The right Ranger Design package for a Chevrolet BrightDrop depends on the vehicle model and the work it performs. Contractor steel packages provide open fixed shelving for tools and materials. Service packages add drawers, bins, and dividers for smaller parts. Aluminum packages reduce installed equipment weight and include more organization accessories, while delivery packages use fold-away shelving to preserve flexible cargo space.
BrightDrop 400 and BrightDrop 600 packages are not interchangeable. Each uses model-specific mounting tracks and an E-Floor designed for that vehicle. Before ordering, confirm whether the van is a BrightDrop 400 or BrightDrop 600 and compare the exact package contents, installed weight, workflow, and cargo requirements.
Quick Answer: Which BrightDrop Package Should You Choose?
- Choose a contractor steel package for open shelving that can accommodate tools, cases, equipment, and larger materials.
- Choose a service steel package when drawers, bins, dividers, and organized small-parts storage are important.
- Choose an aluminum package when reducing installed equipment weight and organizing many small parts are priorities.
- Choose a delivery package when package sizes change and shelving must fold away to create more open cargo space.
These packages are starting points rather than mandatory layouts. The best choice depends on the vehicle, tools, cargo, trade, payload, and daily workflow.
What Is Included With a Ranger Design BrightDrop Package?
Package contents vary, but the current BrightDrop packages include a vehicle-specific Ranger Design E-Floor and two mounting-track assemblies. The E-Floor contains inserts used to mount compatible equipment without drilling through the vehicle floor.
The BrightDrop 400 uses E-Floor model 6541-BZS and mounting track 6550-BZS. The BrightDrop 600 uses E-Floor model 6541-BZL and mounting track 6550-BZL.
The remaining components depend on the package. Possible equipment includes:
- Standard or deep fixed shelving.
- Fold-away shelving.
- Drawer cabinets.
- Partskeeper organizers.
- Plastic shelving bins.
- Shelf dividers.
- Hooks and other accessories.
Do not assume every package includes drawers, bins, or the same number of shelves. Review the complete parts list for the exact package number before ordering.
BrightDrop 400 vs. BrightDrop 600: What Is the Difference?
Ranger Design identifies its BrightDrop 400 packages with package numbers beginning with BZS. BrightDrop 600 packages begin with BZL. The packages differ in overall layout, shelf sizes, E-Floor, mounting tracks, weight, and installation time.
| Vehicle | Package Prefix | E-Floor | Mounting Track | Listed Wheelbase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chevrolet BrightDrop 400 | BZS | 6541-BZS | 6550-BZS | 153 in. |
| Chevrolet BrightDrop 600 | BZL | 6541-BZL | 6550-BZL | 183 in. |
Confirm the vehicle identification and current manufacturer application before ordering. Product names that sound similar do not indicate that the components fit both vans.
Which BrightDrop Package Is Best for Contractors?
The contractor steel package is a practical starting point for general contractors, maintenance teams, and service businesses that want open fixed shelving without a large collection of included bins and drawers.
The BrightDrop 400 contractor package, BZS-10, includes:
- One 60-inch-wide deep steel shelving unit.
- One 72-inch-wide deep steel shelving unit.
- Two 36-inch-wide steel shelving units.
- One 6-inch hook.
- Two BrightDrop 400 mounting tracks.
- One BrightDrop 400 E-Floor.
Ranger Design lists BZS-10 at 479 pounds with an estimated installation time of 6.7 hours. The package is designed for the BrightDrop 400 and should not be ordered for a BrightDrop 600.
The BrightDrop 600 contractor package, BZL-10, uses longer shelving runs suited to the larger vehicle. Ranger Design lists it at 597 pounds with an estimated installation time of 6.9 hours.

Who May Want a Different Package?
Contractors who carry many small fittings or high-value tools may prefer a service or aluminum package with included bins, dividers, and drawers. Businesses that regularly carry large boxes may need fold-away shelving instead of fixed shelving along both walls.
Which BrightDrop Package Is Best for Service Technicians?
Service packages combine steel shelving with additional storage accessories. They may be a better starting point for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, facility-maintenance teams, and mobile repair technicians who carry many small parts and tools.
For example, the BrightDrop 400 service package, BZS-16, includes fixed steel shelving, two drawer cabinets, plastic bins, shelf dividers, hooks, mounting tracks, and the BrightDrop 400 E-Floor.
Ranger Design lists the complete BZS-16 package at 552.5 pounds with an estimated installation time of 7.5 hours.
Drawers can provide assigned storage for tools and higher-value parts. Bins and dividers can help separate fittings and replacement components that might otherwise become mixed on an open shelf.

Who May Want a Different Package?
A service package may include more accessories than a contractor needs. Technicians who already own storage containers or want mostly open shelves may prefer the contractor package or individual components.
When Is an Aluminum BrightDrop Package the Better Choice?
Ranger Design's aluminum BrightDrop packages are intended for businesses that want fixed shelving with lower installed equipment weight and extensive small-parts organization.
The BrightDrop 400 aluminum package, BZS-27, includes:
- Four aluminum shelving units in multiple widths.
- One two-drawer cabinet.
- Two Partskeeper organizers with holders.
- Six 12-inch-deep bins.
- Eighteen 14-inch-deep bins.
- Three sets of shelf dividers.
- Two hooks.
- Two BrightDrop 400 mounting tracks.
- One BrightDrop 400 E-Floor.
Ranger Design lists the BZS-27 package at 438.5 pounds with an estimated installation time of 7.74 hours.
The BrightDrop 600 aluminum package, BZL-27, expands the layout for the longer vehicle. It includes two 36-inch and two 96-inch aluminum shelving units, a drawer cabinet, two Partskeepers, bins, dividers, hooks, mounting tracks, and the BrightDrop 600 E-Floor. Ranger Design lists the complete package at 542.8 pounds.

Who May Want a Different Package?
Customers who do not need the included bins, Partskeepers, drawer, and dividers may prefer a simpler contractor package. The aluminum package also remains a fixed-shelving layout, so it is not the best choice when the main goal is to reclaim wall and floor space for changing parcel sizes.
When Is a Fold-Away Delivery Package the Better Choice?
Delivery operations often need shelving for small parcels on one route and more open space for large packages on another. Fold-away shelving allows the trays to be used when needed and moved toward the wall when additional cargo space is required.
The BrightDrop 400 delivery package, BZS-19, includes two fold-away shelving systems, additional posts and trays, two mounting tracks, and a BrightDrop 400 E-Floor. Ranger Design lists the package at 384.3 pounds with an estimated installation time of 7.9 hours.
The BrightDrop 600 delivery package, BZL-19, provides a larger fold-away layout for the longer vehicle. Its components and E-Floor are specific to the BrightDrop 600.
Fold-away trays create loading surfaces, but they do not automatically secure every parcel. Cargo must still be loaded and restrained according to the product instructions, vehicle requirements, and applicable rules.

Who May Want a Different Package?
Technicians carrying a permanent inventory of fittings, tools, and repair parts may get better organization from fixed shelving, drawers, bins, and dividers. Fold-away shelving is primarily useful when cargo size and volume change regularly.
How Do the Main BrightDrop Package Types Compare?
| Package Type | Best Starting Point For | Primary Storage Style | Potential Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contractor steel | Contractors carrying tools, cases, and larger materials | Open fixed shelving | Limited included small-parts organization |
| Service steel | Electricians, HVAC, plumbing, and maintenance work | Fixed shelving with drawers, bins, and dividers | Higher package weight and less open cargo space |
| Aluminum | Weight-conscious service fleets with many small parts | Fixed aluminum shelving with organizers | May include more accessories than some users need |
| Delivery | Parcel, grocery, courier, and changing cargo loads | Fold-away shelving | Less specialized organization for trade tools and fittings |
Do not compare package price or weight without also comparing the included equipment. A service or aluminum package may weigh and cost more than a contractor package because it includes drawers, organizers, bins, dividers, and additional shelving.
What Should You Confirm Before Ordering?
- Whether the vehicle is a BrightDrop 400 or BrightDrop 600.
- The exact Ranger Design package number.
- The current package contents and component part numbers.
- The complete installed equipment weight.
- The vehicle's available payload after the upfit is installed.
- Whether the shelving layout leaves enough open cargo space.
- Whether drawers, bins, dividers, or other accessories are needed.
- The installation instructions and estimated labor time.
- Whether spare-tire relocation or other preparation is required.
Ranger Design's current documentation states that installation of certain BrightDrop 400 packages requires spare-tire relocation. Confirm this requirement for the exact package and vehicle before scheduling the installation.
Installation must follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ranger Design lists a 10-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for these packages, with proper installation required to maintain warranty coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do BrightDrop 400 Packages Fit the BrightDrop 600?
No. The models use different E-Floors, mounting tracks, and equipment layouts. Choose the package designed for the exact BrightDrop model.
Does Every BrightDrop Package Include an E-Floor?
The Ranger Design BrightDrop packages discussed in this guide include a vehicle-specific E-Floor and mounting tracks. Confirm the current parts list for the exact package before ordering.
Does the E-Floor Require Drilling Through the Vehicle Floor?
Ranger Design describes the BrightDrop E-Floor as an EV-safe, drill-free mounting system with inserts for compatible equipment. The complete installation must still follow the instructions for the specific vehicle, floor, tracks, and equipment.
Which BrightDrop Package Is Best for Electricians?
A service or aluminum package may be a useful starting point because these configurations include more small-parts organization. The best setup depends on the electrician's tools, cases, wire storage, materials, and preferred access points.
Which Package Is Best for Parcel Delivery?
The fold-away delivery package is generally the strongest starting point for parcel, grocery, and courier operations with changing cargo sizes.
Is the Aluminum Package Always Lighter Than the Steel Package?
Aluminum shelves are generally lighter than comparable steel shelves, but complete package weight also depends on the number of shelves, drawers, bins, organizers, floor components, and other accessories. Compare the published weight of the complete packages.
Can I Add Accessories to a BrightDrop Package?
Ranger Design systems are modular, but accessory compatibility varies by shelving line, depth, and mounting method. Confirm the accessory and hardware requirements before ordering.
Can I Build a Custom BrightDrop Layout Instead?
A complete package is a convenient starting point, but it may not be the only possible configuration. Contact Work Van Equipment to determine which individual components and mounting products are approved for the vehicle and intended workflow.
