Cargo trailer: removable shelves
Posted on 3/3/14 at 7:42 am

I am trying to figure a way to put removable shelves in a 14'x6 cargo trailer. Trailer has a v-nose and 6' height.
Trying to come up with something that would be easily removable so I could still use it for hauling large stuff if I needed to.
Ideas, comments, suggestions-all welcome.

how about a few of these...rachet strap them to the walls to keep them from moving around

Something like that is my fallback plan.
I was thinking of taking some joist framing supports, the kind that hold a 2x6, screwing those to the metal ribs of the trailer and then then dropping a 2x6 shelf unit into them.

I would just say keep in mind the weight that'll add if you're doing the whole trailer. Those Rubbermaid shelves are super light.

vg, what will shelves be holding, weight, etc?
eta: and will whatever need to be contained on shelves, while moving down road?

how much weight do they need to hold?
Would a set of french cleats mounted on the wall and matching shelf brackets work?

Mostly just containers full of crap for vacation.
So beer and liquor.

That is exactly what I need.
Better than the joist hangers because your track is flush to the wall.
Thanks T2.
Headed to work, will order.

get some strong piano hinges or heavy duty gate hinges(whatever your preference mount 2' wide x8' long strips of plywood to the wall at your preferred height...mount eye hooks to top of wall or to ceiling just above the edge of shelf...use chain or heavy duty straps to hold shelf up...
leave shelves mounted and either fold them down (or up...down would be better)flush with wall when not in use and use a hasp in several places to secure it against wall when not in use...
you'll always have them ready and they won't take up more than an inch on either side of the trailer so you can still haul large items...
