The commercial vehicle market has been introducing as many vans as it has trucks lately. Whether you're sticking with the tried-and-true work truck or giving a cargo van a try for your next vehicle, here are a variety of new storage solutions to make sure everything you load into your vehicle has a place of its own.
On Lock

Available in 9- and 12-inch widths, the drawers each offer a 600-pound capacity and bring the contents to the user with 80% extension glides. The aluminum frame and composite deck have a weight capacity of 2,000 pounds and come with optional front and rear wheel well hinged aluminum side panels.

Make Your Bed
The Decked weatherproof in-vehicle storage solution features two full-length, 200-pound capacity drawers that organize tools and gear while supporting a 2,000-pound payload. The waist-height drawers can be customized with locks, trays, dividers, and other accessories for efficient organization. Installation is fast and easy, using the truck’s tie-downs rather than drilling into the bed. American-made Decked systems use HDPE and steel components. decked.com
