Put folding shelves at the rear, driver or passenger side, of a 148" wheelbase Ford Transit with the Weather Guard DRFT48RP dual rail kit. Because the roughly 68.8" rails reuse the Ford Transit's existing reinforced wall holes, the aluminum extrusions go up with no drilling and carry the load on the van's own structure. Cut for medium and high roof Transit builds, the rails take whichever Weather Guard folding shelf you run, from the 36" up to the 60" The rust-free aluminum keeps weight off your payload, and the folding shelves it carries are ordered separately. Made in the USA and backed for life.
What's Included:
Weather Guard dual rail shelf mounting kit for the Ford Transit 148" wheelbase
Pair of extruded aluminum mounting rails
Mounting hardware that uses existing reinforced wall holes
Weather Guard installation instructions
Note: Weather Guard folding shelves are sold separately
Features
No Drilling Into the Floor The rails use the existing holes in the reinforced sections of the van wall, so you mount folding shelving without drilling into the vehicle floor, keeping the van's structure and warranty intact.
Custom-Fit for the Transit This kit is cut specifically for the Ford Transit 148" wheelbase and its medium and high roof models, so the rails line up with the factory mounting points for a clean, secure install.
Mounts Any Weather Guard Folding Shelf The rails accept any size Weather Guard folding shelf at the driver or passenger side rear location, so you can add the 36", 48" or 60" unit that fits your load.
Extruded Aluminum, Load-Distributing Lightweight extruded aluminum resists corrosion and spreads the shelf load across the reinforced wall points for a secure, rattle-free hold that will not eat into your payload.
Quick, Flexible Install Weather Guard rates the rail kit at about half an hour to fit, and because the rails run the length of the reinforced wall section you can set the shelf height and fore-aft position to suit your load rather than being locked to one spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Which van does the DRFT48RP dual rail kit fit?
It is cut for the Ford Transit with the 148" wheelbase in medium and high roof, and it mounts folding shelves at the driver or passenger side rear location. Confirm your wheelbase and roof height before ordering.
Do I have to drill into my van?
No drilling into the floor. The two rails, about 68.8", use the existing reinforced holes in the Ford Transit wall, so they bolt to factory points and spread the shelf load without cutting the body.
Are the folding shelves included?
No. This kit is the mounting rails only; Weather Guard folding shelves are sold separately. Add the 36, 48 or 60" folding shelf for your Ford Transit 148" wheelbase and location to finish the install.
Can I mount any size folding shelf on it?
Yes. The rails accept any size Weather Guard folding shelf at the driver or passenger side rear location, so pick the shelf length that suits your Ford Transit.
Is this a front or rear location kit?
This is a rear kit, sized for the driver or passenger side rear wall. For a shelf location behind the cab, use the matching front (AF) dual rail kit for your van.
Is it made in the USA and backed by a warranty?
Yes. Weather Guard builds this in the USA and backs it with a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your receipt as proof of purchase for any future claim.
