Cargo Barriers

When it comes to transporting cargo by vehicle, you’ve got a number of options. From the backs of pickup trucks and utes to even the trunk of your run-of-the-mill family sedan, there are plenty of ways to get cargo from point A to point B. Getting that cargo to its destination safely and efficiently, though? For that, your best bet is to turn to the humble workhorse of the modern delivery industry: the humble panel van. In fact, the van has some of the biggest advantages over other small-scale cargo carriers.

Choosing The Right Cargo Barrier For Your Van

In fact, since it’s more spacious than a pickup truck, easier to handle than a larger vehicle, and with costs comparable to vehicles a fraction of its size, the van has it all. Well, almost — there are some issues with vans when it comes to fitting them out for carrying cargo. 

 

The biggest is the fact the interior of a van is a blank slate, and that means you’ll need to make use of some strategically placed cargo carriers. Don’t worry — you don’t have to go it alone when it comes to choosing a cargo barrier for your van. You can rely on our expert guidance below!

Varieties of Cargo Barrier

Not every cargo barrier is created equal. There’s a vast variety in different types of barriers, and this isn’t a bad thing — there are all sorts of different types of cargo you can carry in a van, after all! That being said, it’s important to understand the most often-used cargo barriers so that you can determine which one would be ideal for your own vehicle fleet.

Mounting Points

First, there are differences in where you can mount your barrier within your van. The two most common mounting points are the forward mount, which is typically right behind the driver and passenger seats, and the mid-mount, which delineates space more evenly between the front of the cabin and the cargo space in the back.

Quality Materials

Secondly, there are differences in materials. Mesh-type cargo barriers provide affordable visibility, making it easy to examine your cargo from the front of the van and allowing for light and ventilation. However, if you’re transporting chemicals that might off-gas into the cabin, a solid anti-vapour barrier is a much better option, as this will keep those chemical fumes at bay.

Robust

Finally, there is the impact value of a particular cargo barrier. Each barrier has a specific impact value rating, with more sturdy ones rating for more robust impacts. Careful consideration of what you’re transporting and whether you need the extra protection of a high impact value barrier is something that you need to do before deciding on the style of barrier you’re fitting to your van.
