What is the best cargo rack for a commercial van?
The best cargo rack for a commercial van is a heavy-duty aluminum system designed to transport long materials like pipe, conduit, lumber, and scaffolding safely. Advantage Outfitters offers cargo bars, roof decks, and high-capacity conduit carriers that withstand abuse, resist rust, and include time-saving features like roller bars, ladder stops, and optional tie-downs. Every rack is custom-matched to your van model for safe, warranty-protected installation.
What can a cargo rack carry on top of a work van?
A cargo rack can carry pipe, conduit, poles, lumber, sheet metal brakes, scaffolding, and other long or oversized materials. Advantage Outfitters’ cargo racks and roof decks are designed for maximum versatility and durability, giving contractors a secure way to haul professional-grade equipment without overloading the interior of the van.
What’s the difference between cargo bars and a roof deck for vans?
Cargo bars create a simple cross-bar system for securing ladders and long materials, while a roof deck provides a full flat surface for hauling larger items, tool cases, or multiple pieces of equipment. Advantage Outfitters offers both options: lightweight cargo bars for everyday transport, and heavy-duty aluminum roof decks with rollers, tie-downs, and optional catwalk planks for more demanding jobs.
Do I need a vehicle-specific cargo rack for my van?
Yes—cargo racks must be matched to your specific van model to ensure proper fit, safe load distribution, and OEM warranty compliance. Advantage Outfitters supplies vehicle-specific cargo racks for Transit, ProMaster, Sprinter, Metris, and other commercial vans, all installed to factory specifications so you never have to worry about roof integrity or transport safety.
Are aluminum cargo racks strong enough for daily commercial use?
Yes—aluminum cargo racks are extremely strong and ideal for daily commercial use because they resist rust, reduce overall vehicle weight, and handle heavy, repetitive loads. Advantage Outfitters uses anodized and powder-coated aluminum construction on cargo bars, roof decks, and conduit carriers, ensuring long-term durability even in harsh work environments.
Can I add a conduit carrier to any cargo or ladder rack?
Yes—conduit carriers can be added to almost any cargo or ladder rack to securely transport pipes and long materials. Advantage Outfitters’ 5” high-capacity aluminum conduit carriers include lockable hinged doors and integrate easily with cargo bars, roof decks, and existing ladder racks for electricians, plumbers, and general contractors.
How do I safely access cargo stored on my van roof?
The safest way to access cargo stored on a van roof is by using a dedicated access ladder designed for your vehicle. Advantage Outfitters offers bolt-on and clamp-on aluminum access ladders that provide stable footing and prevent technicians from climbing on bumpers or tires. When paired with roof decks or cargo bars, they create a safer, more efficient loading system.
We provide service van equipment and commercial vehicle accessories to help you get the job done!
