Installing Shelves in our Electric Laundry Van

We just purchased an electric laundry pickup and delivery van with a range of over 300 miles per charge. Laundromat owners often wonder what type of shelves to install in a laundry pickup and delivery van? We just decked out the laundry van with Ranger folding shelves and are now taking it to the Graphics shop to wrap it so our van will be a travelling billboard, while picking up bags of money, I mean laundry. One of the key ways to keep the laundry organized and from flying off the shelves depends on what type of shelves you use for the laundry van.
