that sucks, i have been looking at these for my van, figures,, that would have been too easy

I don't see the point of using this outside of a van. I would build some kind of sysport (https://goo.gl/images/A5Nzxu) instead if I was working from my shop. The rack is better in a van because it is lightweight and takes no space when you are not using it but I see no reason to use it in a shop.

At least they are telling you up front, not to do it. I am sure when they show up on HomeDepot.com , some idiot will install them in a van and rate it one star and tell folks why it was unsatisfactory for the job.

 

There was another thread: 

that mentioned them with pictures, and a description of the differences in the brackets (on page 2). From what it sounds like the brackets are lighter because they won't be moving like on the trolley/ hand truck and taking abuse. I also think the vertical tubes come in multiple pieces instead of one piece tubes (it makes it easier and cheaper to ship with a 2 1/2 foot box instead of one 5 feet long. So the strength would be compromised there too.

I think it is more of a liability issue. If they would brake loose in a accident and come flying forward and hit the driver or passenger they don't want the liability and dodge the lawsuit.

I could see them working well in a job trailer even though they are not vehicle rated

I thought about using them for inside my bedroom closet since I like to keep my batteries inside.

I know I have posted it before but we just use 2 10" heavy duty angle brackets. We screwed them right to a piece of 3/4" osb in our van. Welded a tab to keep the boxes in place. Cheap and heavy duty.

I wish they came with the arms there showing I'm not a big fan of the solid ones I have two racks in my trailer and need the arm to fold so I can get Hvac equipment in the trailer , other than that there working greaygreat

[Jronman]

is it possible for the side handles to open up just enough to where the box could vibrate off of the rack during travel in a van or trailer?

Big disappointment.......DeWalt cheaply made the brackets for this wall mounted system

Yea I wasn't to happy about that the ones you see mounted now need to collapse so I can fit geo thermal units in the trailer so it looks like I'll be spending some cash on brackets , if you notice tho they show the good brackets in the video

I don't think the handles would open at all with the springs holding them in place
