Weather Guard Ford Transit Low-Roof Mesh Bulkhead

Description

Watch tools and materials in your cargo bay while keeping passenger seats safe with the Weather Guard Ford Transit Mesh Bulkhead. Heavy expanded metal keeps conduit, ladders, and fittings from shifting into driver areas. It limits sound insulation compared to solid panels. The steel framework bolts down to Transit floor and roof ribs.

Formed 16-gauge steel frames support a heavy-duty expanded steel wire mesh screen. A bright white powder coat finish prevents rust from damp cargo exposure and resists work shoe scuffs. Formed mounting brackets bolt directly into factory van tie points. The assembled screen unit weighs 46 lbs, measuring 68.5 inches wide, 50 inches tall, and 6 inches deep.

Key Features of Weather Guard 96302-3-01

Electricians buy Weather Guard 96302-3-01 bulkheads to keep conduit bundles secure behind low-roof Transit front seats. Ford Transit cargo partition pricing balances cab safety against clear mirror sightlines.

• Expanded steel wire mesh allows direct rear mirror visibility out rear window glass panels.
• Heavy-duty steel perimeter frame stops forward load shifts during emergency braking stops.
• White powder coat finish reflects cabin lighting to brighten dark rear cargo working spaces.
• Custom bracket configuration bolts straight to Ford Transit factory attachment points without floor drilling.
• Open mesh openings allow cab climate control air to circulate into the rear work area.
• Contoured side frames clear driver seat recline levers and seatbelt housing trim panels.
• Integrated perimeter flanges provide attachment points for hanging safety gear and hard hats.

Impact Retaining Structural Rigidity

Static load testing shows the expanded steel mesh withstands 400 lbs of distributed load with under 0.150 inches of deflection. Welded mesh intersections hold intact under dynamic impact loads from sliding 200-lb pipe stands. The 16-gauge tubular frame maintains square perimeter form without twisting during rough road transit. Cab hardware bolts withstand 1200 lbs of sheer force without pull-out.

Noise Pass Through Fleet Cautions

Installing this partition requires two workers to position the steel frame through rear side doors without gouging trim. Do not buy this open-mesh screen if you need silent cab operation or strict climate containment. Loose drywall dust and spray fumes migrate through the wire mesh into front seats. Tighten all bracket fasteners securely into van ribs.

• Inspect van roof attachment bracket bolts every 5000 miles to prevent road vibration chatter.
• Vacuum road grit and jobsite dust out of lower floor mounting brackets during truck maintenance.
• Wipe down expanded metal mesh with damp shop cloths to remove oil film.
