1. Metal Shelving Systems Metal shelving systems come in many sizes and are often adjustable, so they can easily fit into a wide variety of vans. They are also more durable and easy to maintain than other types of shelving, such as wood, for example. That’s why the vast majority of cargo vans incorporate this first type of shelving. Different materials can be used for metal shelving; these are most commonly steel, aluminum or composites. Traditional steel shelves tend to be more cost-effective up front and are very durable. Steel is the preferred choice for those carrying lots of heavy-duty equipment.  For those who frequently drive on roads that aren’t in such great shape, it will keep your equipment and drivers protected. On the other hand, aluminum is lighter-weight and can help improve gas mileage and fuel efficiency. If you require lots of drawers and shelving to carry small parts, keeping the load light with aluminum or composites may be best. Composites are sometimes favored...

Safety first sums up what drivers must observe when loading cargo into their box truck. When it  comes to loading box trucks, it’s easy for drivers to get distracted with other issues at the dock/loading area or focus instead on the urgency of the job at hand without considering safe loading procedures. As a result, they become susceptible to strains, fractures, and other bodily injuries caused by improper body mechanics when lifting, carrying, or loading . So custom van shelving is one of options to save drivers as well as the safety of materials. Assess the Load Risk Situation Performing a load risk assessment enables truck drivers to address hazards before they become problems. Check for broken, unsecured, hazardous, or leaky items prior to loading them.  Consider Load Weight Load weight is a significant factor for ensuring the safe loading of your box truck. It is important to know the load capacity of the truck; consider shifting weights such as stacking heavier loads o...

Fixing a broken Sprinter antenna The radio antenna on Sprinter vans is badly placed and flimsy. It’ll break if you drive under low branches, wash the van, or let snow build up over it. Luckily, if it snaps off at the base, there’s a fix. I had read about people breaking their Sprinter antenna off. I thought it must take some effort, but then I did the same thing when I was washing the van. I just knocked it with a soft bristle brush and it snapped straight off. The antenna/aerial is made of flexible wire, but the base is a rigid plastic. That plastic must be either really thin or really fragile, because it breaks very easily. My antenna, and others I’ve seen, seem to break off while still attached to the metal insert in the plastic base. After 2 weeks of evaluating the available vans  work van shelving  and compiled all the options into a spreadsheet that rated each van based on the following: Vehicle Type: Ford vs Mercedes vs Other. Size: 144 wheelbase vs 170 wheelbase v...
