Choosing between steel and aluminum van shelving is a key decision when upfitting your commercial vehicle.
Both options offer strong performance, but the right choice depends on your trade and workload.
Steel Shelving Advantages
High load capacity
Durable construction
Ideal for heavy tools
Long-term commercial reliability
Steel is recommended for contractors who carry heavy equipment daily.
Aluminum Shelving Advantages
Lightweight structure
Corrosion resistance
Reduced vehicle strain
Easier installation
Aluminum is ideal for high-mileage service vans operating across Canada.
Consider Your Workload
If you:
Carry heavy pipe or large tools → choose steel
Operate service routes daily → aluminum may be better
Long-Term Investment
Van shelving is not a short-term purchase. Choosing the right material improves vehicle organization, safety, and efficiency for years.
