A van partition, often referred to as a “bulkhead,” is a must-have accessory for any van owner especially if you are using your vehicle for commercial purposes or everyday business. The primary function of a modular sliding partition is to act like a divider wall between the driver’s cabin and the rear area where you generally store your cargo or work tools. 

Typically, van partitions are made using steel panels, which makes them robust and form a solid barrier between the two areas of the vehicle. However, you are also likely to find a lot of bulkheads and partition options in composite materials as well as aluminum. The reason why the industry is slowly but steadily moving away from conventional steel partitions is that they tend to add a lot of weight to the van, which may directly affect the vehicle’s fuel efficiency.

Meet Jared Pridmore and his wife, Amanda, the proud owners of Precision Auto Glass in Conway, Arkansas. Their Safe Fleet story begins when they bought a new van for their growing company. Little did they know this van and one crucial safety product would save one of their lives.

Amanda, always vigilant about safety, researched the importance of having a partition behind the van's seats. Jared, after 20 years of driving a van without a partition, felt he didn't need one. “We are going to order this partition, install it, and THEN you can drive the van,” Amanda declared.

“Of course, I listened to her. We ordered it and waited,” Jared conceded. While they waited for their partition to arrive, the van sat unused. Little did Jared know this decision would prove to be life-changing for both. 

A few weeks after installing the Heavy-Duty Steel Partition from American Van, a Safe Fleet brand, Jared’s investment would be put to the test.  “Thank goodness I listened to Amanda,” added Jared
