Project Ideas

Business

Van Shelving Installation Package

Offer a turnkey service installing configurable shelving systems in tradespeople's vans and trucks using the extended beam sockets and 2x4s. Create tiered packages (basic, trades, premium) that vary by socket count, shelf material, and add-ons like drawers or tool mounts. Market to electricians, plumbers, florists and delivery drivers. Provide before/after photos, quick install times, and mobile service options.


DIY Kits & Plans

Sell pre-cut DIY shelving or decking kits that include a 10-pack of sockets, cut 2x4s or aluminum beams, fasteners, and a laminated set of plans with photos and a video link. Offer kit variants for common vehicles (sprinter, cargo van, enclosed trailer). Low barrier to entry for hobbyists and contractors who want a reliable, professional-looking install without custom fabrication.


Event & Market Vendor Rentals

Create a rental inventory of modular display walls and shelving that vendors can rent for single events. Build several plug-and-play units using the sockets so they pack flat in a trailer. Charge per-day rental plus setup/takedown fees. This appeals to seasonal vendors and pop-up retailers who need professional displays without the capital expense.


Instructional Workshops & Online Courses

Run local hands-on workshops teaching people how to convert vans/trailers using e-track sockets, or produce a paid online course with downloadable cut lists and templates. Include modules on load calculations, weatherproofing, and finishing. Sell templates and material lists as digital upsells and promote through social media showing time-lapse builds.


Accessory Bundles & Upsells

Develop and sell complementary accessories that pair with the sockets: pre-drilled 2x4 beam kits, anti-rattle liners, lock pins, custom-painted beams, or branded plywood shelf fronts. Offer bundles for quick add-on sales on marketplaces (Amazon, Etsy) or at trade shows. Bundling increases average order value and helps differentiate from commodity socket sellers.

Creative

Two-Tier Mobile Shelving

Build a lightweight two-tier shelving system inside a cargo van or trailer using 2x4s inserted into the extended beam sockets mounted to e-track. Use the 10-pack to create two rows of shelves along one side: ledger sockets on the floor track and top sockets at chest height. Finish shelves with plywood cut to length. Result: durable, removable shelving for parcels, tools, or event gear that can be reconfigured or removed when you need full floor space.


Fold-Down Workbench

Create a fold-down workbench that attaches to an e-track wall: mount a horizontal 2x4 beam in the sockets as the bench hinge member and add a supporting swing leg that nests into a second socket when folded. When lowered and locked, it provides a sturdy 24–30" deep work surface; when up it clears space for transporting larger items. Add a plywood top, a quick-release support pin, and rubber bumpers for transport.


Modular Camper Kitchen Deck

Use the sockets and 2x4s to build a raised decking platform in a compact camper or conversion van. Create sections that slide into sockets to form a tooth-saw style deck for sleeping or gear storage. Sections can be removed to access compartments below. The zinc-coated sockets resist moisture—good for camper use—and the modular panels make cleaning and reconfiguration simple.


Pop-Up Market Display Racks

Design lightweight display racks for farmers markets or craft shows: use aluminum garment beams or 2x4s in the sockets to make multiple horizontal tiers for crates or hanging hooks. Because the sockets are compact and corrosion-resistant, you can set up consistent, repeatable displays in a vehicle and quickly drop them into an e-track-equipped trailer or truck for transport and storage.


Bike & Gear Vertical Storage System

Construct a vertical storage rail inside a trailer: mount several sockets at intervals down the wall and slide in 2x4s with padded hooks or cradles attached. The beams act as standoffs so bikes hang vertically without touching the wall. Add straps to the e-track for extra security. This setup protects gear and makes loading/unloading faster at job sites or events.
