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.

Weather Guard 48" aluminum folding van shelving unit (2 shelves), white and red

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.

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.
