that sucks, i have been looking at these for my van, figures,, that would have been too easy
I don’t see the point of using this outside of a van. I would build some kind of sysport (https://goo.gl/images/A5Nzxu) instead if I was working from my shop. The rack is better in a van because it is lightweight and takes no space when you are not using it but I see no reason to use it in a shop.

At least they are telling you up front, not to do it. I am sure when they show up on HomeDepot.com , some idiot will install them in a van and rate it one star and tell folks why it was unsatisfactory for the job.
There was another thread:
that mentioned them with pictures, and a description of the differences in the brackets (on page 2). From what it sounds like the brackets are lighter because they won’t be moving like on the trolley/ hand truck and taking abuse. I also think the vertical tubes come in multiple pieces instead of one piece tubes (it makes it easier and cheaper to ship with a 2 1/2 foot box instead of one 5 feet long. So the strength would be compromised there too.

I think it is more of a liability issue. If they would brake loose in a accident and come flying forward and hit the driver or passenger they don’t want the liability and dodge the lawsuit.
I could see them working well in a job trailer even though they are not vehicle rated
I thought about using them for inside my bedroom closet since I like to keep my batteries inside.

You can do what you want. If you want to put them in your van or trailer it on you to make it work and DeWalt takes no Liability.
You can get them now at the Tool Barn http://www.toolbarn.com/dewalt-dwst08260.html?psrid=226090146 or at Amce Tools http://www.acmetools.com/shop/tools/dewalt-dwst08260?cm_mmc=Affiliate-_-SaS-_-290560-_-619300 For $99.99
I know I have posted it before but we just use 2 10″ heavy duty angle brackets. We screwed them right to a piece of 3/4″ osb in our van. Welded a tab to keep the boxes in place. Cheap and heavy duty. [External image (uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com), not copied]
I wish they came with the arms there showing I’m not a big fan of the solid ones I have two racks in my trailer and need the arm to fold so I can get Hvac equipment in the trailer , other than that there working greaygreat
is it possible for the side handles to open up just enough to where the box could vibrate off of the rack during travel in a van or trailer?
Big disappointment…….DeWalt cheaply made the brackets for this wall mounted system

Yea I wasn’t to happy about that the ones you see mounted now need to collapse so I can fit geo thermal units in the trailer so it looks like I’ll be spending some cash on brackets , if you notice tho they show the good brackets in the video

I don’t think the handles would open at all with the springs holding them in place
