hinged setup makes it easy to swing open the panel door

Note: Latch and handle kits are sold separately.

Solid Rear Panel (Panel 3)

This third panel installs next to the hinged pair and completes the partition wall. The upper portion includes ventilation perforations, while the bottom half is solid to prevent cargo shift or impact.

Sound Management and Visibility

The rubber gasket—already installed—is a nice bonus. It helps reduce rattling noise, which is often overlooked in partition systems. The perforated view panels offer limited rear visibility, especially useful when reversing or checking on your load.

Installation Hardware and Instructions

Holman includes everything you need to assemble the center panels:

  • Bolts, washers, and fasteners for panel-to-panel assembly
  • Hardware secured to a foam block, so it won’t fall out during shipping
  • Fully illustrated assembly instructions included in the box

Installation into the van itself requires the separately sold wing kit, which includes mounting brackets and frame adapters specific to your van model. You’ll attach the completed center panel assembly directly to the wing kit once the panels are bolted together.

Do You Really Need the Wing Kit?

Yes, 100%. While the Holman Partition Center Panels Kit gives you the main structure, the wing kit completes the system. Without it, there’s no way to anchor the partition to the walls of your Transit or Sprinter van.

The wing kit includes:

  • Curved metal wings that match van wall contours
  • Mounting hardware and brackets
  • Vehicle-specific installation instructions

If you’re planning to install this in your van, be sure to order the wing kit that matches your vehicle.

Why Add a Partition in the First Place?

A solid partition isn’t just about separating the cab from the cargo. It adds serious benefits to any commercial van setup:

  • Improves safety by blocking shifting cargo
  • Reduces cabin noise from tools, gear, or road vibration
  • Helps regulate cab temperature more efficiently
  • Adds a professional look to your upfit
  • Creates a secure storage area in the back

The Holman kit does all this while keeping things modular and easy to install.

Final Thoughts: Clean, Secure, and Ready for Work

After unboxing the Holman Partition Center Panels Kit for Transit & Sprinter Vans, we’re confident this is a smart investment for tradespeople, contractors, and fleet managers alike.

The hinged center design, perforated panels, and rigid steel construction make this a durable and functional upgrade for any cargo van.

If you’re serious about protecting your cab area while maintaining access to your gear, this kit delivers. Just remember to pair it with the appropriate wing kit to complete the install.
