At Upfit Supply, we know that small parts can quickly turn into a big mess inside your cargo van. That’s why we carry organization solutions designed to keep your work vehicle clean, efficient, and ready for the job. In this post, we’re unboxing the Holman Plastic Bin—a compact, durable storage bin perfect for van shelves, cabinets, or workstations.

Although we don’t manufacture these ourselves, we proudly supply and recommend Holman products because of their reliability, thoughtful design, and seamless integration with other van equipment. Let’s dig into what makes this plastic bin for cargo vans a smart addition to any mobile workspace.

First Impressions: Unboxing Holman Plastic Bin

Our unboxing of the Holman Plastic Bin (part number 40311) was short and sweet, but it’s clear from the start that this product packs a punch.

Each order includes:

  • One heavy-duty plastic bin
  • Two internal dividers
  • Molded front label slot
  • Bright yellow color for high visibility

We had a few of these bins shipped together, but each one is sold individually. This makes it easy to buy exactly what you need without overstocking.

Bin Dimensions and Build Quality

This bin is 10 inches deep, making it the perfect fit for standard Holman shelving systems. It’s molded from high-impact plastic that resists cracking, even in cold or rough jobsite conditions. The bright yellow finish adds visibility, making it easy to identify contents even in a dimly lit van.

A few build highlights:

  • Durable plastic withstands heavy daily use
  • Smooth interior surface allows for easy cleaning
  • Stackable design for convenient pre-loading or warehouse storage

We especially like that the stackable feature allows you to stage bins inside before carrying them to your van. This flexibility is great for busy crews that prep materials ahead of time.

Internal Organization Made Easy

Each Holman plastic bin includes two dividers that slot into pre-molded grooves. These are fully removable and adjustable, allowing you to create up to three internal compartments per bin.

Here’s why that matters:

  • Separate small items like screws, fuses, or fittings
  • Reduce mix-ups and save time locating parts
  • Prevent shifting and spilling while driving

Additionally, there’s a dedicated label slot on the front and a larger one on top. This lets you create clear, visible identifiers for what’s inside each bin. No more guessing, no more wasted time.

Designed for Holman Shelves—But Works Anywhere

This plastic bin is tailor-made to work with Holman (formerly Kargo Master) shelving units. However, it’s also compatible with most standard cargo van shelving systems.

These bins slide perfectly into:

  • Holman adjustable shelves
  • Modular drawer systems
  • Cabinet lockers
  • Custom workbenches

They can even be used in workshop storage cabinets or as part of your warehouse inventory system. Their versatile footprint and smart design make them a go-to for any organized trade professional.

Yellow is the New Blue

In previous models, Holman bins were blue. However, they’ve transitioned to yellow bins across all product lines for better color consistency with their safety-focused accessories.

The yellow color isn’t just for looks. It:

  • Improves visibility in low-light environments
  • Matches other Holman accessories
  • Helps signal organization and safety to team members

We’re all about details that improve usability, and color-coding is one of those small things that makes a big difference in daily operations.

Use Case Scenarios

Whether you’re a plumber, electrician, HVAC tech, or general contractor, Holman plastic bins help streamline the back of your van.

Popular use cases include:

  • Separating hardware sizes
  • Storing fuses or electrical components
  • Organizing fittings, adapters, or couplers
  • Labeling tool kits for specific job types

You can also use them to pre-load job-specific bins before heading out. Just stack them in your shop, load them up, and drop them onto your van shelving. It’s an efficient way to stay ahead of your schedule.

Everything You Need in One Package

Unlike other modular bins on the market, Holman includes:

  • Two plastic dividers
  • Pre-labeled spaces
  • A stackable, compatible build

There’s no additional assembly, no missing hardware, and no compatibility guessing. What you see is exactly what you get—and it’s ready to work.

We love that you can start using these bins straight out of the box.
