Weather Guard's 48" 9548-3-01 folding van shelving unit is the mid-length option, long enough for real runs of tools yet easy to place. Two aluminum shelves flip up for tall loads and fold down into a solid bench, giving a mid-size van flexible storage that changes with the job. Rust-free aluminum keeps it light enough for one-handed operation while each shelf holds up to 300 lb of tools and material. Pre-assembled and installed with 8 bolts in under 15 minutes, it uses removable endcaps to join a neighbor into one long shelf. A Weather Guard dual rail kit is required and sold separately. Made in the USA and backed for life.

Features
Shelves Fold Up or Down Flip the shelves up to clear space for tall, bulky loads, then fold them down for a level work and storage surface. That flexibility lets one van handle changing loads without a fixed shelf getting in the way.
300 lb per Shelf Despite the light aluminum build, each shelf carries up to 300 lb, so you can load real tools and materials, or use the folded-down shelf as a sturdy work bench in the field.
Rust-Free Aluminum, One-Handed Operation The rust-free aluminum construction keeps weight off your payload and lets you raise or lower a shelf with one hand, a real advantage when your other hand is full.
Removable Endcaps Join Units Removable endcaps let you connect two folding units into one continuous work shelf, so long stock and awkward material get a single uninterrupted surface.
Installs in Under 15 Minutes Each unit ships pre-assembled and mounts with just 8 bolts, so a full install takes under 15 minutes once your dual rail kit is in place.

How to Install the Required Dual Rail Kit
Because folding shelves mount on a dual rail kit, this official Weather Guard guide to installing the dual rail kits for van shelves is essential viewing. It shows how the rails use existing reinforced wall holes so there is no drilling into the floor, and how the shelves then bolt to the rails. Watch it to plan the rail kit you need for your van before the shelves go in.
Maximize Your Van Storage with Weather Guard Folding Shelves
This Weather Guard feature video shows why folding shelves earn their space: flip them down for a work surface, flip them up to carry tall or bulky loads in the same bay. Good context for how the shelves change day to day.
Folding Shelves for Work Vans
This official Weather Guard video introduces the folding shelf system for work vans, the shelving that folds flat against the wall when you need the floor clear for something bulky. It is aimed at anyone whose van has to carry organized small parts and the occasional large item on the same day.
It gives the clearest picture of how the folding action works in a real van before you commit to a layout. It comes straight from Weather Guard, so what you see is the current production product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Do I need anything else to install the 9548-3-01?
Yes. This 48" folding unit mounts on a Weather Guard dual rail kit that is sold separately and chosen by your van, wheelbase and shelf location (front driver, or driver and passenger rear). Pick the matching DRFT (Ford Transit), DRRP (RAM ProMaster) or DRMS (Mercedes-Benz Sprinter) rail kit for your van.
How much weight can each shelf hold?
Each aluminum shelf holds up to 300 lb, so you can load real tools and materials. The folded-down shelf is sturdy enough to double as a field work surface.
What vans do the folding shelves fit?
They fit standard, high and super-high roof commercial cargo vans such as the Ford Transit, RAM ProMaster and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter; this 48" unit needs about 48" of clear wall. The exact fit comes from the dual rail kit you pair with it, so choose the kit for your van and wheelbase.
Why aluminum instead of steel?
Rust-free aluminum keeps the unit light, which protects your payload and lets you raise or lower a shelf with one hand, while still holding 300 lb per shelf. It also will not corrode in a damp, hard-working van.
Can I join two units together?
Yes. Removable endcaps let you connect two folding units into one continuous work shelf, which is ideal for long stock and awkward material that will not fit on a single unit.
How is this item shipped and what should I check on delivery?
This 48" folding unit ships at about 83.4 lb by freight or parcel depending on size, in Weather Guard packaging. Inspect the carton at delivery, note any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign, and check the contents against the packing list.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
