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.
