Aluminum Ford Transit Van Shelving Set of 3

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

Van shelving is not a short-term purchase. Choosing the right material improves vehicle organization, safety, and efficiency for years.
