3. Ladder Racks
Ladder racks free up valuable floor space by storing bulky gear like ladders securely on the roof. Designed with trades in mind, these racks make loading and unloading safer, easier, and faster - especially when using ergonomic drop-down options.
An unsecured ladder can quickly become a liability in transit, posing risks to both safety and your bottom line. A high-quality ladder rack not only prevents costly damage or loss but also streamlines your workflow on the job.
At Commercial Van Shelving, our ladder racks are built from premium materials to ensure durability, corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in all conditions.

- Boost Cargo Capacity – Carry more without crowding the van.
- Protect Equipment – Prevent damage and movement in transit.
- Improved Safety – Reduce tripping hazards in the cargo bay.
4. Safety Partitions (Bulkheads)
A well-designed partition—or bulkhead—creates a vital barrier between your van’s cab and cargo area. Whether you choose steel, aluminum, or composite, partitions help protect drivers from shifting gear, improve climate control in the cab, and give your interior a more professional appearance.
With options like contoured designs for extra legroom, sliding doors for walk-through access, and window panels for visibility, you can choose the style that best fits your workflow. All Commercial Van Shelving partitions are designed for easy installation and a precise fit for your van make and model.
Why It’s a Must-Have in 2025
- Driver Safety – Prevent projectiles from coming forward in sudden stops.
- Cab Comfort – Maintain temperature and reduce noise.
- Professional Look – Tidy up your interior appearance.
5. Roof Racks
When interior space is tight, roof racks let you take full advantage of your van’s footprint. Ideal for transporting piping, lumber, conduit, and other oversized items, roof racks keep your cargo secure and accessible - without cluttering your interior workspace.
Our heavy-duty cargo racks are built to withstand the elements and daily wear, with rust-resistant finishes and solid mounting systems. Add-ons like side rails, tie-down points and roller bars make loading and unloading safer and faster.

Heavy-duty van flooring isn’t just about protection—it’s about safety and productivity too. Cargo van owners can benefit from composite or rubber floor liners that add grip, reduce noise, and protect your van’s interior.
Choose from StabiliGrip composite floors with a sandpaper-like finish, or thick rubber mats for chemical resistance and knee comfort. These floor liners are made for your exact van dimensions and are easy to install.
Why It’s a Must-Have in 2025
- Non-Slip Surface – Safer for loading/unloading.
- Interior Protection – Reduce dents and scratches.
- Noise Reduction – Quieter ride and fewer rattles.
7. Wall Liners
Wall liners protect your van’s interior and create a clean, insulated barrier between your cargo and vehicle frame. They reduce damage from shifting tools, protect resale value and create a quieter ride.
Made from rugged plastic or insulated DuraTherm materials, these liners are precision-cut to your van model and offer a smooth surface to mount shelves or hang tools.
Why They’re a Must-Have in 2025
- Protect Your Investment – Prevent wall dents and damage.
- Clean Look – Present a more professional van interior.
- Noise Control – Help reduce cargo noise while driving.
8. Drawers
Our drawer systems take organization to the next level by helping you sort and secure tools inside your shelving units. Built to handle daily use, they glide smoothly and are made from durable materials that stand up to job site conditions.
Choose from open drawer modules or locking drawer systems for added security. Our drawers are available in multiple sizes and integrate seamlessly with your shelving setup, helping you create a van interior that’s as smart as it is efficient.

Parts Keeper Cases are a valuable addition to any commercial van shelving setup, offering organized storage for tools, equipment, and small parts.
Available in sizes ranging from single cases to eight-piece, two-shelf models, these cases let you customize your van storage to meet your needs.

Hooks optimize space for hanging tools, extension cords, and larger items like shovels. Grab handles enhance safety when entering or exiting the van, reducing injury risk.
Bottle and paper holders keep tools accessible, and LED interior lighting improves visibility, reducing accidents. Parts cases offer additional storage for small tools, available in various sizes. Worktops provide a dedicated space for tasks, increasing productivity.
