How it works

Installs in under 15 minutes.

GatePass mounts to the factory D-ring mounts already in your van. One drill, no structural changes, no weeks of waiting.

Upfit

01

Roll the platform in and bolt it to the van's eight factory D-ring mounts. One person, one cordless driver, under 15 minutes.

02

Downfit

Van due for service, a recall or a lease return? Unbolt, attach the legs, and roll it out. The van leaves stock; your gear stays loaded.

Refit

03

Roll it into a spare or a new van and get back to work. The upfit and its 10-year warranty move with it.

GatePass vs Traditional Upfits

A traditional upfit is bolted, drilled and riveted into one van. A GatePass upfit belongs to you.

Repairs happen. Lost Revenue Doesn’t Have to.

Warranty work, recalls and repairs take vans off the road. With a traditional upfit, the gear is stuck in the shop with the van. With GatePass, you roll it into a spare or rental and keep working.
