Build your van storage around the equipment you actually carry. Ranger Design offers steel and aluminum shelving options, with compatible accessories that help organize tools, fasteners, fittings, and supplies.
Start with the shelf size and configuration that fit your vehicle, then choose bins, dividers, or doors where they will help your daily workflow.
Steel vs. Aluminum Ranger Design Shelving
Steel and aluminum options let you compare construction and equipment weight alongside storage needs. Check the complete unit weight, load rating, dimensions, and vehicle compatibility for each model you are considering.
| Specification | Aluminum Example | Steel Example |
|---|---|---|
| Overall dimensions | 48" W x 16" D x 44.5" H | 48" W x 16" D x 44.5" H |
| Listed unit weight | 48 lbs | 57.5 lbs |
| Shelf levels | 3 | 3 |
| Usable shelf depths, top to bottom | 12", 14", 14" | 12", 14", 14" |
These figures describe the specific N4 examples pictured, not every Ranger Design shelf. Shelf-base materials and construction vary across product generations and series, including plywood and composite options.
Customize Your Storage Instead of Filling Every Shelf the Same Way
Open shelves give you room for larger tool cases and equipment. Bins and dividers can create smaller storage zones for supplies that are easy to lose in a crowded van.
Check what is included before ordering. A standalone shelf may not include the same accessories as a trade package or bundle. Choose compatible additions based on the items you carry rather than assuming every shelf comes with bins, doors, or dividers.
Use Plastic Bins for Small Parts
Removable bins help keep fittings, screws, connectors, and other supplies together. Ranger Design offers bins in different depths, so match the bin to the usable depth of the shelf level.
The 14-inch-deep bin shown is listed with a center divider. Compatible additional dividers can create smaller compartments. Confirm which dividers are included and which are sold separately.

Separate Supplies with Shelf Dividers
Shelf dividers help create individual spaces for cases, containers, and supplies. Compatible clip-on designs allow you to reposition sections as your inventory changes.
Measure the shelf's usable depth and check the tray and extrusion design before ordering. Accessories from one series or generation should not be assumed to fit another.
Add Doors Where Enclosed Storage Helps
A compatible shelving door can turn an open storage area into an enclosed compartment. Consider doors for areas where you want contents out of view, while keeping frequently used supplies easy to reach.
Check the actual shelf opening, door height, mounting requirements, and clearance. Overall shelf width alone is not enough to choose a door kit.

| Vehicle fit | Year, model, roof height, wheelbase, wall profile, and wheel-well clearance. |

| Installation | Required brackets, mounting hardware, instructions, and any vehicle-specific components. |
Confirm the current shipping estimate. Availability and dispatch times depend on the products, quantities, and order configuration. Ask our team for the latest lead time before scheduling installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is aluminum Ranger Design shelving lighter than steel?
In the matched N4 examples above, the aluminum unit is listed at 48 lbs and the steel unit at 57.5 lbs. Compare the specifications of your selected models rather than applying one weight difference to every series.
Are bins and dividers included with every shelf?
No single contents list applies to every shelf or package. Review the product description and selected options to see what is included.
Can I change the shelf layout later?
Adjustable models and compatible accessories can help you adapt storage to changing equipment. Follow your model's instructions for permitted shelf positions and accessory placement.
Will any Ranger Design door or divider fit my shelf?
No. Match the accessory to the shelf series, usable depth, opening dimensions, and mounting design.
Is Ranger Design shelving completely silent?
Actual noise depends on installation, hardware condition, and the cargo being carried. Secure loose tools and supplies and maintain the shelving according to its instructions.
Can Work Van Equipment help select accessories?
Yes. Call us with your vehicle details and shelf model, or send photos of your existing setup so our team can help check compatibility.
