subject: Van Shelving: No, It's Not Merely For Hippies [print this page] Does the image of a colorful van full of happy-go-lucky people enjoying themselves make you think of van shelving? For others, you may think of more practical uses for such storage. Either way, you should be knowledgeable about alternative ways to fit out your van with shelves.
Many people in various professions utilize work vans which need portable storage which fits into these vehicles. That's where shelving comes to the rescue. If you have a mini-van, a cargo van or a sprinter van, bespoke shelving is available for your vehicle. Adjustable shelving is a great convenience. The top and bottom end panels can be customized to fit your van and to fit perfectly to your van's side wall, creating a professional design. Dividers and drawer kits can be used when fitting out your unit, to make the best and most efficient use of your shelves. There are also different types of shelves from which to choose. Some have no doors or backing, whilst others come with pullout drawers.
You may prefer to install your own wire shelving into your van. This is not difficult to do. There are options to customize different types of vans with heavy-duty wire shelving units. These come in different sizes and styles, for example modular and upright units, and are made of durable steel. The shelving you choose depends simply on which style meets your work or recreational needs.
Whatever your needs, you have different options of finding shelving to put in your van. For your convenience, many retail hardware stores carry different shelving options. Many manufacturers also offer their products direct by ordering online through their websites. As specialists in outfitting vans, these manufacturers may be able to offer more choices than a retail store, depending on your specific needs for your van. A cheaper way is to find second-hand equipment or second-hand vans which are for sale. It's even possible to find good equipment in vans at your local junkyard.
With van shelving which comes in so many styles, it is possible to fit out your vehicle to your own style. Whatever your profession, maybe a contractor who needs a mobile office, or a hippie trying to create a home from home, quality shelving can be the answer to your storage needs. The choice of correct shelving and accessories can turn your van into an all-inclusive shop suitable for either work or recreational needs.
