Greetings
I used to have a 24ft van body that I set up with shelving units down both sides as well as across the back.
If I recall, I built my own shelves from lumber approx 24” deep. That gave me a nice wide 4ft aisle down the center which doubled from time to time as floor storage for heavier items like engines etc.
Key is manoeuvrability, I used flat dolly cats with casters to be able to roll heavy items within the van body.
This way I could at least get them to the rear door to pick with a lift or man handle into a trailer or what have you.
Recently I purchased a 40ft high cube which is 9ft high inside.
I will likely do something similar again with 24” deep industrial redi-rack running down both sides floor to ceiling.
One of the first things I will likely do is to install lighting down the center to see what I have ...
