Ford Transit buildout advice

[hooch]

I have a new 2018 Ford Transit medium roof.
I am here asking for advice because it feels like you all may be the people to ask.

My cargo van is to be used for just that. Cargo.
25”x25” by 30” tall on wheels @ 200-300 pounds per box.
I need strong and secure. An aluminum divider and plastic walls is not good enough.
Mostly for my own safety and to preserve the vehicle as much as possible.
All travel is local/regional so I don’t need a sleeper.
I need strong and secure.

My first inclination is at least 1/2-5/8 plywood walls and ceiling (this should stop most things)
with something more substancial on the floor.
L track on every surface except doors.
The bulkhead is my biggest concern.

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Thank you.

E or L track on the floor and walls with plenty of different lengths of ratchet end straps should keep anything from moving around.

I framed my bulkhead with steel strut. My bulkhead serves as a noise and thermal barrier but also protects me from small, unsecured items. I often haul stamped steel parts in open bins and other items that cannot be totally secured.

Ah. Ok.
Unistrut is a whole ‘nother ball game.
I hadn’t thought of that.
I could literally build a steal cage.
Great idea.

I could literally build a steal cage.

Or you could save a whole bunch of money and steal a steel cage.

If you want a solid bulkhead go with the strut. I see no reason to build a cage unless you don't plan on securing your rolling freight. A cage made of strut, at least steel strut will add quite a bit of weight. Put plywood on the walls and secure your freight.
