Vans are an important tool for many fleet operations, from service to delivery to contractors and more. Due to the wide variety of vocations that utilize vans, upfitters have designed a number of options to help drivers do their jobs safely, quickly, and easily.
DECKED Van Storage System

DECKED in-vehicle storage and organization system is a weatherproof and ergonomic solution for full-size trucks and cargo vans. The 100% American-made DECKED system features two secure, full bed-length drawers with a 200-pound load rating per drawer that glide effortlessly on industrial-grade wheels beneath a 2,000-pound payload-rated deck. Constructed from rugged High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and American steel, owners get ergonomic access to tools and equipment while maintaining full use of their vehicle bed’s footprint.
Storage is customizable and the system, once assembled, is easily installed and removed with little to no drilling or alteration of the vehicle body. Put critical gear right at the worker’s fingertips. Eliminating the need to step in and out of the vehicle saves time and money as well as reducing work-related injuries.

Shelving and storage bins are available in hundreds of different configurations of height, length, and shelf depth.
Ranger Design’s exclusive shelf construction of extrusions and laminate carries the load time after time. And, extra durability doesn’t necessarily mean extra weight.
