Our van bulkheads (vapour barriers), which partition the driver from the cargo, are moulded as one piece from 3mm ABS in original factory colours. They meet the German DIN standard.
Our bulkheads offer many benefits over other barriers including:
1. Enhanced driver operating space
Our van bulkheads are designed with driver comfort in mind. They offer 10 per cent more operating, or “office”, space for the driver than original factory wall or cargo barriers.
2. Climate control/environmental benefits
The precise fit of our bulkhead ensures there is negligible air flow between the driver’s compartment and the cargo area. Together with the fabric lining on the driver’s side, the bulkhead allows the driver’s compartment to be heated or cooled quickly. This means air-conditioners only need to run at half the power, thus reducing fuel consumption.
3. Noise reduction
The “office” created by the bulkhead provides a good OHS environment because the snug fit and lining on the driver’s side reduce noise from the cargo area, road and tyres.
4. Safety features
Our bulkheads have the German DIN 75410-3 rating guaranteed to withstand 350kg of pressure from a surface area of 5cm², and 500kg from a pressure area of 1m². Please note this is not an Australian standard.
Thanks to negligible air flow from the cargo area, hazardous fuel and exhaust fumes are prevented from entering the driver’s compartment. In addition, any gaps can be sealed off with clear silicon to further minimise vapour or gas transfers.
The bulkhead’s wide window is made from safety glass and gives the driver an excellent view into the cargo area and through the slide door window.
5. Strength and flexibility
Our bulkheads are made from ABS plastic and are high pressure moulded in one piece for extra strength, quality, fit and finish. They have built-in flexibility to withstand impacts without cracking or splitting. Our bulkhead is the result of extensive research and long-term product development. In the development process, ease of installation, improving the fit and using stronger materials were taken into account, ensuring extra safety.
6. Factory colours
Colours and textures are matched with that of the factory dashboard and floor covering, and customers have commented positively about the look of the product.
7. Quick and easy installation
It takes about 30 minutes to install the wall and no specialist tools are required.
8. Presentation
Our bulkheads help turn the van load space into a functional and professional-looking work area. A tidy van makes a positive and professional impression when visiting customers.
9. Residual value
When selling the vehicle a well-organised and protected van offers better trade-in value.
10. Organised load space
The user operates daily from a well-organised load space.
