subject: Van Shelving - It Isn't Merely For Hippies [print this page] When you visualize van shelving, your mind might conjure up an image of a brightly colored van full of untroubled people enjoying themselves. As far as other people are concerned, you might think of better uses for storage. Either way, you should be familiar with your options for fitting shelves in your van.
Many people in various professions utilize work vans which need portable storage which fits into these vehicles. Here's where shelving comes in. Whatever you have - a mini-van, a cargo van or a sprinter van - you can get custom shelving for your vehicle. One great convenience is adjustable shelves. An efficient design that fits perfectly to your van's side wall are the top and bottom end panels. These can be contoured to fit your van. Fitting out your unit with dividers and drawer kits will maximize the efficiency and adaptability of your shelves. There are also different types of shelves from which to choose. Some have no backing or doors, and others come with pullout drawers.
It is not difficult to install your own wire shelving into your van, if that is what you prefer. There are heavy-duty wire shelving units made to customize several styles of vans. These come in different sizes and styles, for example modular and upright units, and are made of durable steel. Depending on your work or recreational needs will determine the style of shelving you decide to opt for.
Whatever your needs, you have different options of finding shelving to put in your van. Many hardware stores stock different sizes of shelving for you to use. Many manufacturers make their products available 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.
Van shelving comes in a variety of styles to uniquely enhance your vehicle. Whatever your occupation, from a hippie needing to create a home away from home to a contractor who needs a mobile office, quality shelving is the answer to your storage needs. By using the right shelving and accessories, your van can be transformed into a one-stop-shop which will serve either work or recreational needs.
