Shelving plans for truck

[RyanT]

Sort of a long shot, but does anyone have any plans for outfitting a box truck with shelving?

Starting a feature this next week and it looks like we may just rent a penske truck or something for the duration and outfit it as a grip truck. Just trying to make it as easy to work off of as possible. A lot of things will be on wheels, but I'm just looking for something simple for our bigger lights, additional grip stuff, speedrail, dolly track, and something overhead for ladders. Pretty standard setup....Anyone done this before?

Two quickie options I can think of, and both available at SAMs club. They have a heavy duty shelving unit which can be assembled and then ratcheted down to the E-track in your rental truck. They also have a stainless steel roll around cart for $59 which will support up to 500 pounds if memory serves. It has three levels, but I have found that if you take the middle shelf out there is room for larger lights like HMIs on the top and the ballist on the bottom. I have a few of these which I roll on to set rather than making multiple trips for lights and such.
Just make sure you have plenty of E-track clips for your ratchet straps.

Good Luck!

Look in the Corrado thread; Adam built his own grip truck, there might be pictures and explanations of what he did.

Get lots of milk crates too.

My trailer has plywood shelves but they're attached to the walls. I could give you dimensions if you really want. For something less permanent those heavy steel shelves are the ticket but they're not cheap.
