Bulkheads is an essential element in any commercial van that lacks a barrier between the cargo and passenger area.
By creating a separation between the vehicle cab and the rear load area, they enhance security, acting as a strong deterrent against theft. Additionally, they contribute to the driver’s safety by preventing shifting loads during braking.
There are three primary types available; Solid Steel, Solid Plywood and Punched.
Ideal for those concerned about climate control, the solid steel bulkhead serves as a complete barrier between the passenger and cargo areas. It not only enhances security by blocking the cargo view from potential intruders but also provides a visual barrier, concealing tools and equipment.
In contrast to a metal bulkhead, a plywood bulkhead allows for future modifications without compromising strength. Unlike steel, modifications can be made without compromising the material. This type is also customisable, offering options for carpeting and other modifications.
The punched bulkhead provides a limited view into the load area, allowing the use of the rearview mirror without compromising security. This feature enables constant monitoring of the cargo, facilitating better cargo management. It is available only in robust zinc-coated steel, providing both full and half-height options.
