If you're a service professional who uses a Ford Transit van, your vehicle should work for you. Customizing your van with equipment creates a vehicle that suits your needs. Ford Transit partitions, in particular, provide a way to customize your vehicle and improve your ride.
Not sure what bulkhead would be right for you? Discover below how to choose a Transit partition from all the types available.
From brands to materials and styles, bulkheads offer plenty of variety. Explore your Ford Transit safety partitions and separation options below.
As you're deciding how to choose a Transit partition, consider the brands available. You want a trustworthy brand from an equally trustworthy supplier. That way, you can be sure you'll get a quality product with reliable delivery and additional assistance.
For Transit bulkheads and partitions, you can select from a line of Ranger Design products. This manufacturer is among the industry leaders in creating Transit van partitions. Ranger Design creates a range of partitions that meet the highest safety standards in the country. From there, you have different styles and materials to choose from.
Aluminum is a lightweight yet strong and durable material. It's well-suited for Transit van partitions because it can withstand your equipment without adding too much weight to your vehicle. Solid Transit contoured aluminum partitions come in varying heights for different distances between the floor and roof of your van. Consider the height of your van's roof and the lightweight partition you could get:
The contoured design of these Ford Transit solid partitions allows for comfort in the cabin and adequate storage space in the cargo section of your van. Aluminum also provides a sleek look for the interior of your Ford Transit.
Get a combination of the sleek look and other benefits of an aluminum partition with the bonus of a window. A tempered glass window in the aluminum partition helps maintain the overall strength of a windowed divider.
As you'd find with Ford Transit solid partitions, Transit contoured aluminum partitions with windows come in a range of heights. Those ranges do not differ much in terms of the weights of solid designs, which is good news whatever size divider you need:
Consider lightweight and durable aluminum for a Transit sliding door partition. A sliding door gives you convenient access between the cabin and the cargo sections of your van, and it won't take up space in your cargo area when you open it. You have different height and weight options if you want a Transit sliding door partition:
The highlight of this Transit partition is the sliding door. It features a rattle-free design and a tempered glass window for visibility into the back of your van. The sliding door is lockable, meaning it will stay shut during transit and keep your cabin safe when you're parked.
While composite is a slightly heavier material than aluminum, it provides ample noise dampening. The Ford Transit partition for a medium roof and high roof both weigh 63 pounds. Contoured composite partitions help regulate your heating or cooling in the cabin, as well, thanks to the tight-fit design.
The material is also made to be thermally stable in any weather conditions. That means the bulkhead won't become compromised in the extreme heat of the summer or be susceptible to damage in extreme winter weather. The quality of the material and the design of the partition are made for maximum impact resistance, as well. Store bulky or heavy equipment in the cargo section of your van and don't worry about it bumping into your partition.
Install a contoured composite partition with a window for maximum visibility. The upper portion of the design is entirely see-through to give you direct visibility into the back of your van. This Transit composite van partition comes in a low height that weighs 50 pounds for a lightweight divider.
You'll also have maximum seatback travel with a contoured composite partition. It provides 8 inches of setback for your comfort and convenience.
Steel is another durable material option for your Ford Transit partitions. Consider a Transit straight partition with a steel mesh upper that offers you visibility into the rear of your vehicle. The galvanized steel material and 5-inch setback make this Transit steel van partition a popular option. Find it in these varieties and weights based on your vehicle's roof height:
A swing door provides a versatile and economical option for your divider. The door latches to remain shut as you drive, and the bulkhead design includes a 5-inch setback to maintain a comfortable space in the cabin. Find the Transit swing door partition and its weight for your vehicle based on the roof height you need:
A Transit pass-through partition provides convenient access between the cargo area and your cabin. The panels create partial separation between your items in the back and the driver and passenger. It's another economical option that's easy to install because it consists of two separate panels. It's also a more lightweight partition model because there is no center panel.
You'll find three heights for your Ford Transit pass-through partition, and they vary with weights as follows:
With so many partitions for Ford Transit vans available, you need to know how to choose the right one for you. That'll be based on your preferences, but you could consider:
Many Transit partitions combine several of these qualities into one divider. That means you can find the benefits of a contoured design and windows in one or search for other combinations that suit your unique needs.
Bulkheads for Ford Transit vans provide a divider between the cargo area of your van and the passenger cabin. That creates a safer and more efficient ride with the benefits it provides. Partitions in your Transit van serve to:
If an accident happens, you want to keep everyone in your vehicle as safe as possible. A partition separates your tools and equipment from the passengers, protecting them from items that go flying in an accident.
Keeping your cargo well-contained helps protect drivers, passengers and your cargo. With a partition to separate your tools and equipment, everyone in your vehicle will stay safe. A partition also makes your vehicle safer because it protects you from the tools stored in your cargo area if you experience an accident.
Even as you're driving, your tools and equipment can shift around. A partition keeps cargo contained so it cannot interfere with a driver or passenger in your van. If you ever have to make a hard stop, your equipment and tools will stay in the cargo area so you can focus on driving.
With a partition, your working space in the cargo area is separated from the front of your vehicle. Customers and passersby will be unable to see into the driver's seat from the back of your van with solid partition options.
Without a partition, the cabin of your van is open to the cargo area. That means your heater or air conditioner is working to adjust the temperature of the entire van. With a solid partition, you keep the heat or cold air in the cabin, which helps save on fuel use and costs. These lower fuel costs can add up when you're running a business.
If you're tired of long rides listening to the rolling, rattling and bumping noises your equipment makes in the back, getting a partition can help. A partition isolates sound from the cargo area. That gives you and your passenger a quieter ride to help you focus on the road.
The rattling noises from your cargo area can be a distraction when you're traveling between job sites. The partition will secure your cargo, preventing it from sliding loudly into the vehicle's front seats during hard stops or if an accident occurs.
You may be concerned that adding a partition to your van means that your visibility will be lower. But if you select Transit partitions with windows, you maintain visibility through the back of your van, as long as you keep the viewing areas unblocked by your equipment.
When you shop for Ford Transit partitions, you get a product that perfectly fits your van. You won't need to adjust or alter the product you get when you make the right selection for your vehicle. The real benefit of getting a custom partition is that it will be easier to install than a one-size-fits-all product, which might require additional tools to install it or difficult alteration work to convert it into the required shape.
There are a lot of reasons to get a divider for your Ford Transit. And there are just as many types of partitions to choose from. So what should you look for when purchasing partitions for your Ford Transit? We suggest prioritizing these qualities for the best experience with your bulkhead:
You want to spend as little time as possible trying to install your partitions. Look for models that are easy to install, and shop with a company that provides installation instructions.
Adding anything to a vehicle means you should prioritize safety. You want a custom fit that's made for your vehicle to prevent improper installation. You should also shop with a trusted supplier and select a bulkhead that meets your specific needs and vehicle specs to create a safe van.
You want partitions to be light enough for your vehicle. Heavy partitions impact your fuel economy, especially if you already haul weighty equipment. Just because a material is lightweight doesn't mean it's lacking in strength, either. Consider aluminum, which offers durability in a lightweight design. These light partitions are especially ideal if you already transport heavy tools and materials.
Ford Transits come with roofs of varying heights, so you'll need those options in your dividers, as well. Shop for a Ford Transit high roof partition if your vehicle needs it to get the proper fit. A partition that's too short won't provide the benefits it should, and you won't be able to install one that's too tall.
You want the noise from your cargo area to be limited, but low-quality partitions could be a source of noise, as well. Select a quality design that won't rattle during bumps and turns for an even quieter ride. This is especially important to consider for a Transit sliding door partition or swing door model.
You want to maintain as much space in your cabin as possible after installing a Ford Transit bulkhead. Select a contoured design that allows for maximum seat travel and comfort. That means you and your passenger can still adjust your seats to some degree and not feel cramped in the van's cabin, even with a partition behind you.
While you want space in your cabin, you'll also need to maintain as much surface area as possible in the cargo area. Choose from Transit partitions that feature efficient designs. These products use smart designs to allow adequate space in the cabin while maintaining room in the cargo section. That means you can keep the same amount of equipment back there that you would've without the partition.
Some partitions may take as little as one hour to install with the right tools. That will depend on your experience, whether you have assistance and the divider model you're installing. Check the installation guide to see what specific tools you'll need to prepare for the process. Depending on the partition, you could need tools like:
Installation varies for different partitions. It may help to understand how to put in the divider before you begin. Follow instructions provided with your equipment or find an appropriate installation instruction video online based on your divider. In general, you may find steps like these in your installation process:
While the process will be different for every model, there are a few tips you can take away from those instructions. Be sure to line up the panels and check that they match with threaded holes or jack nuts you installed. When you install the panels, do not fasten them tightly until the end of the installation. And be sure not to skip any steps throughout the installation process.
You can also get your partitions professionally installed for an additional cost. If you have the Transit Van partitions professionally installed, you can enjoy several benefits, including:
In addition to a Ford Transit bulkhead, other pieces of interior equipment will make your van complete. Enhance the safety, efficiency, noise-reduction and other qualities of your van with Transit products like:
